Thanks to Kim & Richard who hosted a cookout for some of us at work. What a great night...Burgers, Margarita's and swimming. A perfect way to spend a Saturday night in the summer!

Fun with the cousins
Dijea and Mason agreed to keep Blake for the night while we had a cookout with friends. They went to Dave & Busters to Celebrate Leslie's 40th B-day (Mason's sister-n-law).

HTKU Willowbend Invisible Hat
My son is now on youtube, and he is only 6, this is scary! He is in the green shirt with blue stripes. His class at school took part in a video production. They learned how to use a video camera, computer editing, sound effects and then of course how to post it online. The educational objective was learning how to storyboard a movie, practice listening skills and acting.

Debbie's 50th B-day
This is Debbie, she is fabulous at 50. It is kind of a tradition to get some kind of stripper or dance performed by a good lookin' person of the opposite sex when you turn 50...maybe it's to make you feel young inside. I had a brilliant idea to have some of our male staff to do a little something for her. They were quite the sports. We picked a Luau theme for her party and had the guys dress up like hula girls - this was not the sexy thing most would expect when having someone dance for them but it was quite a hit with residents and staff at Preston Place. The man in the red wig is one of our residents Alan Waters who is 90 something and full of life. He was happy to join in the fun, in fact I think he enjoyed it a little too much!

Swimming
Today we went to our new Country Club for a swim. We are no longer members at Los Rios which I was kind of sad about because no one is ever at that pool, BUT as you can see no one was at this pool either. I have figured that most people who are members of a club also have their own pools and that's why they don't come. It's good for us, we get the enjoyment and don't have all the hassle of the upkeep/maintenance of one.

The Best Hosts!
Just wanted to let everyone know that my parents Judy and Walt did a wonderful job hosting all the family while they were in town. They made sure everyone was able to have a good time springing for Seaworld Tickets for 10 of us and dinners out. They sure have a way of making things work out including lending the use of their Explorer to the New Zealand gang so they could get to where they wanted. Way to go Mom & Dad - Your the Best!
Note to Evan
I heard you are starting your own Blog, make sure to let me know the address. Also, I need your email address. I don't have it and would love to talk to you!

One Last Hug Before It Was Time To Go
Blake got one last swim in between all the rain on his last day in San Antonio.
Blake's Favorite Resturaunt
This place has the most wonderful 3 story indoor playground for kids. But even better is the Mexican Food.

SeaWorld
Shamu
Robbie, Blake, Ethan, Brandon & Lizzie all were brave enough to ride this, I'm a big chicken though.
The boys got piggy back rides from Robbie, Brandon & Lizzy.
We were crammed into my Explorer on the way home, note Robbie riding between two carseats in the 3rd row seat, he had only a few inches between the two and mighty uncomfortable - he is such a trooper, you just had to let him know ahead of time if there were any speed bumps.
I Lost my Frist Tooth on Vacation!
The Tooth Fairy finally visited Blake on Vacation. His tooth had been loose for about a month, it was very stubborn, a little like he is. It was all worth it though because she left him $5 whole dollars. That's way more than I got as a kid, I assured him it was only for the first tooth and that you always get more for that one.

FOOLED YA!
So my dad has this joke he plays on people where he walks under a sign and hits it with his hand real hard. Then puts his hand on his forehead like he has really hurt himself. This time he got Brandon and Lizzie real good after dinner.
Walk Behind Grandma's
Lizzie had never seen Cactus Before!I Know Right, but they do not have any in New Zealand.

A Summer's Night Swim
Brandon, Lizzie, Dijea, Robbie (who's taking the picture) and I all went for a little swim after a wonderful dinner (we had at Mom's). Big Grandma's pool is getting a lot of use!

Swimming Buddies!
Blake, Ethan and Hunter also had to break in the pool and get it ready for when Brice, Amy, Tom, Brandon & Lizzie got there.
Uncle Durk & Aunt Cheryl
So, one of the first things we did was go see Durk & Cheryl's new puppy. Her name is Maddie and she is a rat terrier. Durk wanted to bring it over to mom's house but she wouldn't let him, even though all the cousins would have had so much fun with her!

Sunday Lunch
Jo Jo fixed her famous spicy spaghetti today for lunch. This is a picture of JoJo and Blake with their dog Logan.
Show me the Money!
Jo Jo & Grand dad gave Blake $10 spending money for him to use next week on vacation. We will be in San Antonio to visit family.
