Okay, I'm seriously lagging...

But here's a post about how we went to Lake McCarty.... approximately er, a month ago.

..

We packed a dinner and our "picnic" stuff, and chowed down al fresco .

The little boy had lots of fun digging up rocks and shells, drawing in the sand,

exploring rock holes and throwing stones into the lake.

In the midst of all of that, someone got their truck stuck in the water/mud while they were attempting to let their boat down onto the lake.

We even managed to squeeze in some Kite Flying time :)

Loss of Limb

A severe thunderstorm blew through Abilene a couple of days ago, with winds in excess of 90 miles an hour.  We are very grateful that the only casualty was the mesquite tree that stands proudly in our front yard.

We were not home at the time, but this is where we usually park our car. 

We are very sad to that our lovely tree is fractured and we have lost some of the lovely shade it provides, but we are truly truly thankful that it didn't fall on our house or anyONE for that matter.

Yesterday, the hubs ( with the little boy "helping" ), took down the limb and cleared up the front yard. 

Onward and Upward!

Happiness is

A Daddy and little boy who love and adore each other..

Bad Blogger ! Bad Blogger!

This blog wasn't really intended for public consumption.  It was more of a journal of sorts to remember things by, kinda like an online diary.... 

But I haven't been very consistent with it, of late.  ANYWAY, to cut down on the long windedness, I am finally posting Azmari's birthday party - the next little boy in line to turn 4 after Max and Jaxon.  Azmari was born about a month after Jaxon, and is Grandad's Great Great Grandson :)

It's always nice and heartwarming to see Jaxon and Max running around playing and sharing stuff even though they don't get to see each other all that often, now that Taco Tuesday is basically defunct.
