A Couple of Fresh Tatoos...

They grow up so fast...

Seco Ranch

This weekend our Girl Scout troop was invited to "camp" at the family ranch belonging to one of our scouts. It is a 6,000 acre ranch that has been in the family for generations. It is 45 minutes from anything... I have never seen so many stars. There is a beautiful new house on the ranch but they restored and saved all kinds of old tables, furniture, pottery etc. It was a really amazing place. I think I could have left AJ there forever. She now wants to be a rancher when she grows up. Here's a little movie:

(Some of the photos are very blurry because I stole them from my friend's snapfish album, and I couldn't figure out how to download them full size, but you'll get the idea. I've since figured it out, but I'm not about to redo my video–it's too late, I'm turning into a pumpkin)

Watch...if you dare!!!

SOOO cool!

Okay, I know I've posted on this before, but you've just got to see this one. It was so cool. We had a big downpour and after it passes we noticed our backyard was full of huge blue dragonflies. But the cool part was that the rain had disturbed some kind of huge flying ant nest, and they were all flying away, and the dragonflies were just picking them off. It was so cool because we could see them grabbing the ants right out of the air. Very cool.

the anti-GQ guy

Well we will never have to worry about Jack being a suit model. He was SO upset that he had to wear this suit. He wined about it the WHOLE wedding. I finally took off his tie and unbuttoned his collar, which helped a little, but he was beside himself. It takes a lot to get this kid worked up, he's got Brett's easy going personality, but oh boy–you do not mess with comfort (he get's that from his mama!)

I'm back!

It was a crazy two weeks! Check it out:
