Purple Martins

Our Purple Martin house is full of baby birds! We enjoy watching these birds come in February to select their house and in March start building their nests. Soon we have a house full of baby birds chirping to be fed. We love watching how protective both parents are toward the babies. If we get to close to the nest they will dive close to our heads, even though the house is way above ground levl. These babies are feathered out and almost ready to fly!!

She can Cook!

Teysha is learning to cook! Of course we have to start with the best first! Peanut Butter Cookies with pecans, made from scratch!! They are delicious and of course we have to sample them every time we go into the kitchen!!

Roxi

Our crazy Roxi!! She loves water! This time she found the gravel from our aquarium and had to check it out!! Maybe she smells fish!

Soccer is over for the summer


Last game of the season played, try outs done! No more soccer until August when boot camp starts! Teysha will go to A&M soccer camp the end of July, plus conditioning camp every day at school for the next 6 weeks.

Nebas 90th

It is hard to believe that April 15, 2006, Neba celebrated her 90th birthday! The American State Bank let us use their beautiful meeting room for her party. Charlene, Kerri, and Brent made this celebration successful. We had an Italian Cream Cheesecake, beautiful roses (her favorite), plus appetizers and punch. So many of her friends and family attended it was an occasion that is a beautiful memory!

Jessie's Surprise Going Away Dinner!

Jessie is moving to Florida!We will miss her great attitude and determination! The team met at Z'Tejas for a going away surprise dinner! The girls gave Jessie some great going away gifts that she loved.


Wakeboarding Is Hard Work!


Wakeboarding!! Teysha used her money to buy not one but 2 wakeboards, to learn the sport. We loaded up the boat, picked up Julie and headed off to the lake! It was 107 degrees but the lake was like glass and very few people were there! Both of the girls tried and tried to master the art of wakeboarding but only managed to stay up for a few seconds. We have enlisted the help of some official wakeboarders so next week hopefully Teysah can stay upright and love wakeboarding!!

A Day at Schlitterbahn


Schlitterbahn was a blast! We decided not to go over the Memorial Day because of the crowds, so we went Tuesday and it was perfect.The girls spent the night so we could get an early start, but I don't think they went to bed until very late and slept the entire way to San Marcos. There were not thousands of people and we enjoyed our day! Teysha, Julie,Courtney, and Kelsey went and we spent the day playing in the Torrent River and Dragons Lair! We bought pizza to eat on the way home and all the girls crashed as soon as the last bite of pizza was eaten. A fun day but a bunch of tired people!
