Our new blessing ....


Here is the latest addition to our family. A French Bulldog that we call "Sugar". Jack and Caroline have been begging for a dog for a long time. We finally gave in when Jack pleaded that he did not want to take a stuff animal to school again for the annual St. Mark's Blessing of the Animals ceremony. So luckily we found Sugar a few days before in East Texas. She has been a great puppy so far. And the kids LOVE her. She is Caroline's new best friend!

Caroline's Voice

Ouch! Her singing makes my ears hurt.

New Entry

I just got a flip camera ... so I should be posting alot more movies now. But here is a test. I thought I would show you what our new entrance to the house looks like... it took them almost 6 weeks to tear out and put in new steps. We still need to add lights and we r doing our best to keep the landscape watered...but it has been hard during the drought and heat this summer. Hopefully in a year or so the landscape will fill in some more and look complete.

Busy Times @ Westdale this Summer



One day I'm going to say remember when ....
the farm road was so busy that there was actually a security guard 24/7 at the entrance managing all the traffic. (I think that they are just keeping a record of everyone in the area in case a well blows and this way they know how many lives were lost). It can take almost ten minutes to drive one mile to the house from the highway due to all the truck traffic. There is a tremendous amount of activity going on. 4 well sites with multiple wells being frac and 2 more rigs going up! Westdale has been forever changed to Gasland.

Dinner with Landry's

Gettin Jiggy in the Pool

July 4th @ Four Seasons










We took a long weekend trip to Dallas and had a great time (minus the crowd at the Dallas Aquarium). We enjoyed the resort to the max (spa, pool, fitness center and games for the kids) and even ventured over to the Fort Worth Museum (enjoyed by all with a ton of kids activities and exhibits focused on the cattle and oil industries). The resort put on a fabulous Fourth of July party. There was live music, ice cream stations, tons of slides and jumpies, and a great fireworks show.

Jake & Striker



JoJo has two puppies that the kids adore. These dogs won't be small for long.

Joe Dill's 60th Birthday Party





We threw Joe a grand surprise party! We all had a blast. I only got to take one picture from the party (Beverly took 1000+ so I'm not worried) because I was dancing with old men and chatting it up with family and friends.

Party Dress


Caroline loves her party dress!

Cannon Ball!

Lots of fun on Memorial Day. Swimmin and Grillin with the Family. Uncle Kyle entertained us all with tricks on the diving board. It was a hoot!
