African Grey

We are currently re-doing our bedroom.  I am thinking that I want most of the wall art and room decor to be taken from all aspects of our life.  I see lots of old antique pictures and picture frames, containg loved ones from a time gone by.  Two of our most adored loved ones are of the furry kind...and just as much a part of the family as anyone could be.  While following another blog I came across a graphic design artist that sells these prints on Etsy.  Her name is Whitney Coleman and her shop name is African Grey - sounds like a bold earthy color and immediately makes me think of elephants and jungles.

Vegas Baby!!!

July 17, 2010 - Jeremy & Candace's Wedding

Jeremy & Candace had their ceremony in the FABULOUS Venus Gardens at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, NV.  Reception followed in a ballroom at the hotel.  We had a BLAST!  So much fun to take a big family trip, it has been a looooong time since we did that.  The wedding was definitely the hilight of the weekend but we also had tickets to The Beatles 'LOVE' which was AMAZING to say the least. I highly recommend everyone see this show - especially Beatles fans! You will not be disappointed.  We also ate some great food and the pool at Caesar's is fantastic.  I have stayed at a couple different hotels in Vegas but Caesar's is by far my favorite.  It was a very successful weekend - we didn't win big but we didn't lose much either.  I 'd say breaking even makes for successful trip!

John's 28th Birthday @ PK

We went to PK this past weekend and had a blast as ususal!  We just laid back and enjoyed some peace and quiet.  We did have a little excitement on Saturday afternoon when John and Eric found an abandoned sail boat nearby.  John contemplated the idea of sailing it for awhile then hopped on and sailed away! It was pretty funny with the ripped sail but quite impresssive that he was out there raging the rapids and steering without any problem...he got up to like 20 mph! It was really windy out there.

After being pushed to the other side of the cove and having no way home, Eric rescued him with his fishing boat...

They endured the fighting for several minutes before deciding to re-abandon the ship and call it a day.

Among the many hi-lights of the weekend we saw a snake, several lizzards, too many nasty spiders, and my first live coyote! I was so excited.  I have heard them in the distance all my life but have never actually SEEN one live and in person. 

What can I say, I dig the wilderness :) 

I also had to take some pictures of the Brazos on our way home b/c it was sooo red and looked pretty next to the gorgeous color green of the grass and trees.

Donny would also like for me to post a picture of a rotting dead coyote by the side of the road but I will spare y'all.
