Lammes Chocolates

2012-01-29T17:20:00.000-06:00

These were such yummy chocolate covered strawberries from Austin....they were huge, and also come in dark chocolate, which is my favorite!! I will be planning a stop-over to pick some up sometime in the future!!!

Valentine's Day Symphony

2012-01-29T07:40:00.000-06:00

We are headed to the symphony again, this time to celebrate Valentine's Day!! Brandon says this guy is awesome!! Can't wait!!

So true....

Table decor

From the holidays to something I can use every day......

Slow down time....

2011-12-30T13:00:00.001-06:00

I got a lump in my throat when I looked at this picture, realizing that the time will go so fast, we will blink and they will be driving away heading to college.... :(

The new sign at our house.....

AND WE DID WIN!!! WOOHOO!!!

More....

2011-12-29T22:43:00.004-06:00

Jonathan painted me a big ole coffee mug for my birthday at Practically Picasso.....his mom said next time she won't let him choose black as one of his colors....but I still LOVE IT!!!

I got this hand-crank-generated power vehicle from Woot for Greg, figured it would be something he could use in his science class....he and Jonathan put it together, Jonathan insists that the instructions be read which is probably a good thing.....IT WORKS!!!

Gifts

2011-12-29T22:28:00.001-06:00

Got a new holster for my gun.....guess who it came from....... :)

And a new knife and cutting board from the Dieterich families....and Greg got an awesome new Dewalt cordless drill!!! He has already used it so couldn't get a picture without going to the garage....thanks guys, we love them!!

Merry Christmas Mr. Kelly.....

2011-12-23T23:50:00.002-06:00

I was anxious to get home on Wednesday to see the interesting gifts that Greg always gets from his students. This first one was a vanilla type cake that kinda tasted like a cake donut, with glaze, and blue icing with red sprinkles......on a stick.....

These looked sort of like brownies with white icing and red sprinkles......Greg is a chicken and won't eat any of them....doesn't bother me.....

A co-worker gave him a photo of all of his fellow partners in crime......

But my favorite by far was this.....and it is self explanatory.....I LOVED IT!!!

He also got coffee mugs/hot chocolate mix, a tie, pencils, candy, etc. but the "jingle bell rock" was by far the best!!!

Bottle Tree

2011-12-17T15:48:00.001-06:00

Back during the late summer, my bottle tree fell and all but about 7 of my bottles broke. Not only was I disappointed because they were broken, but what a mess in the yard!! I picked up as many large pieces as I could and then used the shop vac to suck up any small pieces of glass (thankfully it was during the drought and the grass was dead, making it fairly easy to see most of the pieces). Greg did some modifications on the tree, and set it in concrete.....it isn't going anywhere now!! Then my quest was to get it filled with various bottles again. I called on a friend down the street and she provided quite a few, especially the large blue bottles that are on the top. I began searching for a red wine bottle and finally found one at HEB. Darn, I had to drink the wine to be able to empty the bottle to put it on the tree!! Wasn't really good wine but wasn't bad either, and at least I got my red bottle!!

Love it!!

2011-12-15T08:00:00.002-06:00

Merry Christmas to us....from us!!

2011-12-14T01:00:00.000-06:00

Cute, huh? Papa will have to set a post out by the road.....

Gingerbread House

2011-12-12T20:25:00.002-06:00

Charley visited in Robinson this past weekend so she and Jonathan, and Jonathan's mom, built me a gingerbread house.

Poor little Kaylee.....all that decorating put her to sleep.......

It's a Grandson!!

I was able to get some tickets to the Baylor/Iowa State game on Saturday night. It was really a nice night.....clouds and windy......we even rode the motorcycle to the game.....
I was also trying out my new lens for the first time....someone took the other zoom lens swimming last summer....

The Baylor band takes the field.....brought back memories of watching Jeremy....

Ahhhhhhhh.......Sic 'em Bears!!!

It is great living in a college town......and for the football team to win!!!

GO BEARS!!!

Hi, my name is Paula...and I am addicted to Craigslist...

2011-09-30T00:02:00.002-05:00

I have gotten so many toys/bikes/clothes from Craigslist for the grandkids. I really got a good deal today, 15 onsies, 5 long rompers, 12 pjs, sizes 12m to 18m.....for $18!!! All Carters and Gerber brands!! And with three new granddaughters, surely one of them will be able to wear them!!! They have been washed, folded, and are ready to go!!!

Birthdays....

2011-09-18T17:37:00.002-05:00

Camdyn Grace Kelly made her appearance this morning, weighing 7 lbs 9 oz, changing everyone's best laid plans for her to be born this Wednesday. Babies just have a way of getting here when they want to.....all is well, we will head out to see her later this evening and get some pictures.

And Camdyn made her appearance on my dad's birthday. I tried to have Brandon on my dad's birthday but it didn't work. Well, I take that back. The castor oil DID work, but it didn't cause Brandon to be born. He came on his own the next week!!! Happy Birthday, Daddy....love and miss you!!!

McGregor Founder's Day

2011-09-17T23:00:00.000-05:00

Someone posted on Facebook that they were at the Founder's Day celebration so we decided to head out and see what was going on. Most things were closed up since we went late in the day, a couple of stages had bands playing, but we did have some awesome chicken fried steak at the restaurant in McGregor.
While we were eating, Madison wanted me to take her picture. Last week, we hit the $2 jewelry tables at Spice. She was sporting her new necklace, earrings, and headband....

It had been a long day, didn't take her long to fall asleep once she got a bath and a snack.

Saturday Events

2011-09-17T15:38:00.003-05:00

Jonathan's folks went out of town for a few days and he has stayed with us, and we picked Madison up mid morning to spend the night. For the first time in a long time, Greg didn't have any games today. But that didn't mean we weren't going to a ballfield. First, we went to watch one of Greg's students play football but the game wasn't where the young man said it was. So then we went to watch some of his girls play softball,. There was a playground next door. Madison and Jonathan had a fun time swinging and playing.
There were times when Jonathan's eyes were pretty big, Papa was swinging him high, or so Jonathan said!!

And of course, Papa had to try out the swings, too!! A trip to Burger King for lunch, dropped Jonathan off with his parents, and now me and Madison are watching a Barbie movie.....I suggested a nap but she informed me that she didn't take naps....drat....

Labor Day weekend in Wimberley

Beautiful flowers....

2011-08-26T18:00:00.003-05:00

I got a dozen roses at the office today from my awesome husband. Not sure why he felt the urge to send them but they are truly beautiful!!
And he really likes to mess with the security guards in our building. He knows that they are nosey and that they look at everything that comes in.....so I guess he just couldn't resist doing this to make them wonder.....

Here she is!!!

2011-08-17T22:54:00.005-05:00

Calie Ashley Kelly

(sorry, I had previously spelled it Callie and the middle name changed)

Callie Ruth Kelly was born by C-section this morning in Pensacola, weighing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces. Ashley/Kailen and Callie are doing well. Kaila and Bricen are soooo excited about their new baby sister!! Kaila told me Callie was "perfect"!! Have been promised pictures soon by email. Will pass them along.....

Backpacking in Colorado--5 days/4 nights

2011-08-03T22:54:00.011-05:00

We are just away from the truck and everything starts with a smile. At this point, I just did not quite know what I had gotten myself in to.
When we got here they all looked at me funny when I made a comment about the small hill we had just walked up. It was an ant mound compared to a few days later. Little did I know.....

It was just oh so beautiful. Everywhere it was as if we were in God's backyard. It was so easy to be close to Him because He was always just right there all around us.

Yes, I am leaning forward. It was one of the most physically challenging things I have ever done.
Not to mention, when your stomach is bigger around than your hips, it is hard for your pack to sit and stay on your hips. It is a constant adjustment keeping it from all sitting totally on your shoulders.

We are within 100 yards of Half Moon Pass and yes, that is snow we had just walked past. Oh yes, this was the third week in July at 12,700 feet. The creeks were very cold being fed by the snow.

After we crossed the pass we went to Wheeler Geological area. It was magnificent. We got to our camp site and it hailed on us. It was awesome.

We are going back over the pass the next day. As if the climb up and the descent down was not hard enough, we got off trail and blazed our own short---long cut through the wilderness. It ended up being a little unsettling before it was over. But it was all just awesomely beautiful!!

Bellville TX

2011-07-22T21:30:00.001-05:00

Great day visititing with wonderful longtime friends!!

Pizza

2011-07-18T21:19:00.002-05:00

Barbecue chicken pizza, Greg's favorite, made from leftover chicken he smoked in our smoker. Purple onion, mozzarella cheese, store bought crust.....but it was yummy!!!

From the trip

2011-07-17T23:12:00.002-05:00

We brought this home from a Stuckey's that we stopped at on the way back from our trip. Greg has already eaten one can of the peanuts. I had never heard of them before, much less eaten them. Apparently, Greg had. He said they were "great". I will just have to take his word
for it.....

And then we got some of the Stuckey's famous pecan logs. The one we got for us is almost gone, Greg likes it, too. Ugh, it is like really sweet divinity rolled in pecans.....our Stuckey's closed years ago, it had been a long time since I had been in one......

Williams, Arizona

2011-07-02T18:52:00.004-05:00

We were in Williams a couple of times while on our vacation. It was a neat little town. And this was a really neat cafe, Cruisers Cafe 66. What drew me to it was the guy with a guitar singing outside, singing oldies, "our" kind of music......

......and then they brought out the chicken fried steak that we ordered. OMGoodness!!! It was so good. And Greg said that the mashed potatoes were the best he had ever eaten. I don't particularly care for mashed potatoes, but I have to agree, they were the best!! They had some of the potato skin mixed in with them and it was almost as if they had taken a whole boiled potato, and squashed it with lots of butter!!! Yum!!!

We made it!!

2011-06-18T22:46:00.002-05:00

WOOHOO......got back home today from 3,300 miles to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, and back, on the motorcycle!! Took lots of pictures, will post a link once I figure out how to do it.... :)

It's Hot Here!!!

2011-06-08T22:34:00.000-05:00

Charley

2011-06-03T07:24:00.004-05:00

Charley's folks went to Seattle last week, so Nonni/Pops and Mimi/Papa got to enjoy her for a few days. Thankfully the mornings were a bit cool over the weekend, she loves to play outside. And she was fascinated by the cat for some reason. Thank goodness she is a good natured cat!! I noticed at one point Charley was using one of her legs as a handle to turn her where she wanted her....

We went through a box of toys/etc, organized some, threw some away. And we found some dress up things in the process. So silly!!

We had lots of fun. But I know she was glad to see her mom and dad when they returned!!!

Love it!!

2011-05-13T22:45:00.003-05:00

I sent a hint out for ideas for Mother's Day....well, I didn't hint, I basically made a suggestion that the gardener in the family would like some gardening "things".....Brandon/Sam/Charley got me a strawberry pot, a larger glazed clay pot (which I have already found a begonia that will fit in it just great, just need to pot it now), a pair of titanium clippers, and a great pair of garden gloves!!

Jeremy/Marci/Jonathan got me a garden tool bag, a cushy kneeling pad, a couple of trowels, and a little rake.

The only thing that I didn't get was potting soil. So Monday after work, I stopped and bought two large bags!!! Woohoo!! Now I am all set, I bought some plants yesterday at Home Depot so this weekend, I hope to get happy "getting my hands dirty"!!! Thanks kiddos for all the great stuff!! Love you all!!

Feed store

2011-05-11T21:14:00.000-05:00

I had to go get seed for the birds and Jonathan went with me. There were baby chicks, baby bunnies, all sorts of birds but he was pretty impressed with one of the cockatoos. It kept saying "Hello" to him.....he was amazed!!

Hmmmm....that bird is sneaking up on me!!!

The egg hunt was on....

2011-04-24T21:29:00.003-05:00

Memories

2011-04-20T22:01:00.005-05:00

Does anyone remember these peanut patties? As a kid, I remember my dad getting them a lot, I think probably at the gas station. There was a box of them as I checked out at a local IGA last week, it makes me smile, I haven't had the heart to open it yet. Makes me think of my dad.....

Sandfest 2011

2011-04-18T21:59:00.013-05:00

Some pretty interesting sand sculptures at Sandfest in Port Aransas this past weekend......

And these were the amateurs and youth entries......didn't even take photos of the sand "masters" entries.....

Not often....

2011-04-15T08:00:00.001-05:00

It isn't often that I get pictures of the boys when they are dressed up. But I snagged a few last week....

Add one of our sweet daughters-in-law......

And add Mimi.....

Charley

2011-04-12T21:49:00.001-05:00

After Carter's party, we met Brandon for dinner before he went to do a photo shoot for a prom in town.

Charley was being quite the pistol.....

OUCH!!!!

Cute feet......

2011-04-10T22:55:00.000-05:00

Happy 1st Birthday Carter!!!

2011-04-09T21:39:00.007-05:00

Carter celebrated his first birthday today.

He wasn't quite sure why there were so many people at his house!!!

Daddy and Carter

Mimi and Papa got Carter a brand new red wagon, a sock monkey jack-in-the-box, clothes, and other stuff. The jack-in-the-box was quite a hit!!!

I think Carter had a great time!! Hope he sleeps well tonight!!!

New Oven

2011-04-08T23:05:00.004-05:00

I didn't get a 'before' picture with my almost 30 year old oven. The old one came out pretty easily. The new one took a bit of work.

I love the continuous grates across the top, that way I can just slide my pots/pans around on the top rather than pick them up, which makes it much easier since I am not supposed to be lifting a lot yet.

The controls for the stovetop and the oven are also on the top, which makes it much more kid safe for the grandkids. And it has a little oven on the top, just large enough for me and Greg, and a large oven on the bottom. Haven't had the chance to cook on it a lot yet but so far, I really like it!!

Fun Visit

2011-03-30T22:13:00.002-05:00

Greg's Uncle Ed rode a bus from Indiana with 40+ other farmers/ranchers to Fort Worth, where they toured farms and ranches in the area. We drove up Tuesday evening and had dinner with him. We had a great visit!!!

Skeeters

2011-03-19T18:33:00.001-05:00

"Skeeters" I made for breakfast this morning.....they were YUMMY!! Thanks for the recipe, Carolyn!!!

Good Morning!!

2011-03-15T07:37:00.002-05:00

Carter is getting so big!! He will be a year old in April!!! He is walking/running everywhere!! He would NOT smile for me when I was trying to take his picture, he would do it as soon as I put the camera down....

Frogs

2011-03-14T13:00:00.000-05:00

Mr. Kelly's class dissected frogs the week before spring break.....what a wild lab coat!!!

Spring is close!!

2011-03-13T23:07:00.000-05:00

These came from our yard....

Hair

2011-03-06T08:21:00.002-06:00

Woohoo!! I styled my own hair twice this weekend!!! That is a big deal when I haven't been able to raise my right arm/hand to my head for 7 weeks!!!

Sunrise

2011-02-23T08:00:00.001-06:00

My dear YOUNGER sister has been coming to the house every morning at 7 AM to blow dry my hair for me. Yesterday morning after she got here, I saw the sun coming up in the mirror and had to go out and take a picture, wet head and all. The colors were beautiful!! (The picture doesn't do it justice at all!!)

6 week post op---bye bye sling!!!

2011-02-22T18:58:00.002-06:00

I am so excited!! Saw the surgeon today for my six week follow up and he says I no longer have to wear this awful thing!! Now the fun begins, getting my shoulder back to normal.....hopefully the therapy won't kill me, sometimes it feels like it will!!!

President's Day

2011-02-21T20:47:00.002-06:00

Finally got to use my Mother's Day gift card to LaBella Visage.....my nails were long enough and I had a day off to have it done!! And I still have enough left on the card to get another!!! Woohoo!!

Basketball

2011-02-21T12:59:00.002-06:00

Basketball is winding down. Greg volunteered to referee special olympics basketball on Saturday morning. They take the game very seriously!!!

Then that evening, he had a TAPPS boys playoff game. He has softball tonight, and another playoff basketball game tomorrow evening.....who knows what the rest of the week holds....it is always hectic when the sports overlap!!!

2011-02-14T08:00:00.000-06:00

Sweets!!

2011-02-13T20:32:00.002-06:00

Yummy homemade Valentine treats from the Round Rock kids....disregard the empty papers, there were more empties after the picture was taken.....

AMAZING!!!

2011-02-06T14:28:00.003-06:00

This is what the goldfish tank looked like starting on Tuesday, and it only got colder and colder as the week went on. The boy's dad used to tell the story about his family going on vacation and they didn't want to have someone come take care of their goldfish that they had at the time, so they would put it in an ice tray and freeze it. And then thaw it out when they got home and it would be fine. All these years, I was thinking "yeah, right", sounded a lot like the tall tales in the movie Big Fish. The weather finally got above freezing for a while on Friday, then yesterday it was warmer all day long. Today it is probably in the 70's and we pulled the tank into the sun so it would thaw.

The goldfish are ALIVE!! The smaller one is a different type of goldfish and she seems to be struggling, I think her little front fins must have frozen!!

If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it!! And Brandon, "ye of little faith"......I guess it wasn't a tall tale after all!!!!

Downtown Waco last night.....

2011-02-04T21:43:00.001-06:00

Snow Day!!!

2011-02-04T12:58:00.006-06:00

Woohoo!! Another day at home this week!!!

Hmmmm.....wonder if the goldfish are cold????

Lexi in her new sweater....

2011-02-02T21:04:00.002-06:00

She isn't too wild about it now but I think once she figures out that it keeps her back warm, she might just realize how great this is!!! Outside cat is in the house sleeping on blanket on the freezer, we have water and electricity, heater is working (no rolling outtages since I got home), baked potato soup for dinner......thankful for so many things!!!

Weather Alert

2011-02-01T11:41:00.002-06:00

WOOHOO!! Bad weather day for us!!! Cold, cold, cold......

Good eats were enjoyed by all!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2011-01-01T00:08:00.002-06:00

Christmas was somewhat organized chaos.....

2010-12-26T20:55:00.002-06:00

My sister hosted Christmas lunch this year. It was very cold and she had a great fire in the fireplace. Carter and Papa were having fun sitting close....but not TOO close because it was quite "roaring".....

The kids were ready to start opening gifts quickly....Charley is surveying the large bag that was hers.....

The first thing Jonathan opened was a soccer ball.....he just had to get it out of the package and kick it a time or two....

Hmmm......"mommy, can I open this shopping cart??"

Carter got lots of stuff but was just happy to sit in a box and watch what was going on.....

Merry Christmas Eve!!!

2010-12-24T08:00:00.001-06:00

Isn't this a great lookin' cookie?? No, I didn't decorate it......

Carter at 8 months.....

2010-12-23T17:10:00.001-06:00

Carter is really growing!!!

Lady Bears Christmas Ornament

Good Eats!!

2010-12-11T18:21:00.002-06:00

San Antonio is really a great place for great food. Didn't get photos of the Mexican food we had Friday night but this breakfast on Saturday morning at Mi Tierra was wonderful!!!

Liquid refreshments at the Buckhorn Museum.

Saturday evening we ate at a seafood restaurant that I can't remember the name of, Susan and Daniel had eaten there before.....

Leaves, leaves, and more leaves....

2010-12-08T20:00:00.000-06:00

We have had more leaves this year than I can ever remember.

We played in them a while before we tried to rake them up.

The kitten from next door came to visit.

We burned nearly all the leaves last weekend. There are some left, but will have to wait until another time to burn the rest.....

Me and my Bestie in San Antonio......

Texas Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys

2010-11-28T16:50:00.004-06:00

Our first look at the field.

The local football team at the high school that Dustin played for was in a playoff game at the new Texas Stadium on Friday after Thanksgiving. Greg really wanted to go.....me? Not so much. But he did have a point, at $12 per ticket, it would be the cheapest price for us to EVER see a game at the stadium. So he talked me into going.

It was AWESOME!! This crowd picture was one of the "smaller" screens.....

The color guard and the football guys were on the BIG screen, photos taken from our seats....which was right in our faces!! I think I may have looked down a couple of times to watch a few plays, otherwise I was watching this big screen. It was AMAZING!! I could see the color of the players' eyes and the expressions on their faces, as well as getting to watch the replays!!!It was great!!! I could get used to watching football like this!!

Tell me why I would want to watch the game from this perspective???

Greg didn't realize until our trip home that I had been watching the screen the whole ballgame!! Midway didn't win, but we had a fun time anyway!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

2010-11-25T06:00:00.001-06:00

Be sure and count your blessings......I know WE are blessed!!!

I wish we were back in Colorado.....

Outside Fun

2010-11-02T10:00:00.000-05:00

The weather was so nice this weekend. After lunch on Sunday, it was time to get outside and play!!

Jonathan was playing football, and Uncle was trying to tackle him, see how he hung on to the ball???.....

Charley was watching and dancing away......

Then they discovered the doggie door.....they were very curious, especially when Maria stuck her hand through from the other side.....

Wow, time for a drink.....

Things look different from here.....

Then it was time to head for naps.....

Happy Halloween!!

2010-11-01T21:19:00.002-05:00

A couple of cute Halloween gals dressed in red......

Marcie said Jonathan would have nothing to do with his costume, or Halloween in general. Said he didn't even pay any attention to the kids that were coming to the door for candy....maybe next year......

GO BEARS!!!

Sunrise this morning.....

Baylor Homecoming Parade 2010

2010-10-23T14:28:00.005-05:00

Greg didn't have any athletic officiating commitment today--YAHOO--so he was able to join us. He and Jonathan were enjoying a kolache and donut holes while we were waiting on the parade to begin.

Baylor University has the largest collegiate parade in the nation.

Jonathan didn't know quite what to think about the people in the parade throwing candy to us. But he did know what to do with this little blue football that someone gave him...."foooo-ball"...

Papa walked him out to touch the helium football balloon.

Why is it so hard to get a 2 year old to cooperate for a picture? Here we have a "fish face"........and here he looks like he realizes that he is going to mess up my picture...and is enjoying it!!!

Girls know how to Grill Good!!

This morning.....

2010-10-14T19:22:00.002-05:00

When I took the trash to the road this morning, I saw the golden sunlight on the grass in the lot next door. I love this grass, have no idea what it is. And at this time of year it is tall and catches the light really nice. I ran in and got the camera.

The first shot is probably closest to what I had in mind. I just keep trying and trying when I see the early or late light on it.....

Oh well, there is always tomorrow......
