Caitlin's Birthday

Caitlin's request for her birthday meal was Ribs and Key Lime Pie...

We'll start at the end first...yes...that's my dad, fast asleep on the swing and yes, both my sister and I have these pics for blackmail should the need arise!!  Sorry Dad!! 

I also have a not so becoming picture of my sister and my mother checking out each other's teeth...it's super funny!!  My mom made beans and my sister made potato salad, we had homemade fries and stuffed jalepeno's too...now you're beginning to understand the first pic I bet!  We all ate WAY TO MUCH!!!

Well...here she is...my priss-pot of a niece, that threw down on these ribs! This girl can eat bar-b-q like you can't imagine!  But she looks good doing it!!!

And the final shot...notice the HOT PINK nails!!!  True Southern Belle I'd say!!

Zilker Park.

Our visit to Zilker Botanical Garden

This is in the Hartman Prehistoric area...apparently a few years ago, this dinosaur actually strolled through this part of Texas and someone found his tracks...so here he is for all of us to enjoy.  

Oh...so handsome!!!

Koi fish, known to Tyler as Opa fish...but make NO mistake...there is only 1 true Opa in the pond!  Whew...did I hear an earful when I thought I had spotted the opa and it was NOT him!!!

What can I say...I had to get this pic, but the poor kid must have sneezed a dozen times afterwards! Oh well, it's super cute!!

And this one...almost makes me cry b/c he looks like a big boy on a field trip for school or something.  

Wow...crazy April and it's not done yet!!

Trip to Gigi's...early April!!!

My grandmother always made my grandfather and I sugar syrup to go with my biscuits when I would visit and she still does!  Believe it or not there is something more sweet that plain syrup...don't tell your kiddos!

This is it...like crack for your sweet tooth!! 

 Tyler spent most of the day by the front door looking for "LADY" or outside chasing Lady with this tractor...she is my grandmother's dog that up until this trip my grandmother was seriously considering taking back to the pound b/c she tears up her yard everyday, but since Tyler fell in love with her, I think she's been spared...for a little while at least!

Of course...had to have a picture with 2 of his favorite ladies...no pun intended :) 

URG...Technology

Well, after doing battle with my last blog address for what seemed like forever...I GAVE UP, so here we are at a new one!

Sorry it took me so long, a few random pics to enjoy!

Tyler and Jackie during intermission for Bob the Builder at the Long Center.  They are two GOOD LOOKIN toddlers!  I think Jackie's mom and I are in for a treat when they get older...ladies stay away!!!

Tyler has quickly adopted Mike's 12 year old black lab 

Katie, in fact she sleeps with him every night!!

He's quite the bike rider...

Mike and Tyler were looking for airplanes and guessing where they were going this night...most planes seem to go to Marble Falls Airport! hee hee!!
