HE makes all things new

My oldest son purchased the taj mahal of dog kennels. It is extremely nice and we installed it in the backyard in the middle of two nice bushes. Over time the grass started to grow and I kept dropping subtle hints to both of my boys that it would be much easier to keep the kennel clean daily than to let the grass grow and get out of hand. I held out hope that the day would come when it would get so bad that they would want to clean it back up. Well my oldest picked today. The first day of the brand new school year for the task. It was a loooooong day. It was a good day but a loooooong day. I was exhausted before I made it home. We both rolled up our sleeves and got after it. There was grass to cut, stones to wash, and holes to fill with dirt. Several hours into the job things were starting to look good. I could tell when he asked for help that he was ready for the job but wasn't sure where to even start. That's when it hit me like a ton of bricks while

Pictures, Pictures, and Pictures Oh My!

Family Picture night.  They were all smiles not knowing what lied ahead of them.  Shoe drop. You know I've never lost a shoe like this in the wide open but we bar our cars when we run in a store for a brief moment.  I tried to be quarterback but to not much avail.  One if the first and one of the best. We didn't stop there. We kept searching for that magical shot.  Starting to go downhill.  I sorta like this one alot though.  There's always time to make a few campaign shots just in case.  Wow. When did time kick in on this guy? Nice smile. GQ may want them digits.  Ok everyone huddle up. Steven is on lookout.  They look so calm and peaceful.  (There are some stories a photo can't tell) Blessed.  Not real sure I can add anything to this.   Doing what she loves  Family photo night was actually not that bad. I did come to the realization that a lot of my vacation memories come from picture night. I'm thankful to have the family I have and maybe a photo is just one simp

Road Trip 13

How many folks can you fit in one car? When we set out on this adventure we had no idea how much fun you can have when you cram 7 people with luggage in a car made for 4 on these type trips.  Sheldon. Chicks dig geeks..... Photobomb or pose while his momma is in the belly of the shark? U decide.  He found flipper. Aren't they cute? cough cough Who Dat? cough cough  Close call here but they managed to come out of this without a scratch. Don't be fooled by the laughter that shark was huge.  You can't tell but there is a huge shark mouth behind us. (There everywhere down here) It's all ok we got out safely. Gathered around the table for red velvet, chocolate chip, cinnastack pancakes. Checkout the view of the ocean in the background.  It's was as grand as it sounded. Coulda used a crew of men to tote me outta there.  It's 3am and they are all still laughing and taking.  Not at all. Can't think of any better way to spend a Saturday night than with family laughin

It's a bird it's a plane

My first airplane ride. Looking out that window wondering what I had gotten myself into.  We flew over land. Not sure why the floatation device was necessary.  I was prepared for the worse but hoping for the best.  Was told this was a horrible flight. Seeing as how it was my first I had nothing to compare it to. I caught a few images out the window during prayers.  Getting ready to land in Houston. I would have kissed the ground but my knees were shaking to bad.
