Grandma B and Miles










Grandba B and Miles had a great time when she and Papa B watched him during the day while Angie was in Oklahoma. We caught them horsing around in the front yard just before they left for home. The other night, while laying in bed, Miles said - out of the blue - "I miss Grandma B."


Check out Grandma B's sprinting style - she looks a little like Jesse Owens.

First day of school


The girls were the hit of Blanco Vista Elementary School on the first day of school. Such beautiful girls!!!! Pink appears to be the color theme on Day 1.

Good rain






It had been so long since it had rained, a couple of weeks ago the kids insisted on getting outside and frolicking a little bit. It was a nice August reprieve.

Oklahoma museum




The kids enjoyed a trip to the museum when they were in Oklahoma this summer. The alligator with the sharp teeth bears a striking resemblance to Bob Stoops...
