Weekly Winners – November 2 – 9

I’ve been meaning to take this picture for awhile now, but it just keeps getting better and better. I finally took it yesterday, but since, the price has gone down a few cents, yet again. In September, it cost me $60 to fill my car. Yesterday, it took $25. Enjoy it while we can, folks. I picked up Sweet Pea yesterday morning and we took her out to see her...

PDD as a Fairy Princess on Halloween: That shot just scares the bejesus out of me. Granted, it’s a bit much in the makeup department (on purpose), but Lord have mercy…when she gets it in her head that she needs to wear makeup, I’m sunk. However, at 9, she’s quite the cute fairy princess, isn’t she? The dress is courtesy of Baby Sis,...

Sweet Pea is here for another weekend at Grandma’s, and it appears Callie has joined the Sweet Pea Fan Club. Callie has spent all the previous Sweet Pea visits eyeing the bundle of predominantly pink, trying to determine if this new creature is friend or foe. Apparently, friend is the conclusion, as Sweet Pea is yet another creature willing to pet and rub...

All pictures are clickable for a larger view. “Live at the Improv” (where the improv is bathtime in Grandma’s kitchen sink instead of the bathtub) Oldest Son was jealous of all the time his daughter spent in my lap Friday evening. So, after she went to sleep, he wanted his turn. Not to be outdone, Second Son had to have his turn, too. And of...

Ok, so not a real active week for my camera, this week. I did take several pictures at Second Son’s intra-team scrimmage yesterday afternoon, but I’ll spare you all of them (ONLY because you’ll likely be seeing so much of his football team over the coming weeks, I don’t want to wear you out early) except for this one that stood out to me...

Two babies, tuckered out. Childhood friends, seeing each other in a new light. (My BFF’s daughter, like a Second Daughter to me, and Oldest Son. BFF and I are laughing because we used to wonder if we’d end up related one day, as close as they were back then. It’s been a rather eventful two weeks around here. More on that later.) Back at...

Me and mine (from left to right: PDD, Second Son, Oldest Son) taken at my parents’ house yesterday afternoon. (I never pass up an opportunity to get impromptu family pics of my brood. Already, it’s getting difficult to get them all together in one spot.) My younger sister and her family – in Oklahoma on vacation this week (they live in...

It never ceases to amaze me how silly teenagers can be. Second Son and his friends had been outside running around in the rain. When they came in, they decided to rinse the grass off their feet in the bathtub and since they were all wet already, they just had a...

Weekly Winners #5: Still Dealing with Ice Storm Aftermath

Silhouette of what once was a huge pecan tree, decimated by ice and wind. Prima Donna Daughter hugging another broken pecan tree. She said it must have hurt when the branches broke like that. Notice how one of the limbs came down with such force it punctured the earth and is stuck there without any support. Freaky what Mother Nature and the laws of physics can do...

Weekly Winners #4: Callie and Afro

Meet our cat, Callie. She is my constant companion. Wither I goest…for real. When I’m not around, she’ll make do with someone else, but if I’m home, she’s always within 3 feet of me at all times. Yes, that means she often follows me to the bathroom. She waits for me while I’m in the shower. She comes galloping to greet me when I...
