The last day and headed home!

Dawn came over to Sonora Monday morning to say good-bye! We both have a hard time leaving each other! We miss each other so much and always cry when we say good-bye. I had Fred take photos before the tears started flowing.

Wendy and Dawn July 9 2007

Trey, Dawn, Wendy, Dacey & Michael. It was so bright outside I suggested we try in the Hotel room and this is one of many photos Fred took of us. He did a great job!!

These are some fighters jets that were flying over San Antonio on our way home Monday. There are 3 or 4 airforce bases in San Antonio and I love watching the fighter jets fly, they're so sweet!! Friday on our way through San Antonio there were Cargo planes doing touch and goes and that was so cool! They are Huge but I didn't get photos, darn!!

This is one of the new clover leaf expressways they've recently put in in San Antonio. I think they are so neat and an engineering feat if you ask me!!

Dawn and Skeeter

These were photos I took Sunday! We were working on the House Skeeter and Dawn bought in El Dorado! Dawn had mentioned that they didn't have any family photos. So here is my attempt...

Dacey, Dawn, Skeeter and Trey!

Fred after working under the house all day!! Poor baby is tired and dirty!!

Trey with his Daddies hat on, he was such a little butterball!!

We arrived...

We arrived at the Hotel in Sonora and Dawn and I took the kids swimming while Fred and Skeeter went to get the poles and load our trailer. The kids had a blast in the pool and it was well worth the expense of getting a Hotel room with a pool! Michael and I went swimming every night when we got back to the room and I was so proud of him. He was doing great! Dacey stayed the night with us Saturday night and her and Michael had a blast swimming and playing!

Dawn and Trey in the pool. Trey loved the water!

We went and barbequed at Dawn and Skeeter's house Saturday. There were storms off in the distance. Then a rainbow showed up and the landlords sheep were up there too!

Here's a closer photo of the rainbow! I didn't see the bird flying until I got home and put the photo on the computer!

On our way...Friday July 6th

On our way (5 hour trip) to Sonora where we stayed and then 20 minutes away to El Dorado where Dawn lives...I was playing with the camera on the road and taking photos through the bug smeared windsheild, lol....Then I finally got Fred to stop so I could get Michael and Scarlett out for a walk at a rest stop...There were some beautiful flowers there too!!

My Sexy Husband

LOL take a good look at my Sexy Husband because as soon as he sees that I posted these photos on my blog I'm sure he's going to make me take them off....LMAO....While Pocka and Grandma were here Fred came out and this is what he had on...I just couldn't resist a few photos!! Snake boots, Dallas cowboy shorts and a T-shirt, ugh!! What a MAN!! Just makes you want to drool doesn't it, he he he...His white legs were so bright I was blinded!!

We took Pocka down to the culvert bridge that got washed out on the property to see what he thought we should do next time...He is the one that did such a beautiful job on the culvert bridge the first time...We are going to try the 15 foot diameter tank we have sitting there next time...It's large enough the water should flow through it and not tear everything up!! I loved this photo of the boys! My sexy husband in his snake boots, Michael in between telling them something and Pocka taking it all in stride!!

Visitors

To my surprise Grandma and Grandpocka came over this afternoon for a visit. They wanted to see Michael before we left for our weekend trip to help some friends on their house....Michael had to of course show is new tractor off to Pocka...and then I got some photos of the eggs in the Wren's nest...yes they're back and there are 5 eggs so she should start setting soon....

Sparklers on the 4th of July

Victoria canceled their fireworks display this evening due to flooding and sogging ground conditions....bummer!! So no large firework displays...but I told Fred he could spend $20 on fireworks and we had our own little display, basically for Michael.

Above is one of the ground fireworks...I missed all the large ones that Fred had bought, lol...he only had four and it was very difficult with the tripod and camera timer to get photos of them!

Michael with sparkler, and yes he is in his underware and rubber boots, lol...Little country boy!

If you look closely at the photo above Michael is silouetted to the left of the sparkler!



That's it Folks our own little fireworks ~ sparkler show!! Michael had a blast and that is what matters!

Happy 4th of July and Independence Day!!
