A Family Affair

Robbie, Blake, Cheryl, Durk, Big Grandma and I pose for a family picture. Durk always the prankster had to get the rabbit ears in, I think he was rebelling against the camera that mom and I always seem to break out. 

Big Grandma

During our vacation to San Antonio, we had Sunday Lunch at mom and dads where they were deputing thier newly remodeled kitchen. This is a picture of Big Grandma and I about to enjoy our meal. 

July 4th Parade

This year, Dijea's clan came to Plano for the annual 4th of July parade, I could not resist sharing these 2 cool dudes Blake and Ethan sporting their shades! 

Summer Fun!

This was taken this summer while my mom was up for a visit. We had hotdogs in the backyard followed by a nice romp in the sprinklers and finally a popsicle to cool us down in the summer heat. 

Pre-K Graduation

OK, we are back and running, now that I know how to upload pictures again. THANKS MOM! Here we are on Blakes big day. He will be starting Kindergarden Aug. 9th, my how the time flies.

Evan Visits!

In March Evan came to the states for a visit with the family. He had graduated High School in New Zealand and was then off to Europe for a year. How exciting. I last heard he is in Paris. This picture captures an evening of play with Blake, Ethan and Hunter.

Christmas at the Alamo

After riding the riverboats to see the Christmas Lights we couldn't miss an opportunity to stop by the Alamo, it is so pretty at night.

Blake the Photographer!

Normally I would not put a picture up of myself but Blake has recently shown interest in taking pictures. He did quite well don't you think?

Secret Item

Ok Mom, the secret item was the 3 cloth pumkins sitting next to Blake. The Skeleton gloves were a gift to Blake from Big Grandma that she purchased on our Target trip.

Boys Weekend

The 4-Wheeler was a big hit. Grand Dad and Blake even took it for a spin at night to try and find some wild hogs. They didn't see any hogs but did report seeing 8 Doe.

Boys Weekend

Grand Dad is teaching Blake the ABC's of Fishing at a Ranch in Clarksville, TX.

Gone Fishing!

Here is a picture of Blake fishing for the first time at my company picnic at Lonesome Dove Ranch in Southlake, TX. He may not have had any luck with the fish but his Bingo card won him a $30 gift certificate to Target where he spent it all on Thomas the Train stuff. Surprise, Surprise!

Bunker

Well 'Ol Bunker is almost 11 yrs old. This is how he spends most of his time, just laying around.

JoJo & Grandad

Sunday afternoons are usually spent at Robbie's folks. Kathy is a great cook and lunch there is always a treat. This is a picture from our day there.

Little Cowboy

This is Blake dressed and ready to go for "Western Day" at school.

New Pet

This is my new Beta fish called "Lil Fella". I've never had a fish before so it's pretty exciting.

Kayaking Anyone?

Stehle and her dad on a two man kayak in St. Charles Bay near Rockport, Texas.

This was so much fun, however there was a bit of a storm overhead which cut the ride a little short. We didn't want to become fried fish from the lightning.

Robbie, Blake & Grandpa

We are off to dinner at Charlotte Plummers in Rockport, Texas.

At The Beach

This day was Robbie's favorite. He loved seeing Blake have fun at the beach. The water was shallow enough that Blake was able to walk out the length of a football field with mom, dad and grandma. Oh, and we had to feed the Seaguls of course!
