Lulu Claus is Coming To Town

Can you tell she hates this hat? 

Waking Up

A relaxing morning after Thanksgiving. 

Too Cool

Thomas is too cool. 

Dianne's Wonderful Pies

 They tasted great, too! 

Fishing Still Good!

  

Halloween

Started on Saturday with the Zoo Boo...


and ended on Sunday with a party at church with Bill and Jenny

Rockdale Fair Weekend

 
 
 Carnival Rides, and Fishing Trips. Hot and cold days.Only Thomas fell in the mud. 

Goofy Boys

Took the boys to dinner tonight so Dianne could get some things done in preparation for the Rockdale tip this weekend... goofy, but cute.

Houston Field Trip

 
 It was a busy time at The Children's Museum. The boys were moving so fast, I couldn't get too many photos. Thomas tried milking the cow, and Charles got to taste a corn dog. 

Water Gun Fight at the O K Corral

 

Two Cuties

I just realized that I still had photos on my camera, so here's a cute one of the boys before the reunion. 

A Great Vacation

 We are back, after 4,165 miles of driving. It was a great trip. We posed here at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone with the Upper Falls behind us. Came home to green pastures after 4 inches of rain over the two weeks, which was good to see. The "girls" missed us, no doubt. 

Let's Go Fast

 That's what Thomas likes to say when we go for a ride. Hope the boys and all are recovering from their country weekend. 

Still Waiting

 After six weeks of no rain, we were hopeful this evening and enjoyed watching the weather ALL AROUND us. We got .16 of much needed rain, but that is not nearly enough. 

Play Date

 While visiting his grandparents, McKade came for a swim party. 

Rancher Thomas

 He looks ready to take some hay to the cows. 

Watermelon Seeds

 Learning a new Rockdale trick, spitting those melon seeds! 

Summer Doo's

Dixie and Clyde got new haircuts for the summer….

Dixie…

…and Clyde.

I picked them up from the groomers and I honestly did not recognize them when they came out.

You be the judge...

Dianne or Russell?

It's Official

 The Retirement Party was a grand success. Thanks for all the effort and for the fun evening. We appreciated everyone and everything. Now we'll just have to concentrate on remembering what day it is, every day. It was great to see everyone. It was a perfect weekend event. 

Driveway Fun

 Time passed quickly for our boys while Mommy and Papa did Wal Mart...driveway fun with two hoses, and many projects. We saved the pool for later. 

Day Laborers

 Russ and Sandy had a great time at the Holliman Dude Farm/Ranch and took the "Day Laborer" Excursion, picking up limbs and mesquite. Four or more trailer loads. Harvey remained on restricted duty, but gave pretty good orders to all. 

It Just Takes Some Sand

 These boys were so happy to have a quiet place to play. 

Is it Summer Yet?

 Hot Day in Rockdale. Cool Day in the pool. 

Helping in The Garden

 Charles got to be Papa's favorite helper.
