Albuquerque



We hit the road and headed

to see KC's family for the weekend.

 

The weather was stormy

and we drove through the

most amazing lightening storm.

 

My Snookem made me a

breakfast waffle.  I love him!



These boys are ready for summer

and to get our pool up!

 

They swam for hours!

Saturday after a lunch for KC's sister

we thought we would check out

the horse races.  We have only

been to a few races and are no experts

on this stuff.  We gave each of the

boys ten bucks to place on the

horses of their choice.

Rylee was the big winner!

He would pick his horse and

win almost every single time.

I think he only lost one race.

 

It takes great discussion and

concentration to pick the perfect horse.

Rylee liked going with KC to

place the bets.

Sunday we woke up early

and headed to the Albuquerque Zoo.

It's one of our favorite things to do

when we visit.

The peacocks were feisty little things!

This one had his feathers out almost the

whole time we were eating lunch.

KC started feeding them popcorn

and they would eat right out

of your hand.

 

The tiger was showing off for

us.  He was very friendly.

Through the glass anyway.

Cousins!

Kade and Cody did a little

Zip Lining.  They loved it!



After the zoo we went to Bela's

ballet recital.  It was so cute!

We stopped on the way home to take

a few pictures with the gorgeous sunset.

 

I love my boys!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hand made cards and little gifts

from my baby.  I will never get

tired of these.

Pretties for Mother's Day!

KC worked hard this weekend

on our bathroom re do.

It's coming along.  I cant wait to

get it done and see it all finished!

Gift #2 from my baby for

Mother's Day was a ride in the razor.

He has been dying to take me

and he said today was the perfect day!

 

He's such a good driver!

I trust him completely!

Dad tagged along with us on

his 4 wheeler.

Just a low key sitting on the porch

afternoon noon with my little Ry.

That's more his style.

 



Sushi Salad and turtle cheesecake

for my Mother's Day dinner!

 

Happy Mother's Day!

It's The Weekend!

I got a call from this sweet

boy with some garden questions.

  His sweet little

voice just makes you smile.

 

Back in February when I asked

him what he wanted for his birthday

he said he wanted stuff to make

his own garden.  I asked him

what he wanted to plant and he

said Radishes!  So I got him

all the goodies to start his

own little garden. 

 

Now it's a few months later

and my sister sent me these pics.

Here he is holding his very first radish!

 

Maybe he got his green thumb

from his Aunt Kish.  Or maybe

he can teach me some pointers.

My stuff isn't growing near as good

as his.  It must be that South Texas weather.

 

 

I also got pictures of this beautiful girl

ready to see her Minnie Mouse at

Disney On Ice.  She will be my Disney

loving girl just like her Aunt Kish.

I think it's time for a Nettles Cherne

Disney World trip!



Friday I picked up Ry early from

school.  The weather was rainy and

cool and it was just his thing.  So we

picked up Chinese food and went home

to snuggle up and watch some movies.

 

Just don't tell Kade or Cody.

It's a secret!

The grouchy neighbor across the alley

has honeysuckle growing through

his fence.  I took the trash out and it

smelt so good!  Honeysuckle

reminds me of growing up.

My grandmother had it and we had

it at the house I grew up in.

I love the smell!

A working Saturday selfie 

from my Snookem.



The steam coming off of the fence

and trampoline after the rain.

I thought that was really neat.

 

We had lake cleanup for Scouts but

it rained so much that they

canceled it.  I didn't check my

email before we left though.

We were already there

so we did a lap and picked up trash

that was close to the sidewalk.

 



 

Some of the fields were so flooded

that the ducks were swimming

there instead of the lake!
