Kyle's Track Meet-Vega Allstars!!!

There is nothing more exciting to me than to watch Kyle participate in school functions, especially when it's something I did & loved growing up!!! Track meets ROCK!!!Kyle participated in the LONG JUMP, and the 800 METER run. He did fantastic! I'm SUPER PROUD of him. It was SO MUCH FUN watching him run, jump and hang out with his friends!!!

All Day Fishing

Kyle had Friday off from school. He spent nearly the ENTIRE day fishing! He came home 2 times-once to get more bait & then because he was thirsty. He didn't even eat lunch! Not even a snack-HIGHLY UNUSUAL for Kyle. He was beet red when he came home, most likely from being dehydrated and sunburned. After a few cups of water, a shower, popcicle, some dinner, & 2 bowls of cereal he was fine! LOL!
While he was at our neighborhood lake, a friend of Kyle's actually caught a turtle! It was so sad...totally struggling against the hook. It took me ten minutes or so to get the turtle unhooked. NOT an easy task. Brownie had a GREAT time down there!!!!! She is such a GREAT companion! She was very excited about all the fish Kyle caught and of course the turtle! When the kid reeled in the turtle Brownie actually JUMPED in the water and dog paddled back to shore!! It was the funniest thing ever! LOL! What a GREAT DAY!

New to Me-Bike & Toddler Seat!

Here's my "new to me" bike with toddler seat! Duane's been talking about getting bikes for a couple of months and he found us a couple with a seat for Melanie on craigslist! It's pretty FUN! We've been going for bike rides nearly every evening since Mother's Day weekend! Melanie absolutely LOVES it! She's constantly asking to go for a bike ride!

My 32nd. Birthday

I had a very nice birthday. Duane helped Kyle & Melanie make me a card. They gave me my favorite chocolate Hershey's Candy Bar with ALMONDS-DELICIOUS!!!! We went to AppleBees for dinner. Kids eat FREE on Tuesdays PLUS we had a buy 1 entree get 1 FREE!!!!! They sang Happy Birthday to me. Duane was hoping to get me embarrassed-didn't work! Kyle & Melanie clapped and sang along! We also got a small ice cream sundae FREE too, which we all shared!! What a GREAT birthday dinner!

Kyle at Sky Ranch

Kyle had a field trip to Sky Ranch in Van, TX. He went camping for 3 days and 2 nights. He stayed in a cabin. He went swimming in a pool that had a trapeeze to swing and jump from! He went on a zip line from 1 end of the campsite to the other. Kyle thought that was AWESOME! He touched a couple of dead aligator heads. Saw a ferret, Python and some other kind of slithering snake! He also learned a little about Columbus and the Indians. His Indian name was Chsing Panther! He enjoyed face painting, grinding corn, and seeing the T-Pees. Actually, I think, I know he enjoyed the entire trip! He had a FANTASTIC time.
