It’s 18 years in the making. Brittany is 18. She’s legal and dangerous. We went to a friends house close to South Fork Ranch to have some grub, fun and water…
Cake and Kids. Art, Lauren, Britt.
Cowboy up!
Group.
We had some fun, sang some birthday songs and swam like the indigenous Texas rocks.
Until next time,

We’ve had 3 tomatoes come off, but they are only the size of a golf ball.
The squash, cucumbers and jalapeños are coming in pretty good.
I’m keeping the garden watered and waiting to see how the bell peppers do.
I’ve to admit it’s getting warmer and I’m kinda’ worried about the Texas heat beat’n he heck out’ta my plants.
If it gets too bad, I’ll be building a small green house type cover with holes in it to let the water through, but mostly to block the direct sun…
Until next time,

Today we had fun at the local duck pond! It is a really pretty pond surrounded by some really old trees. Ethan had a great time chasing the ducks! Brittany & Becca were just trying to keep Ethan from running into the pond!
We even got to see the newest members of the pond, some baby ducks…….
Ethan & Brittany! Ethan and Mommy.
Water duckies and this guy just hung around….watching!
Until next time.
This past week we had some excitement. We had a tornado strike down in Frisco TX. Britty told me there was some bad weather comin’ in, but… I didn’t think much of it as it was nice when I drove in from work.. but…
I was out back and really quick the weather got bad and I went to grab the video camera… the skies went from nice and clear to dark and very windy.
I managed to get a few videos.
This is while the tornado was coming.. the winds were pickin’ up and startin’ to throw stuff around the yard and the rain was startin’ to com in sideways.
I tried to save the gazebo, but it didn’t make it. The winds picked it up and slammed it to the ground.. gone was the daily shade maker. bye bye.
The winds were still kickin around and the signs and trees around the ‘hood were flapping back and forth…
This is the weird sunset after the twister was gone. Every thing was clear and the skied were this orange’y glow.. the camera doesn’t do it justice.. but…
Everyone is okay, a few things broken, but we are just fine.
Until next time,

So the garden is growing and Ethan likes watering it any time we are outside. On a random moment he starts talking about tomatoes and that they are growing and that they’re turning colors.
I tried to catch it.
Until next time,

I wanted to put this out there cause it’s a really cool picture.
I took the picture with our Canon camera; the moon was almost full and I wanted to test out the 20x zoom on something in the dark.
The result was nice.
I want to try to find something a bit nicer; something like a sunset or nice scenery.
Until next time,
Larry Jr.
Thanks to a delicious day of sun and fun, Ethan was out back playing in the pool with ‘Addy’. We got this new pool for Ethan to playing this year and it has a slide. We invited our friends, Ty and Erica, over to play in the pool with their little girl, Addison.
The kids had a great time.
This time next week, there may be a sister for Addison… congratulations to Ty and Erica.
Until next time,
Larry Jr.
Ethan & Addie: We were having lunch with the gang and Addie was trying to give Ethan a kiss….Ethan was trying to get away from her and she just kept coming! It was so cute! She was giggling and he was yelling trying to hide.
Aren’t they so cute!!!
Our little garden is starting to come around. We should have fresh salsa pretty soon! We have several tomato’s and a jalapeno….
The week started off getting to know some of our new neighbors; they’re kinda’ long in the horn, but they keep to their selves and they keep their grass mowed.
They have a nice little yard on the corner and they seem to like saying hi to all the people as they turn in to the neighborhood.
But they come out when they want… and no one argues with them.
We Were driving down the road and caught this picture of a fluffy purple flower.
We were sitting at a red light and we just happen’d to have our camera.
Becca snatched up the camera and took a cool little picture; I think it turned out pretty good considering we started moving just as she snapped the shot.
Haven’t figure out what it is yet.
Texas is hard on gardens [small ones any ways]. So I decided that till’n up the ground and weeding and all that stuff wasn’t for me.
I decided to go down to Lowes and spend about $50 on a garden box. 3 1 x 10 x 6’s and cut one in half an put 3 3” screws in each corner, placed a liner in there and dumped 6 bags of miracle grow in my private little Eden.
We’re going to be having cilantro, jalapenos, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, banana peppers, herbs and cantaloupe.
Some nice shots of Ethan; he likes to help and give things a go..
We had a garage sale this weekend, or Becca did. Came rain and shine and people still showed up in droves and car loads.
I never ceases to amaze me on the people who come to a yard sale that have rock bottom prices and want to haggle over 25 cents; it’s insane.
I took a picture of the from bushes that still had water on them from the recent rain; it turned out good I think.
Thanks for reading!
