I took these pixs on my iphone, when my grandson got his first haircut. Not the best quality….but the expressions on his face are priceless.
Before the haircut

During: Can’t you tell he is just loving it! She put him in a little car…gave him tools to play with. What more could you ask for, when you get a hair cut?

Afterwards, Isn’t he the cutest little boy, with his first haircut. And then he cried….when he had to get out of his little car chair….there was another little boy, fixing to get his first cut.

And as you can see in the background is mommy….and I with our cameras, documenting the moment is time. Mason’s First Hair Cut!

We enjoyed some visitors to our ranch the other day from Calif. and Wis. I believe, they got to see a little action in Central Texas. Between snakes, wild hogs, crazy dogs, and cowboys hats, we all had a blast!
Can you pick out the real Texan?


Ride them Cowboy Mark!

T-Bone tells them HOWDY!

The Sweethearts give them a Texas size tour of the fair grounds. Only problem the Ladies didn’t have enough time to shop in the Exhibit Bldg.


Fun with Cowboy hats. They had to try out Mackie’s Mexican Cowboy hat! And Mark practiced his Howdy and tipping his hat at the ladies!
I can’t believe I have as big a head as Mackie! -Tom- 
It’s more than a little big! -Mark-
They even got to see Crawford and met President Bush, and eat at one of his favorite places.

And ya’ll come back any time…..and maybe you’ll understand why we all say HOWDY now!

Just a few pictures from the HOT fair time……
Enjoying the parade




Mason wasn’t sure about getting down and watching the parade…he’d much rather be held!

….And the best part was digging in the bucket of candy, after Autumn and mommy & daddy picked it up!



Next we head out to the fair grounds….




And now Autumn has to go ride the horses (aka pony rides)
How often do I get a real smile? She loved the pony ride!

Mason wasn’t that sure about it!


Next we had to go to the petting zoo

Again Mason wanted to check it out from a distance……Autumn loved the baby goat!

Well, guess I need to clarify this title a little. I didn’t find this is my real back yard….but the back, back pasture (that is the place we lease behind our place)! But that’s close enough. It was kinda strange looking. How did this cow head get in this tree, and how long had it been there. Made you wonder what happened long time ago………

This time we headed to the San Antonio Zoo. It turned out to be quite a warm day, not as cool as we hoped for. In fact, Autumn could not stand to be sweating…and she was ready to go, before we even finished!
But all, in all we had a fun day, and saw lots of animals.

We celebrated Valerie’s & Lexi’s Birthday together this year at the house, with a old fashion supper of Roast Beef, Mashed potatoes, and the fixings.
