Monkey See, Monkey Do

Day 213/Post 77

Well, I can dress them up but rarely take them out! :) Here's Daddy & one of HIS boys & he wonders where they get it?

Dr Pepper. Texas? Can that be?

Day 212/Post 76

We took a little detour on our way back home to Dublin. It's known as Dr. Pepper, Texas. It's home to the world's oldest Dr Pepper bottling plant. It was established in 1891.

It's also known for it's famous Dublin Dr Pepper. It still makes the Dr Pepper with Imperial Sugar not fructose syrup. Wow! Now, it can give a shot of energy. :)

Is that a rocking chair?

Day 211/Post 75

Well, we were driving along in West Texas & happened upon the world's largest cedar rocking chair. Yep, we had to turn around for this Kodak moment! That's the boys & I in the far left corner. Can you imagine - Paul Bunyun could be rocked here!

The Famous Pops!

Day 210/Post 74

We visited the coolest place - Pops! It's on the famous Route 66. Clay says he wants to live within 10 minutes of the place. The place is full of different soda bottles & has a little diner area too. It's so cool! If you ever get the chance to go - make a "pit stop". Just be ready to wait for your meal. :)

Arby Time?

Day 209/Post 73

Clay was such a hoot at Discovery Land! He asked us why they had Arby hats there? We laughed & explained they were the Discovery Land fans. He continued to make the joke - saying..."I'm thinking Arbys..." What a clown! :)

Hail to the Chief - oh, wait - that's dad!

Day 208/Post 72

Daddy was being spoiled by the boys with their fan waving. It was sooooo hot! We really felt for the singers and dancers there.

Tulsa Time

Day 207/Post 71

We headed over to Tulsa with Uncle Bob, Aunt Margie, Peggy, Wade, GG & our family to see the musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". It was extremely hot! Well, over 100 degrees & yes, it's an outdoor amphitheater. Peggy had taken me when I was in high school & I loved it. I wanted the boys to experience it too! I don't remember it being that hot though! Guess, your memory fades, huh? :) The kids loved it! In fact, it was #2 on their favorites this round.

Alabaster Caves

Day 204/Post 68

Well, we've not posted in a few days. We've been on vacation. This year we decided to visit some "different" type of locations. The next couple of days will be of our trip to the Alabaster Caverns near Freedom, Oklahoma.

Blue Bell Time

Day 190/Post 66

Here's another pic from our Blue Bell Trip. Cody couldn't wait for the ice cream & just look at that "rockin'" hair cut of Clay's! :)

We eat all we can & we sell the rest...

Day 189/Post 65

Well, summer is going by wayyyyy too fast! So, I thought it was time for one of "Mom's Famous Field Trips". Today we went to the Blue Bell Factory in Brenham. Each boy took a friend. So, Mom laid out the ground rules & off we went! The boys seemed to have a good time. Their favorite part ----- the ice cream samples, of course!

This picture is taken in front of one of the original ice cream delivery trucks. Wow! See how some things really change. :)

Father's Day

Day 175/Post 62

Well, Father's Day was a big success for Pat! He really loaded up while the "gang" waited.

Summer Time Chaffeur Service

Day 174/Post 61

Well, Clay has been going to camp during the daytime. So, Memaw & Mom have been the daily taxi service. Here's Clay off to another day...

Learning Movie Making

Day 173/Post 60


Well, I learned something new about video & taught the boys. We used some of our pics and incorporated them into a little short video. Here's the most recent practice that was done this past week. Hope you enjoy!

If you'd like to give it a try, it's very easy. We used animoto to create it. You can try it with a trial version. Go ahead, give it a try!

Who has more?

Day 101/Post 58

So, let's get counting - right? Who do you think has more eggs?

Well, here's another fun Easter picture. This picture is from the Egg Hunting party. The "bunny" got a little carried away with hiding them so high. :)

Easter 2008

Day 98/Post 55

Well, we didn't get the pictures off the camera until this week. Sorry! :( Well, the next few posts should help us catch up on the Easter 2008 update. Some of the pictures are from hunting Easter Eggs & some pictures will be of Easter Egg Decorating. This picture was of the egg decorating at GGs. Of course, we are smart & go to GGs for the messy part! :) Be watching for updates!

Count Down to Disney

Day 97/Post 54

Well, here's another historical Disney post. We can hardly stand it. We are looking forward to some wonderful memories on our upcoming Disney trip. This one is from Animal Kingdom. Look at the difference of them now to back then. Can you believe how much they have grown? Keep checking the blog. Hopefully, we will be able to upload pictures during the trip too.

How Big is Disney?

Day 94/Post 51

Have you ever wondered how big is Disney? Well, here's your chance. See those little people on the blocks? Now, this is from a few years back - 2002 to be exact. But, it's still big! Yep, those are the boys. Can you believe how big Disney can be?
