Beautiful Texas Skies!



A few days ago, we walked outside to see this beautiful sky! We never thought it mattered where you were, but one thing is for sure....we've never seen more amazing skies than the ones here in Texas!

Pedernales Falls State Park....another great day!

Our tour of Texas State Parks continued this weekend with Blanco State Park. Hayden got to fish a bit and Rosie had her first run-in with a snake.

Our Crazy Pets!





Lucy loves the warmth of the dryer but we think it's frying her brain.....look closely....she's winking!

Ellie loves to roll around on the bathtub fixtures and now comes running whenever she hears the water.

Rosie thinks she's a gopher and has managed to destroy nearly all the potted plants on the deck and is working on the yard.

Rosie & Hayden











Rosie LOVES to go for walks and now Hayden has taught her some new things - pulling him on his RipStick and going down the slide! She's willing to do just about anything as long as Hayden is involved!

Another trip the The Guadalupe State Park




We took another trip to the Guadalupe State Park - this time the water was still cold, but it was beautiful tee-shirt & shorts weather - in JANUARY believe it or not! To our surprise, Rosie didn't like the water as much as we expected. She made some progress with Hayden's help and will hopefully be more willing to swim as the water gets warmer!

Fetch Anyone???


New Year's Day at Guadalupe River State Park


We visited the Guadalupe River State Park on New Year's Day. It was a bit chilly, but the water was crystal clear and beautiful. Rosie thought it was the best place in the world and wouldn't settle down the whole time. Hayden got to drive his RC boats around - one stalled in the middle of the river and, like a good captain, Hayden tore off his shoes and ran in to save his ship before it was swept away down river. Luckily it wasn't too deep!

A couple more pictures....



Hayden's New Love!






We added another girl to our family this weekend....ROSIE! She's a 9-week-old Black Lab and the sweetest puppy in the world! We got to meet her parents who were just as wonderful. Luckily, Rosie and our other babies are getting along pretty well...as you can see. Hayden was so excited that he crawled into her kennel with her as soon as we got her home! :)

Trip to Washington DC





We were lucky enough to spend a few days in Washington DC for part of Thanksgiving break. We learned a lot and saw some beautiful places! More pictures to come, so please check back again soon! :)

Halloween - Hayden's FAVORITE holiday!


Hayden was a Zombie this year. Almost everyone from the neighborhood gathered on the street for pizza, drinks and fun...then it was trick-or-treat time. Here is Hayden with his buddies from the neighborhood - Nick, Jake, Travis & Brandon.

Pumpkin Carving Contest



Albert and Hayden had their annual pumpkin carving contest and once again....Hayden won! Hayden's is on the right and Albert's is on the left. It was the originality and creativity of Hayden's design that put him in 1st place! :)

More Pictures of the babies!





This little face is just too cute to not take pictures of. Lucy was very upset about the newest adoptee (Ellie), however, she is getting more and more used to her. She's realizing it's fun to have someone around to play with (or beat up on) when we're not home.
