The scene from the back porch - crazy cool trees huh!
Liam feeding one longhorn from our backyard
JR - the bull that either really liked me or really hated me, can't tell
Beautiful Gruene Hall - oldest standing dance hall in Texas
I just realized how long it has been since I blogged (where does the time go when I'm HOME ALL DAY!?) Good grief!
So we've been hanging out alot inside lately due to the ridiculous heat here in Houston. Anything above 95 and my precious little dainty skin melts. Liam really doesn't care - he has been logging alot of underwear time around the house to stay cool. I've been logging alot of swimsuit time - sadly enough one day my husband asked me if I planned on wearing a swimsuit indoors the rest of my life...I wanted to say yes.
I posted some pics from the lake house vacation with my in-laws to Canyon Lake. Liam especially loved the wildlife drive through safari where an Ostrich ate right out of daddy's hand (video coming soon I promise!) The 5 longhorns living with us on the ranch were awesome (of course UT alum) and right in our back yard basically (too close for my comfort). I obviously am a "city girl" my husband likes to say (bugs, heat, well-water, large cattle, wilderness, all scare me and I was attacked by fire ants twice!) But the kiddos seemed to really enjoy themselves in the country as did my little country-bumpkin husband :) I think we may retire in that lake house we went to someday - he liked it just a little too much this past weekend!! Jackson, Liam, Avery & I walked out on the ranch to feed the cows one afternoon - bad idea. I was in a cute little sundress and flip flops...not appropriate "run for your life from the stampeding cows" attire. But we survived - and Liam loved throwing cow cookies for them to snack on! I also learned how to call cattle - sounds similiar to "come boss" according to my father in law. Either that or he just wanted me to make a fool of myself screaming that at the top of my lungs from the porch in my cute little sundress and D&G sunglasses!
We did get to go to my absolute favorite place on our trip - Gruene. Hello Gruene, I love you. I could so retire there - in the city/small town, not in a cabin in the woods with grasshoppers the size of small rodents. But the river, the shops, Gruene Hall, oh I could have just stayed forever. People there still say hello as you pass them on the street. People there drive cars older than me and live in houses that their grandparents built. People there are still honest. What a wonderful secret Eutopia. I'll be back someday Gruene - someday for good.
That's all for now - thinking of doing something crazy with my hair like super side swept long rocker-chic bangs. We'll see - the chameleon in me is itching for a change. Who knows - I'm a gemini so that means I have a split personality right?? I'm part responsible mommy, part rocker chic :) Does that work?
peace and many blessings today...
