Donuts!

For my Hubby's graduation we had both of our families come into town. Our place is pretty humble and would not hold all of our family for a comfortable dinner. So, some very good friends opened their home to host us and a few others. We wanted our parents to meet more people where we live... and celebrate Phil's accomplishments. Our friend got this cake made of Krispy Kreme Donuts! Oh cute, right! So we added a few touches and woop, zoop, swoop... instant officer cake!

New Chapter!

My husband passed his state test yesterday! Praise God! We were thrilled. Thank you to all who were praying for us through this time. No this is not a picture of my hubby, It's Eric Estrada who played the character Ponch on the police show Chips. Because of his name my husband earned the name Ponch. Even at his graduation his instructors called him Ponch. Yesterday we celebrated by buying a graduation present for him and eating at Carino's... yum! We are excited to start this new chapter and excited to see God's continuing faithfulness to us and our family!

Skunks Beware!

My Husband is awesome. He provides for our family in every way. There seems to be one creature that he keeps um... protecting me from... skunks! His skunk kill is now up to 2! The first "Skunky" as I name it was on our honeymoon. We went to Ft. Davis for our honeymoon and drove one night to see the Marfa Light. (More like Marfa Yeah Right!) On the way there he runs over and kills "Skunky." Fastforward to this morning. I take Texas outside and right away it smells like a skunk. Over where my husband parks his truck right by the marks made by the tires was a d-e-a-d dead skunk, Skunky II. Now I'm pretty sure that he was ran over, plus I've seen enough CSI to know when I'm looking at evidence. Ok to be honest I've been covering my eyes every time I have to pass by. Hubby didn't even know what he did. When I told him, he commented on what a great hunter he is and that I should cook it and serve it to his parents and sister tonight. (I will never be that country!) That to say this is a tribute for all the skunks that have been sacrificed to my husbands tires and all the skunks out there. P.S. Both cases were complete accidents. My husband is very sweet and would NEVER intend to hurt innocent animals.

Texas Adventure

Before...

After...

Our beloved red heeler is almost two years old. Some of his favorite hobbies include sleeping on the couch, sleeping on the bed, sleeping on top of my Hubby and I while we watch movies, and chewing up the house. He loves to chew and has become very good at it. Phil suggusted that we document his progress. This little Tiger we named 'Tegere.' Keep in mind this is the third one Texas has owned. This particular one was given to Texas on Tuesday and lasted till Friday.
