Had a Blast in Roundtop!!

I am so lucky to have this special and kind of unique relationship with my best friend Tracy. You see she and I are best friends and our daughters are the same age and they are BFF's also!!! Isn't it crazy. Well, the first of this month we decided to all meet up at my house and head down by the Texas capital and attend this wonderful antique alley at Roundtop, TX. It was absolutely delightful. We had a wonderful, CRAZY time with our 19 year old daughters. Hope we get to do this again before too long.

Huntin'

Shani and Jack found out very quickly that Wes likes everything that guys like to do. They took him out while the guys were shootin skeet and he LOVED it. He also loves to play cowboys and indians with his mama. They play and he says "dang" "dang", instead of bang, bang. He is just the cutest!!! We got to see him last weekend and we hadn't seen him for a couple of weeks. It was so fun and he is starting to talk more and more. That's when his daddy and grandad decided that he needed a Red Ryder gun, with no B B's in it. It's taller than he is, but he doesn't want anybody messin' with his gun.

Just had to post something with this picture since it was so cool.

LOOK AT W ON THE TUBE!

He absolutely loved it!!! Just kept taking and talking! GinGin went real slow and he had mommie and Aunt Holly right there with him. Isn't it amazing how much he has grown since last summer. Such a little boy now! We always have so much fun with him when we are all together. We had another great time at the lake, but the guys didn't catch many fish and they fished all night one night, I think it wore the old grandpa KB out. He was trying to keep up with the young guys, HAHA. I got to spend the night with Shani and sleep in W's bed. It was late when we got to their house cause he had a tummy ache and needed some medicine which we didn't have at the lake, so we went to their house. It was nice to stay at their house for the night and the next morning Wes said, GinGin, come here, talking about me coming into Shan's bed and gettin in bed with them. Then I got to laugh and play with him. He's really a morning kid, gets that from Great Granddad Mac. Well, got to go think about school.

Tracy's B and B

Tracy's new home is just beautiful and she has such a knack for decorating. It seems like however she places decorations they just look perfect. Here is the precious bedroom where we stayed it is decorated for her daughter.

We are having a blast!

Rockport Texas is along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. There is a really neat place to eat a cajun crawfish boil. The Boiling Pot is great. We are having such a good time.

Whatcha workin on Wednesday

I love to make jewelry. I would love to sell some, but it seems like whenever I get something made either I want to keep it or give it to my daughters.These are just a few of the pieces that I have made.

Hope you enjoy seeing some of my projects.

I have been visiting with the Redneck Chic. She has some of the cutest purses and bags. She also makes some of the neatest projects from who knows what. Check out her blog at http://www.redneckchic.blogspot.com/

I need some help with how to link these blogs with their title.

I LOVE MY KB

We were able to go see the kids about 35 miles away on Saturday and we love to eat at a mexican restaurant there, so while we were eating little man got kind of tired of sitting so KB took him to look at the games. There was one with a steering wheel and one with a gun so he and KB played those a while.

The last time little man came to our house to spend the night we had a good time outside.

He loved the kitties and walking barefoot in the grass in the backyard. See GinGin, I'm trying to hold the kitty so good! I just might be holding

him a little tight. But I love him! I sure had a good time with my Aunt Holly. Then my mommy and daddy came and all the big kids had a water fight, I think my daddy got Aunt Holly REALLY GOOD! HAHA

BLUE HAD HER BABY

Our blue roan mare had her colt last night, I guess. It is a red roan horse colt with a blaze face and stocking feet. She seems to always make us wait so long. Shani is headed out there to the pasture where the mares and colts are. I will have pictures as soon as Shani sends some to me. I hear he is really a pretty colt. Shani took these pictures when she went to the pasture. She told Wes, "Oh, it's a bitty baby!" and he said "Ohhhhhhhhh". He loves the horses. He has really pretty markings and he will be a good horse. Just like his brother from last year. KB said it was about time to geld Ringo.

When will Blue have her Baby?

Our blue roan mare had her last year's colt exactly a month after Wes was born and we thought she would have her baby at the same time as he was born. She always fools us. We have been waiting on this new baby for a month it seems like. So Shan and Wes go and check on her almost everyday. I feel so sorry for her. I know she is ready to have her baby, and just think human ladies we could have to carry our babies for almost a year. YUCK!!!!! I think 9 months is plenty long enough. I'm sure Shani's best friend who was due this week would totally agree with me.

This picture was taken last week when Shan and Wes went out to the ranch where blue is to check on her. She loves Wes and WEs loves all the horses, and he is definitely used to them, as you can see.

This is Blue's last years horse colt. He is one beautiful colt and he loves Wes too. When he was born at our house we were trying to thing of a name and KB named him tally, cuz his tally-wacker was always hanging out. Well, when the kids took him to their place to wean him they decided to name him Ringo. So here is Tally-Ringo. He is one good looking colt.

My Cosmetologist Does a Beautiful Job

Holly has been working so hard to finish cosmetology school this summer. She is very good at making all of us look beautiful!! My mom and Dad have been coming over every other week to get haircuts, etc. She really does a great job with all the family hair. They sure do have to work hard in school. The haircuts are $5.00 and the pedicures are $10. So if you want a bargain go to the cosmetology school and get beautiful.

Holly and my dad share the same birthday, so at the end of June we had a celebration!!! Mom and Dad live in a townhouse complex that has a pool, so we all enjoyed being at their home to celebrate. We had great friends and family over, great food, and great fun.

I love being with family!!

Got to spend a little time with my mom, dad and oldest daughter today!!! We did travel around to a few towns down here, but we're not but about 30 or 40 miles from many great cities in Central Texas. Shani came to Hillsboro, picked me up and we took their boat to Cleburne to have a little work done on it. Mom and Dad came from Waco and were headed to Target in Waxahachie to get a little chest freezer for their house. So we all met in Waxahachie for lunch. It was lots of fun just to spend some time and let Wes entertain us all.

It's About Time !!!!

I have not been paying much attention to my blog. I got to meeting old high school chums on facebook and it has been lots of fun, in fact two of them only live 30 miles from me and we grew up together 9 hours away. We even got to have lunch together a couple of weeks ago. It was great to catch up and we can still talk on facebook. Also, I've been so busy looking at all the wonderful blogs and things I can learn and do that I've not had much time for my own blog. I will try to keep this going as often as I can.

I have been having a wonderful summer. I got to go to Corpus Christi and see my BF Tracy and we had a wonderful time together. Hoping to go back before summer is over. She is doing so good. I have also gotten to spend time with my little grandson and my daughters. Also, its been so nice to see my mom and dad every few days.

Birthdays at 50 and 75!!! Wow what a March

My mom and have both have birthdays in March only 4 days apart. We have always had wonderful celebrations together, but this year is especially special since she turned 75 and I turned 50. Wow, I hate to say that I am fifty, but I am a grandma you know, and I love saying I'm a grandma. Anyway, we had several celebrations. I had mom and dad over for supper on her birthday and they had us over on my birthday, then we were able to have the our our girls and the rest of the family get together at a steakhouse in a neighboring town. There is a great little town that is a short driving distance for all of us, even though we all live in three different towns. So here's to birthday's, the FIRST, the FIFTIETH, and the SEVENTY-FIFTH!!!! Wow what a year!

These pictures are kind of cool showing my mom holding W when he was a tiny baby, and me holding him at 1 year old at the zoo this week.

Valentine's Day Cutie

We had such a wonderful Valentine's night with our precious grandson and his mommy and daddy. We went to the Outlaw Steakhouse where they joined us. After a great steak dinner we looked in on the dance that we could not attend because they were sold out. But, we were able to just listen to some music during a break and he is loving to "dance" now. It is so funny and just hysterical. After dancing a little we found a little car in the arcade area. He loved it the first time and had to stand up as he thinks he is so big and is starting to walk everywhere. But when daddy put in another quarter, he was done!!!!!He is so funny and a blast even when he is upset.
