This weekend!

This weekend was great. I wish everyone could have been there, but I understand. I dropped Mason and Brandon off in College Station and headed to Austin. Dawn, Jay, Libby and the kids picked me up Saturday morning. I was told later that Jay made a "rude" remark about a very large black woman in house shoes being me! Thankfully, the kids defended me.

We had a great time at the Country Living Fair. Libby made a lot of good contacts and we saw some neat things. Most was way out of our price range, but we got a few really good ideas. The girls went to the mall afterward and the boys went swimming. We all met back up for supper. I took a couple of pictures of the girls at the fair.

Don't you just love their pre-teen attitude! It is so funny when it is not yours doing it!

I then went back to College Station on Sunday and watched Mason at camp a little. He seemed to have had a really good time. There is a contest in July that I hope they go to. They also said that there would be another camp in the Fall that will be on techniques. I am excited for them. So is Mason can't you tell ....



Yes - he made sure to wear Texas Tech shirts all weekend. You have to love him.

Aspen and Cotton spent the weekend with their Pa. They really enjoyed it and he loved that they were there to spend time with him and most of all cook for him! I am so grateful that they all enjoy each other.

Well here is the latest. Let me know what you are doing.
Love ya,
Shana

Ta Da!

Well, here it is. The "family" blog. You ask for and you got it. Now I do expect you all to contribute to it. I have invited Dawn, Bette and Julie to be authors. So basically the three of us and the only other one I thought would want to contribute. If the other children decide they want to be part I will add them as well. You can add post, pictures comments, ... It is ours and we can do whatever we want. I have not "decorated" it. I will try to get to it, or if one of you want to feel free. I hope this works as well as we wanted. I can't wait to add what I want and not worry about it being "good". So there you go. Love you all!
