alan's jeep

alan finally got his jeep! he has wanted one for so long and he finally found what he was looking for. we are going to have so much fun in it.

rookie

rookie is our lab mix. we have got him on october 31, 2006 from the humane society when he was about two months old. we are so lucky to have a good dog. he is always ready to play and he never meets a stranger (person or dog). he welcomed grayson home and he even gets up with me in the middle of the night to feed him. rookie loves to lick grayson's toes!

taking him home from the humane society

i can't believe he used to be small enough to sit in my lap!

weatherford rodeo

tonight grayson and i went with jill, roy, and my mom to the weatherford rodeo. we met up with our cousins; chris, laura, colton, emma, and graden. we had so much fun watching the emma and graden do the calf scramble. graden was even brave enough to ride a sheep in muttin' bustin'! grayson stayed awake the whole time. i think he really liked it.

father's day

today was alan's first father's day! grayson got him a multi-tool pocket knife that said, "happy first father's day love, grayson."

after alan and grayson took a well deserved nap, we headed to texas de brazil to have dinner with family. we love that place and wanted to share it with larry and evelyn since they have never been there. we tried new foods including grilled provolone, olives, beets, and all kinds of crazy food. we had a good time visiting and hanging out.

beaumont ranch & the brad stinson band

grayson, alan and i met larry and evelyn at beaumont ranch. we got to enjoy the brad stinson band (brad is an old friend) and revisit the place where we were married. we also bought grayson his first cowboy hat!

a day at the lake

alan and i took off work and took the boat out for a relaxing day of fishing and swimming on lake benbrook. we dropped grayson off at evelyn's house and headed to the lake. we didn't anticipate that the wind would be blowing 30mph! we found a little cove to shelter us from the wind that was full of wildlife. we got to see snakes swimming side by side, turtles, and schools of minnows. we tried to catch the minnows but we could not catch them! we need more practice casting the net. alan caught two small bass and i didn't catch anything. it could have been due to the fact that i was trying to read a book at the same time. we really enjoyed a day away from everything!
