5 years old!

Today is Chance's birthday...I can't believe he's 5 years old!

new batch of chicks

This morning I picked up our day old chicks from the post office. We ordered 25 chicks, but they sent us 26. All of these chicks are broilers, so they will be in the freezer in about 6 to 8 weeks.

watercolor sketch

Kris loves shoes, so I sketched these shoes from a picture I saw on the internet. I'm hoping to paint a larger version of it for her room.

aggie ring day

DH and I had no idea that this cannon was going to be fired...it's an aggie thing!
The revealing of a very large aggie ring in front of the alumni building.
Britt and Kris getting a good laugh at DH and I after the cannon was fired. I thought we were being attacked by terrorist or something. Scared the crap out of me...I couldn't decide if I should duck or what! Go ahead and laugh all you aggies!
Britt inspecting her ring to make sure everything is perfect.
Here it is up close! Kris can't wait til next year to get hers!

i can't believe it's been 2 years!

Buckles is 2 years old today! I just love this picture of him the day we brought him home!

"green house"

We watch Renovation Nation every week on the Planet Green channel. Last week there was a house from Houston on the show. I couldn't believe it, so yesterday DH and I drove into Houston and found the house...it's mostly glass and metal...even the garage doors are solid glass. I wish I would have taken a picture from that side of the house, but I didn't want to draw attention to myself. It has solar panels on the roof and since it has so much glass, they get a lot of natural lighting. I wouldn't want to live in a house like this, it's too contemporary, but it was interesting to see. Afterwards, we went to Whole Foods and did a little shopping...it was just a couple of blocks from this house on Kirby. I wish we had a Whole Foods close to us!

yay...it's finally september!

I'm so glad August is behind us...I'm not a summer person at all! I've noticed the past couple of days, that the breeze is from the North and the humidity is lower. I can't wait until I need a long-sleeve shirt and jeans...now that's my kind of weather.
