Brittany’s Graduation 2011

scan 2Well, it’s finally that time…In the summer of 2011.

So many years ago [was it?], she started school and this year was her last year. Beck and I realize it hasn’t been easy with as much as we’ve moved around; school to school, having a relocate, making new friends and working with all the new teachers.

Brittany has finally reached the end of the rat race and she’s graduating from Little Elm, TX High School.

This week, all that ends!

And we are very proud of her getting to this point and we wish her the best as she decides to go forward in to the next steps of life. It’s all about the new cars, new jobs and new challenges.

And we want to thank everyone for all the good luck wishes…

We worked on the up stairs area this weekend. Cleaned up,painted and changed some light fixtures. It’s a light tan color with white trim…

Beck has become really good at trim work… she doesn’t tape off the areas anymore… Mike taught her well.

We still have the faucet to change in the up stairs bathroom to do,but it’s coming along…

We also stained the back porch door… it looks much better.

Even MORE Pictures From The Dallas Arboretum; Part Duex

FILE0003When we went down there it was already around 90 degrees outside; this is only May.

The Dallas Arboretum grounds looked outstanding[...] there were so many flowers and trees and just a bunch of special areas. It was the perfect opportunity to catch some nature pictures. It was funny- the squirrels must be just so happy in there… They were everywhere and they were having a ball… Even with people, they seemed very comfortable getting close.

We walked around for about 2 hours, but as the day went on, the heat was really starting to set in, so I think we cut it a bit short…

These pictures were taken with my little black camera; my little AIPTEK 8mp / 720p HD video camera. It’s not a high end camera, it’s so simple. One button picture, one button video – easy. I was surprised at the quality of some of these shots. There were a few that didn’t make it, but here’s the ones that did make it.

 

Enjoy!

Spring is cranking up- it’s getting hot!

image Wow, how time flies… Last week we got some red mulch for the flower beds and tried to make few things look a little better. We got some tomatoes, bell peppers, Jalapeños and some herbs. We had a old friend drop by last week; Kim was here on Wednesday. She was here on business, but managed to get some free time and drop by our house.

Beck found a patio set for an incredible $40. It’s a large table, with the tiles you can replace, 6 chairs; two of them are rocker/swivel chairs. it came with an umbrella and stand, but we didn’t need it.

And there’s more…

December Brings Domestic Adventures

Here’s a few picture we’ve been shooting around the house.

Ethan got a new recliner to put in his room; just had to have it. Beck and I went to go see a movie and they had the Chipmunks out there, so I caught a quick snap with her in it. I thought it was cute.

Ethan bit in to something yesterday and his tooth almost fell out and he was crying about it hurting, and then I get a call from Beck saying that Ethan was running through the house and miss his turn to his room and hit the door frame; putting a huge knot on his head.. [another one]
