True Country Boy

 I had a girl night one night with some friends and Cody sends me this picture.......I about lost it.  That is the biggest rattlesnake I have ever seen!  Is this kid scared....NO! We have a 40 year old grown man on the ranch that works with Cody.  He would have messed in his pants if he had seen this thing, ha!

 Cody sends me a rattlesnake pic everyday.  They are everywhere down here.

 Jones has been wanting to muttin bust since he was 2.  I didn't think he was ready at 2 and we just never have been able to sign him up.  It's pretty competitive and you have to know people to get in.... Jed's company he works for down here in South Texas sponsored a rodeo down in Carizzo Springs.  We were in this year!!  Jones was SO excited.!

 He fell asleep on the way down and Doodee was his headrest, ha!

 Waiting on the sheep!

 He rode, and lasted about 4 seconds.  It bucked him off, ha.  He loved every minute of it and ready to go again!

Here's to the next muttin bustin!

End of School Shenanigans

 J's Pre-K, 2015-1016 School Pic!

 Somehow he manages to come home every day with a sticker book..We have stickers coming out of our ears....

 We have worn him out with last minute end of school errands!

 T-ball wrapped up!  He loved playing with his friends and against his friends!

 Worn smooth out!

 Our end of year play day at the school was fun!

 We got our new playground installed!!!!!!

 He has grown so much!

I got a sweet yeti gift from one of my kiddos!

Here's to a fun summer and a long break!

This Kid

 

I've been teaching at J's school in the afternoon, so when he gets sick I need a sub. I didn't want to get a sub today. He had a high fever and no other symptoms. He stayed across the hall, playing with toys, his puzzles and watching a movie on his IPad for 3 hours while I did my classes. He is such a prince and one special kiddo. He didn't interrupt my class once. What other 5 old can or even would do that? There ain't one!

Jbear, I hope you always know how special and one of a kind you are!

Relay for Life 2016

I've never participated in Relay for Life before. I've never lived anywhere where it was such a big deal. My workout ladies have a team every year. I signed up to help and had such a fun time. We had a cinco de mayo theme and sold virgin margaritas. They were so good! One of the ladies had a margarita machine.

We had t ball games that night so we missed the opening ceremonies.

When we had a moment of silence around the track, where we lit bags for the ones who lost their battle with cancer, I look back and see our boys manning our booth for us. I know I have a good man but all my friends I have met down here have good men by them as well. It's nice to see.

Dr's appointments and Easter

Cody had his annual check up with his urologist. Cancer free for 7 years! Whoop whoop! On our way to OKC we hit the hail storm that went thru Wylie/Parker area. We were supposed to drop J off with my mom on our way up north. We slowed down when we got to Dalls, thank goodness, and waited for the hail to pass. Luckily mom had her car in the garage and we told her to stay home and wait out the storm instead of meeting us on 75 to get J. When we finally made it to moms it looked like it had snowed. He dropped J off about 10:30 and headed north a little bit more. Mom sent me this pic of J, in bed, at midnight, eating a peep....

After Cody's Dr appointment in OKC we headed back to East Texas to spend Easter with the family before we headed back south.

We had our annual Peden Easter Egg hunt! Jones won in his division, lol.

The boys got to go fishing!

And I got new hair, ha!
