Happy Birthday Bunga!!!

Today my mother in law celebrates a birthday. At this very moment she finds herself at the beach surfing the waves with Caroline and Kendall and her extended family. What a birthday!!! Bunga, as you all may know is an awesome wife, grandmother, mother and mother in law. Like her mother, she has embraced me as her own. I totally hit the jackpot with this family!!! The blessings she has bestowed on me are way too numerous to mention so I will settle on just ten.
Since this lady is always behind the camera, I found it really difficult to find a picture of her. Here she is on her son's wedding day. I would like to think she's smiling so big because her son landed such a great girl :)

Ten things about the birthday girl:
1. She is the sweetest
2. She loves milkshakes
3. Has a magic closet of suprises for my girls EACH time they visit (she lives in town)
4. Has her very own day (Thursdays)
5. Will clear her schedule at the last minute to be with my girls
6. Makes fabulous wedding cakes
7. Will try everything once
8. Loves her Lord and her Faith
9. Never gets mad
10. Takes great pictures

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUNGA!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Icing on the Cake

Last night we were invited to a July 5th party. Fireworks, food, and fun were in full supply. There is a burn ban in effect here in town so the owners of the ranch made a generous donation to the local volunteer fire departments and the fireworks were underway. We all sat in a pasture while the fireworks were shot behind the pond. They were some pretty fantastic fireworks which made the girls shout out that they were better than College Station's the night before. Thanks Heather and Jarrett for invitng us!!!!


Caroline loved the horses



Kendall petting her imaginary horse. She wouldn't go near the real ones!!





The girls got lots of loot!!!






Waiting for the fireworks

Happy Birthday America!!!

Hope you had a wonderful day!!!

87 years young!!!

This spring chicken celebrates a birthday today. Nannie is David's grandmother and lives here in town. Don't let her age fool you. She rides her three wheel bike everyday, runs on errands around town and never forgets a name or address. This lady is tough as nails and won't let you forget it!!!
We are so blessed to have her with us here in town. When Hurricane Rita hit a few years ago, it took away her beloved home and her friends and she was uprooted here with us. She has embraced and loved me as her own. I love her stories and her passion for the Lord. She is truly a southern belle.

Ten facts about the birthday girl:
1. She was a twin
2. Loves her dog Micah
3. Still writes letters to friends
4. Meet once a month with her high school class ('38) until Hurricane Rita came.
5. Loves milkshakes and chicken fingers
6. Always sends a birthday card to all her loved ones
7. Raised three wonderful daughters on her own
8. Humble
9. Loves Dr. Pepper
10. Has never met a stranger

Happy Birthday Nannie I Love You!!!!

Wall E

David took the girls to see Wall E yesterday. I had no desire to see this as I figured this movie might make me nauseous like Meet the Robinsons did with all the fast scenes. The girls didn't like it, but David said that the graphics were pretty awesome. Alot of the story had environmnetal issues that adults could understand, but totally went over the girls heads. I'm sure from a programmers standpoint David could appreciate the labor that went into such a project. If you saw the movie what did you think???
