Dutch Mountain - Llano, Texas




Dutch Mountain





We took a little break near Llano, Texas for a little relaxing, hiking, shooting, fishing, and biking. The lodge we stayed at was on around 1600 acres of gorgeous Hill Country. We found a cave that was a little spooky ... we went in and found a pile of bones and two fresh paw prints about the size of Caleb's hand. Needless to say, we vacated that cave quickly. We searched for arrowheads in the creek and saw many deer. Truly, it was beautiful and fun. Kind of a "guys" trip but Kate and I enjoyed it, too!!
to my sweet boys even if they do like to shoot a gun ...

Snow Much Fun






It's not often you get to play in the snow in Texas.
It is really not often that you get to play in the kind of snow that is perfect for snowman-building, snowball-throwing, and snowangel-making in Texas.
We are having a blast! Last night the neighborhood our kids loved having the entire block to run and play and build forts and throw snowballs until many hours past bedtime! No cars, just laughter. In the dark! A kid's dream. Then, to wake up to 6-7 more inches! We have had "wars" with several neighbors ... one drove by in a truck and a load of kids popped up when they reached our house to ambush! Payback was great fun on that one. One neighbor has the endless huge pot of hot chocolate going for kids and adults right in her garage! I feel like a kid in a candy shop watching my kids play for hours and hours laughing, running, throwing, sliding, building, yelling, etc. Snow much fun!!!

Let it snow! Let it Snow!! Let it snow!!!

2010 is Here!

We are loving basketball season. Both boys are playing and having fun and making some points! Snapping a good shot has eluded me so here is my attempt ...
Caleb (in blue) plays awesome defense!
Josh hustles!!
Kate's new best friend/sister is a life-sized Barbie. Here names are "Kelly", "Tia", and "Calia". It depends upon the day. She eats with us, wears Kate's clothes, buckles into the car and often scares someone when they walk into a room and she is sitting there. I fully expect her to be in next year's Christmas card. A new member of the family. I just realized she is showing her undergarments in this pic. We are just thankful she has permanent undergarments!
to 2010 ...
