Pictures of the Month

I had an old cookbook that needed some altering,so I used BG Recess papers to cover it and the c/b pages. I am putting my favorite pictures of each month in the book. I had posted the book and January pics on my now "gone to blog heaven" blog so here it is again with February's pictures.This is a fun way to use up my stash and remember so of the fun events of each month

Soccer and Basketball

We spent this weekend with the grandkids and of course that involves some type of sporting event. First we went to Tuckers soccer scrimmage. He is always in motion and loves every sport. Off next to Keytons baskeball, thankfully it was inside, and his team won. I can't seem to manage to get a good action basketball shot. I admire my dil ability to get 3 active boys to 3 different sport activities in one day plus do a bake sale! So glad I only have one to get somewhere...oh wait she can drive!

Only on a Texas Road Trip

On our way to and from Red Oak we saw some fun things along the way.

West, Texas, an awesome Czech bakery. The line was out the doors, the bakery items are mouth-watering. This little store is probably the biggest thing in West, even the Dairy Queen next door is closed.

Italy, Texas,I think the biggest thing in this tiny town are the truck stops and the Shell convenience store on the opposite side of the interstate from the truck stop. This store has a Sonic and Bar-B-Q store inside along with a store full of Texas items for sale. Sunday this country band was playing and people were sitting on benches and standing outside their cars, tapping their feet while filling with gas. What a fun idea and great break in your drive.

This strange looking Catapillar stretches along I35. He is painted with boots and green grass. We wanted to see what was behind this Catapillar. There is a community called Dome Park, that has 15-20 very tiny dome shaped houses, that people live in or you can rent for a weekend getaway.Unique in design and certainly a change from your normal motels.

The spaceship was once a game store but now closed. It still attracts lots of glances when you pass by on IH 35. People were walking around this spaceship snapping pictures.

I love finding these odd and unique things along our road trips.

My New Toy

I wanted a VW Slug Bug way back when I was in high school but got a disgusting Corvair. I then joined the Station Wagon group throughout my first group of kids. Moved on to a soccer van with this child. We have various cars in between but none satisfied the little nagging want everytime I saw a VW convertible. A few weeks ago I decided it was time to get something I have always wanted, besides we have an Avalanche that will hold more people. Here is my new little silver VW convertible. What fun I am having with the top down...just turn the heater and seat warmers on and take off!

Red Oak

Here we are in Red Oak visiting the grandkids. We watched Tucker scrimmage soccer in the cold wind and then headed to watch Keyton win his basketball game. Love those little kids sports. I went to Crafty Scrapper and she was having a big sale so Ihad to take advantage of it and see some of the new product from CHA that is coming in!

Valentine Sweetness

T and her boyfriend, (this one has been around the longest) had a great Valentine celebration. They went to Dos Salsas ( our favorite Mexican food restaruant) and then this Sat. he took her to P F Changs. He also loaded her down with some sweet and thoughtful gifts. He is a really nice boy but does have to learn that taking his picture is one of the perks or punishments for being her bf:)

Word Bloom Pool Album

Well, my old blog is still missing but hopefully we are making some progress!

Here is a Pool album showing my grandkids in the pool this summer

Acrylic Flower Album

I made this one for the bluebonnets that will be blooming in a few weeks!

I Lost my Blog

I deleted my blog! I can't find it to get it back! I am so unhappy! Google isn't a live person and I doubt they will ever answer my emails. Guess this is starting over.
