Grilling Lesson

Lucas, who had just finished painting more of the house exterior (thus the painting clothes), wanted to start teaching Brent how to grill. 

Lesson 1: hot dogs :)

They turned out pretty tasty!

Sweet Summertime

Playing down by the creek.

Clara enjoying her new skateboard.

Finishing out some riding lessons. 

Some community pools are open here, and we've been able to swim with friends. 

Bring on summer! :)

Texan Birthday

I'm trying to embrace Texas more, and my neighbor recently gave me a Prickly Pear cactus, so...

I picked a "cactus" themed birthday for myself this year. Just kinda fun. :-)

Lucas got me a Texan oil pump lantern, and a metal armadillo. I love 'em!

Springtime Playing Outside

Oh the potential dangers of childhood! :) 

So far, no injuries from this bike-and-scooter train. 

And the rat snake (2 houses down from us) was dead. 

Singing in the rain.

And talking over the backyard wall to the neighbor girl.
