The Boys

We took a quick trip to see the boys this weekend! They had to work during the day, so we decided to go on a day trip to the State Fair! The trip was great - and the boys are doing awesome!

Mujeres del Tamales

That means Tamale Women! Today that's what we were! Michelle and her two little girls, and Emma and I made tamales. Some were meat tamales, others were dessert tamales made with raisins and peanuts! There can't be any better way to learn Spanish than to work (or cook)together! Emma es la mejor Professora de Espanole y Cocinar en todo la mundo! (That's supposed to mean Emma is the best teacher of Spanish and Cooking in the entire world - but I'm pretty sure it's not entirely right!) Anyway - it was fun and the tamales are great!

Indulge Me Please!

Donkeys can live to be 40 years old. Since MiHijo is the last equine I will ever need, I am being thorough in his upbringing! I decided that when I'm 90, I may not feel like bending over to pick things up, so I taught MiHijo to "give it to me please!" I am asking for the can in the first picture. He is handing it to me in the 2nd! The 3rd picture doesn't need explanation - the gloat says it all!!

Yeah Clay!!!!!

I have a new hero! It's Clint Haverty - Clay's boss! He encouraged Clay to go back to college, and even offered to let him go during the day without penalty to wages! Clay took him up on the offer, and is now enrolled as a full time student, taking Business classes at Texas Women's University!! I've been giving Clay all sorts of grief about going to a womens college! He says the 82% female poplulation has nothing to do with his decision - but I'm not buying it! What do you think?

Bacon - Not

Teryn and Ty have been trapping coyotes with snares. They've caught 12 coyotes in 4 weeks. Sometimes they catch javelinas in the snares, and the other day they caught this big hog. Don't worry - it looks like Bacon - but it's not! Bacon is still hanging out at the house with us!
