Tricia with Naomi & Ava and Jill

Cowgirls!

Well guess what Papa & Nana got for Naomi & Ava? Naomi had called us a while back telling us that she wanted a cowboy hat.........like Papa Tex's. But of course in her favorite color - - - PINK!

Playing at Nana's & Papa's.......

Ava is now 1 1/2 years old. Naomi is almost 3 1/2.

Papa's Boat

The next best thing to playing in the playhouse...........is playing in Papa's Tex' boat.

The Playhouse!

Here is Naomi in front of the playhouse. She is convinced that we built it just for her!!
The first ones to play in the playhouse was Naomi, Ava, Liam and Holly. Tex still needs to finish the inside and we also have some painting to do. What FUN!!

The playhouse.........is almost done!

Tex has continued to work on the playhouse. We knew the girls were coming for a visit the last weekend in February. It is not totally complete.........but enough so that they could play in it. I have to say I think we have had as much fun working on it as the grandkids will have playing in it.

The Playhouse begins

We have talked about building this playhouse/storage room for a long time. We finally decided we had better get going on it as everyone seems to be growing up. So here is Tex starting the project.

Dinner Dilemma comes back to life!

What should I make for dinner tonight? This is the daily question many a cook asks herself. Dinner Dilemma will be a place where cooks can post what they make for dinner. Then others can be inspired to whip up something delicious for their family & friends.

Feel free to check out our site. Just click on Dinner Dilemma on the right hand side and you will be re-directed to Dinner Dilemma. That adorable little girl in the picture...........is my youngest granddaughter, Ava!

Things will be great in 08!

But of course we thought they were great in 07, 06, 05, etc. etc.
We began our first day of 2008 with a Champagne Brunch at The Gateway.
Best of luck to our friends and family!

Bringing in the new year!

Here we are with our friends Kevin & Nancy Clark. We again celebrated at The Gateway in Three Rivers! So much fun!
