Sunday evening post.

aStarting to get a back-log of photos I intended to share on here, so here is a plethora of pics!

The racing Colemans' were in town, so Liam went to the track to show them how things are done. He love's being around all the noise and all that goes with being at the track. Especially the tunnel at the entrance that goes underneath part of the front straight. He actually recognized the exit on the highway and got excited yelling "tunnel, tunnel...."

All bizness...

He's got a big-blockhead with twin 12's, whutchoogot?

I'll show you sissies how to drive this thing! Gimmie the dang keys.

Just kidding, please take me out of this thing!

With the warm weather coming, I figured a fun project would be to plant some crappy seeds we found in the dollar section at target. The "baby flowers" as Liam called them were scattered into our little flower bed by the front stoop. If they don't sprout I want my money back.

Shovel is fun!

Liam found a flippin' sweet rock along with several bottle caps, cigarette butts, and a sea shell. SCORE!

Hope all's well!

Sunshine, sunshine, and more sunshine!!

After a few weeks of some indoor weather, we have been hammered with warmish, sunny days. What is the best this to do when gifted with this kind of weather? PARK!!!!!! Here are a few pics from some of our excursions:

"HEY DUCK,...

....you're kinda funny!"

Ducks love moldy bread for some reason. I think I read on the internet the mold actually helps them to breath better under water. Not sure if I believe it, but it was on the internet.

Shootin' some hoops!

Dunkin' on Daddy...

"Mah ball!"

Nice day for the park

The weather has been giving us about one day every 4 that is nice enough to go to our favorite local park and turn the boy loose. Being inside for days straight allows his energy levels to build exponentially. I can usually predict the weather patterns by assessing the level of destruction in our home at the end of my day. When we have reached what I'll call "Level Holy &$!@", you can pretty much guarantee pleasant weather is just around the bend.

We are fortunate to live in an area where nice parks are plentiful, so sometimes it's a tough decision as to which one to go to , but regardless of our choice Liam always makes the best of it.

It is tough to photograph lightning, but sometimes you get a gem..

Hope everyone is well!

Snow!

It has been a while, so with a dusting of snow I figured this would be a good opportunity to post a few new photos of our boy. We only spent a few minutes playing since it was 20 degrees and we south Texans are pretty thin skinned when it comes to cold weather.

Daddy knocking snow off the rickety old play set

He really got a kick out of back yard's new look, and sprinted to .

The cold was not so fun though.

We managed to get a pose of him on the stoop.

Liam is a typical almost-2-year-old. Everything is an adventure, and no obstacle is insurmountable. He is overflowing with energy, and has electron-fast hands. His vocabulary is growing rapidly. He is rugged man of the outdoors, but maintains a soft hand for the ladies.

Hope all is well!

Ring Day

Yesterday I finally got my Aggie ring. It's been a long and memorable road, and it's coming to a bitter sweet end.

It was an honor to have my parents there with us when a couple of sharp dressed former students presented us with my ring, but the real honor was when Dad presented it to me. Our family has been a huge part of this journey and we can't thank all of you enough for your love, support and blessings.

Waiting our turn

This was a moment we will never forget.

Houston Zoo

Saturday we met Meme, Pappy and Kara at the Houston zoo. The weather was amazing, and the crowds were thick. It's so nice having Meme and Pappy so close by.

We started our tour through the traveling robotic dinosaur exhibit. It wasn't such a big hit, and Liam was slightly frightened by them.

Can't imagine why....

The petting zoo was lots of fun. Plenty of l scruffy little goats to pet.

and a little room to run around

The prairie dog exhibit was really interesting for some reason.

Guess it was the rare breed they had...

At the zebra house

Momma and Liam taking a break

The elephants were a big hit. They really caught his attention.

We liked this guys sweet 'stache.

These fellas are always a hit

We had a great day with the grandparents and Kara. We came home with a few new animal impersonations and some really good memories. He was completely worn out by the time we got back home.

Thanks for the great visit, Meme and Pappy!
