Cadillac Ranch

We had a great time visiting Cadillac Ranch while celebrating Christmas in Amarillo with the inlaws. It's a very unique roadside attraction that draws many visitors every year.

Check it out!

Happy Birthday Pax!

It hard to believe he is 8 yrs old already.

For his birthday we bought him a Daisy BB gun.  He listened to the safety lecture and I taught him how to load it.  Then he was ready to start shooting some pumpkins we had laying around the backyard.  As you can see, he is going to be a good shot just like his father.  :-)


Memorial Day Weekend 2014!

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend 2014. It's hard to believe that Summer is here already.

First thing Saturday morning Paxton had the last game of his soccer season. His team, the Rocket Ninja Snakes, lost every game but still had lots of fun learning and playing soccer. Paxton ended the season with 3 goals and 7 blocked shots. He was also selected by his coach as Most Valuable Player.

Later on Saturday afternoon we ventured out to Katy Mills Mall for some family shopping and got into this. Kinda creepy to me but Pax had fun riding it.

On Sunday, Paxton and I made a day trip to Brazos Bend State Park to visit with our friends Jamie, Lisa, and Maxx, who were camping for the weekend.  We had been here before for a day trip back in 2012 to visit out friends Steve, Esther and Sammy while they were camping also.  

We had lots of fun! Highlights were seeing lots of gators while hiking and even getting to touch a baby gator at the Nature Center.  And of course the play area with a huge slide and swings was fun too.  Notice the "big kids" (aka Jamie and Lisa) going down the slide also. 






Maxx even showed Paxton how to play lacrosse and corn hole while we sat around the camp fire cooking and enjoying a few beers. 

Overall a great day outdoors with good friends.  I'm tired just thinking about all of the fun we had.




Galveston Summer 2013

We had a great time at the beach in Galveston with the brother-in-law and his family.  Paxton loved playing in waves and wasn't out of the water for more than 10 mins the whole time we were on the beach.
