Blue Bell Time

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. :)

Breakfast Time

Day 177/Post 64

Meal time is a big deal around this place! We always must have specific breakfast foods around like pancakes. :) Here you can see breakfast at the Strike place! Of course no summer breakfast would be complete without the breakfast meal of choice - Reeses! Oh, no! Will Mom see this picture?

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!
