Wes check off food list

We decided to go out for a drive in Wes car... Ended up in Snook, Texas. It 125 miles one way, real nice country roads with lots of cotton and cornfields.
He keeps seeing this place on Diners, Drive in and Dives..they have Chicken Fried Bacon with gravy. Hmmm, not too bad and then Wes ordered a small chicken fried steak meal...we laughed til we saw the people across from us with their Full orders come out...Don't know why he's not hungry....

Becky and Brian had their baby this morning, July 20, 2010 at 5:26 a.m. ...(after only 2 hrs of labor- Becky your every lady envy...)

The BOX the BOX!!!!

Wes finally got the box from Lara and Jim for Fathers Day. They mailed everyone stuff to Brian's since we would be celebrating there but it was returned "UNDELIVERABLE". So Lara separated it and mailed Brian family their box and they got it last Sat. but Wes box didn't come ,,,and didn't come,,, and FINALLY after making Lara some what crazy, it arrived yesterday.
Dad loved it and say Thank YOU..XO

Went over to Restland in Dallas and checked on the 6 plots to be sold and went to find Granky and her 2 husband graves sites...I went back in to get map of section H and had to fill out paperwork and then "Randy" had to show us where it was...HE was new and didnt even know where H section was, driving us around the long way...according to his map it was 2nd row seven from end...yeah right.. but we found them...
Headed home and met Danny for dinner at the Italian Village...She headed back to Austin about noon, to get her flight. Had a great visit with Mary (aka: Aunt Curly.)

We'll do it again boys... XO

Day 9

Well it was a loonngg night. Lucas fell out of his low bed 3 times last night in 45 minutes...I put the mattress on floor and tried to get him back to sleep but he got a second wind and didnt go back to sleep til 2:40...

We had a good day...did our usual front porch, take trash, back porch play. Lucas loves water,,,dog water, hoses , pool...Brian would rather dig...
It threatened to rain all day but never did. Went to Walmart to get papa medicine and to Taco Bell for lunch... Lucas went down for 2 hr nap and Brian played quieltly with his plane but never did go to sleep,,, Late this afternoon Pa-pa went and got his mower with his trailer on it. They had fun.
Went to Dennys for dinner and just as we were leaving the skies opened up... We went over to Brookes to give her her birthday present and boys to say bye.

We had a great time with our grandbabies and will do it again...

Day 8

We had another busy day...we went for a walk and went over to the Baumgarners to let them see the boys. They got to play on the merry go round and swing and ate a cupcake. Tom and Judy thought they were they cutest boys they had seen.
Then we went to HEB, a local grocery store with Gram to buy another pool...Ginger the german shepered dog, keep jumping in it and now it wont hold water. Since they were on sale I bought 2 and we got lunch and went back home... Lucas went down for 2 hr nap and I have to laugh cause Brian will do ANYTHING not to rest....Pa-pa has tried every day to get him to go with him on his mower and Brian didnt want anything to do with it if it was on but not today boy...he even wore a hat. They were off mowing the yards...made Wes day. He then wanted to be like papa with his cowboy hat so I let them try it out. These boys need a horse dont you think?...
Danny played with Brian on my bed and watched CARS...but didnt go to sleep. Then it was Lucas turn to play with Danny...After diner it cooled off and the boys ad I went out to back porch and they played in the sand and swings...storms coming in so we went in and got ready for bed... I cant bleieve it..Brian went to sleep before Lucas tonight...I think he was tired...
