Easter Bluebonnets


We spent our Easter afternoon out at one of the dams we cleared, we took ALL (4) of our dogs for a swim and our labs even posed for a nice photo amongst the flowers.

For the love of KUBOTA

James spent last Saturday (7th) putting the "shiny" on all our machines! We are a KUBOTA family!

10 weeks...

So most of you know by now, and if you don't... SURPRISE! James and I are THRILLED to announce we are expecting our first baby the end of October. Many thanks to all of you for your prayers and support! We are 10 weeks pregnant!

Rain, Rain

All this water is overflow from the last dam James cleared
(LEFT TO RIGHT) Chloe and Annie after being told to "load up" (go home), can't you see the disappointment in their eyes?! :)

So you get the picture...this is our rain gauge on Thur., after dumping it out Fri. morning with the forecast of more rain, Sat morning it measured the same! When you add the 2" we received on Tues. that is a WHOPPING total of 10" in 1 week! Saturday afternoon we packed up our, water loving, meat-heads and checked out some of the "active/full" dams we have recently cleared.

Mr. & Mrs. Shirley

Several weeks ago we ventured into far East Texas to attend the wedding of my good friend, Jennifer. May I introduce Mr. & Mrs. Shirley! :)

Celebrating a 1st




So, little Jaxson Hall celebrated his 1st birthday and I had the honor and privilege of making his birthday cake. **Note: this cake would NOT have turned out the way it did without the help and guidance of my dear friend and expert cake decorator, Mel!** :)

Dam Update

We have completed 2 of the 11 "dams to be cleared" and hope to begin on our 3rd (weather permitting) this weekend. Here is a look at some of the after shots:

This would be the dam that corresponds with the "booty shot" photo in the previous post


The first finished dam of '07 and the one I broke the tractor door on! Oops!! This picture is the match to the 3rd or bottom picture on the last post. No more trees!

Moir Dam Work

Saturday afternoon we spent surveying what will keep us busy in the upcoming months. Here is a quick glimpse of what's in store. *NOTE: these pictures are of 3 different dams*
This is part of the massive spillway @ this particular dam
I'm a little overwhelmed at the terrain on the backslope. James certainly has his work cut out for him on the front slope! Nice booty shot huh?

Lots of trees but not to bad, we spent the afternoon working on this dam today. Stay tuned for AFTER shots.

Critter update

Our potbelly pigs, Wilbur & Wilson
Another set of triplets arrived on the 19th, sadly only one made it!

Here are the triplets born on Jan 17th!

Halloween Fun

We had a wonderful time at the Henke's for Halloween. The party was complete with all kinds of festive goodies and a pumpkin carving contest.
James went as a paintball referee and I as a paintball player
James took the pumpkin carving contest a little to seriously; this was his creation
"HIPPIE CHIC"...Chloe enjoyed "biscuit begging" all day long at work with James
