Little Golfers....

We played putt-putt this morning. I use the term "play" loosely. But...3 golfers, 3 real putters, no injuries and only 1 tantrum. I'd call it a successful outing!!!!

Where Did He Go???

Cub Scouts can earn a belt loop that requires visiting a TV or radio station. The other day we toured the KSAT station. It was a pretty big group of boys and siblings and they all did pretty well. The highlight was getting to play on the green screen in the studio. The kids loved it!!!!


And after they finished playing, 2 of the newscasters came in to tape segments. Sadly I missed it all because Joshua was so loud that I had to take him out. A nice lady in the hallway took pity on me and gave him a bag of Cheez-Its and a bottle of water. Bought me a few minutes of peace!!! Mike said the kids did really well during the weather segment and the news segment...which was about the latest scandal involving Congressman Weiner. :)

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day weekend at the ranch. It was hot and very windy but we had fun. Went on some bike rides down the rocky rode, played at the river, flew kites, ran through the sprinklers....lots of fun!!!



Such a classic summertime picture!!!!


The crew down at the river.

Our Little Dancer

The ballet class had a recital on the last day. They did one dance "The Mouse Dance". It was pretty cute. Sophia loves being up on stage!!! And afterwards each girl got flowers from their family.

Let's Get Muddy.....

Mary and I become Muddy Buddies this weekend. Such a great time!!! 5.7 miles of biking and running....ending with a crawl through the mud pit. More pictures to come....but these are a few of the best so far.


Jake was so proud of doing the Mini Muddy. He did a great job and had so much fun!!!


We stayed at the Exotic Safari Zoo....I think that's the name. It was a great time with friends and the kids ran non-stop.



Now...can't wait to beat our time at next year's Muddy Buddy!!!

A Special Gift....

The secretary at NPDS is undergoing major surgery next week and will be out for quite a while. the teachers asked me to put together a quilt for her. Each class did a square so all the kids from the school are on the quilt. I also made a matching travel pillow so she could take it with her to the hospital and to doctors appointments. I love taking time out from my regular sewing stuff to make a special gift like this! I can't wait until they give it to her!
