Taking a ride

September 13th we had an unwelcome visitor by the name of Ike blow through. Fortunately for us the damage was minimal, but for so many others it was much worse. Families have lost their homes, businesses and for some their lives.

We had some trees fall, shingles and siding blown off and lots of yard work. We were also without power for 8 days, but now things are up and running and getting back to "normal."

Crazy Picture Friday

While I was busy getting ready to run my weekly Friday errands, Tiana decided to accessorize her look for the day. I thought it was just too cute not to share. :)

Inside Picnic

On Tuesday a tropical storm hit close to Galveston. It rained just about all day. I decided it was a good day for a picnic indoors. I tried to wait for Tiffany and Heather to join us, but they both slept past noon. Tiana and Connor seem to really enjoy it though.

Tiff's ride :)

"HEAR" she comes ;)
Driving up the driveway for the first time
Looking cool ;)

Yesterday Tiffany became the proud owner of her first car. You could hear the bump in the radio as she drove down our road. It makes me so nervous to have another teenage driver.

First time in the rain
I think this rock is pretty

We have had some tropical type rain showers come through from the hurricane that hit Brownsville yesterday. Tiana and Connor were outside playing in the sandbox when one came up. Since there was not any thunder or lightening, I just sat back and watched their reaction then ran and got my camera. They were a little stunned at first because it was raining kinda hard, but soon they were enjoying themselves. Don't let the expression on Connor's face fool you, he had a good time playing in the rain, I just never could get a pic of him smiling. :)

Update

They are coming

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Life is busy, busy. Since my last post Tiffany has turned sweet 16, got a puppy, and will soon be getting a car. Chris had his 47th birthday, Christopher has moved to the beach aka Tiki Paradise with my brother. My niece and her baby have moved in and Tiana and Connor are keeping me on my toes. Whew!!! I need a vacation. :)Here are some pics from the last month. Hope you enjoy!!
