a photographic essay of a pink magnolia and what happens to someone taking a photographic essay of a pink magnolia...

this is what happens when you try to take pictures in my backyard....

"i'm not sure what you're talking about - i've never tried to lick mama's face and ears while she was taking pictures - maybe it was that girl dog or something"

cleburne state park

once again we were off on an adventure this last weekend

we spent some VERY cold days camping at cleburne state park -

despite the cold - and 35 mile-an-hour-winds!!!

we had a fun time we should have known something was "irregular" when we first arrived at 10pm and were BOMBARDED by 5 little boys on bicycles wearing flashlights on their heads

demanding to know what "tribe" we were in....

come morning we discovered that we were the only

non-indian guide family in the park!!!!

the boys had a blast with their new found friends....

daddy was "kicked out" of the hammock so he had to find other ways to "kick-back" and relax

there were these crazy beautiful trees all over the park

as you can see they were perfect for climbing!

we usually do quiet a bit of bike riding but j.man was feeling a little "under-the-weather"

so we managed just one little foray into the wilds

to visit the playground

as with all adventure seekers - one must know when to stop and take a break...

on our way home we stopped at a historic marker

that retold the history of the

chisholm trail and how the area had part of the trail going through it

well - g.money looks ready to go - so until next time...

...happy trails!

sleeping babies

false spring

spring is my favorite time of the year!!!

i know that ol' groundhog called for 6 more weeks of winter

but apparently my back yard is not aware of that

happy valentine's day

"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us"

Romans 5:8

Ft. Worth Stockshow and Rodeo

this weekend we went to the ft worth stockshow the boys had a great time

we locked them in a horse trailer - i personally think this is the best way to travel long distance with children!!!
they "drove" all the tractors...

we rode all the rides...

we fed the babies in the petting zoo...

a fun time had by all...

Happy Groundhog's Day!!!
