Dairy Cow Milking



Today Annabelle & I watched a dairy cow being milked and a presentation on dairy farming. Annabelle really enjoyed it and it explained where our milk comes from and what it is used for. The silly Farmer even tried to squirt us with milk! Annabelle said it was fun but she sure thought the cow was stinky!

Koozie Project


I've been working on some cute koozies lately to hold our cold drinks down here in hot, hot South Texas! Koozies can be fashionable!

Super Hero!




Annabelle decided she was going to dress like a super hero the other day. Here are some pics of her super hero get-up. Check out the green fuzzy hat! I love it! And she was "hiding" behind my curtains so I couldn't find her!

Backyard Friends



Tim & Mary brought us some seed to plant a "Royal Poinciana" tree. Justin & I planted them and put some of the pots on the patio, I also planted some basil and put it out on the patio (hoping it would be ready when the tomatoes I'm growing are ripe). We noticed the pots have been dug in each morning when we look out on the patio so last night I decided to check on the pots to see if I could find out who keeps disturbing them. I was really surprised to find a toad in the pot hunkered down. I scared him away and checked a few minutes later, he was in the next pot! It was so funny! I also found an extra large walking stick hanging out on the patio. We have some of the weirdest creatures down here!

Gramma & Grampa visit McAllen






Here are some pics from Gramma & Grampa Clark's visit over Memorial Weekend. Tim & Mary also visited us on Memorial Day.
