Michael posing in the Wildflowers....

We had to go over to my in-laws ranch Sunday to help move cows.


The wildflowers were absolutely gorgeous in the ditch near the ranch and I managed to get Michael to pose for me...well kind of sort of...





This is Michael! Cheesy grin and all this is our Boy!

This is Michael in March 2004 sitting for his first wildflower photo shoot...
I had to put this up to compare to this years, lol....7 months old and already ignoring Momma!!


Five years old and Squinty eyed...

Oh sheesh, now I get the tongue!!
That is what I get for asking Michael to pose...lol...our silly boy!

But he didn't have a problem picking wildflowers and giving them to Grammy!!

~Happy Birthday Grammy~ He can be a sweet-heart!


As we were leaving I saw this little Inca dove sitting on the bird bath, they're such sweet little birds and I loved this photo!





A few flowers from the yard...

I took these photos last Friday while I was walking around the yard...
I thought they were pretty enough to share!


Sunflower
Texas Dandelion


Plumbago


Herbertia (Iris Family)
It's been frustrating for me lately as the wind just won't stop! When it's windy out it's impossible to get a decent photo of the flowers that are popping up all over!

Hmmm? Surprise Birthday Party for MOM?



He's the MAN and he can't lie to his wife either!!




Here's the rest of the story...last Monday my dear sweet Husband (snort*snort) told me they were having a Surprise Birthday Party for his Mom...Her Birthday is right next to mine, Yea!! But my Husband has a problem, he can't lie to me!! And he honestly didn't...But when I told him Michael and I had plans and I was going to book a hotel room for Friday night at the beach and Michael and I were going, the dear sweet husband threw a fit!!


Hmmm something smells fishy here...I told him that Michael and I would spend Sunday with Grammy Criste, which is her true birthday and I doubt she would have a fit about us missing the party...as she knows my Birthday is/was Saturday and I like to go and do things...So when Fred threw a fit and got all huffy I knew something was up...I even tried to get Helen to tell me what was going on, but she never broke, lol...you are a good girl Helen!!
Me and Helen...She never broke!!



Finally to make peace I told Fred that Michael and I would not go to the beach Friday night, sigh!! Come Friday evening I was ready and NOT too happy...Michael was ready but Fred was dinking around, sigh!! I told him Michael and I were hungry so lets go...we can get there early and order drinks and an appetizer...Well Fred began to argue with me that we were suppose to be there right at 6:30...no earlier...hmmm?

Okay I now know that they are having this party/dinner for Criste and me to celebrate our birthdays...I asked him out-right are y'all having a Party for me and your Mother...he can't lie...he got a big HUGE shit-eating grin and turned away from me...So the truth is out...LOL...I then preceded to call Helen as we were leaving the house...since I knew what was up I wanted to see if she was still going to play the part of clueless? She did, lol...and her, Matt and Ashley were a bit late and got there right when we did, ha ha ha...Games up!! It's the thought that counts and I so appreciate what everyone did for me and Criste, we had a great time and a great birthday celebration with Family and Friends!!




The Party is on and we have taken over the room!!


The Cake...it's so cute! Thank you Diana you did a GREAT job!



Birthday Girls celebrating!!
(On a seperate note those are not our drinks everyone threw their empties in front of us!! LOL)
Okay so I admit the Margarita Criste is holding is mine...How she got my Margartia I don't have a clue!!


Mariachi's


Okay we don't know who this WOMAN is, she crashed the Party!!
...but she sure is having a Good time!!
Okay Okay...I'll admit we do know her but we try not to admit it!! Thanks Angie for the laughs, you are just too funny!!

Thank you Everyone....I had a really GREAT time and so enjoyed celebrating with everyone!!
~ Hugs and Love ~
