look at those baby blues

lovie boy

Case at Nanny and PawPaw's this weekend

left turn

Lexie and Case both apparently making a left turn.....

Giddyup

Well, not quite giddyup since Case is still apprehensive about actually getting on his new horse that Nana (great-grandmother Kiser...KK's mom) sent him But, he is certainly bringing new meaning to "bareback"

KK's birthday

Case and Mommy were able to get away this weekend to go to KK's 60th birthday dinner (poor Daddy didn't get to go due a Friday night scrimmage and a need to work on his final paper for grad school) KK's brother and sister-in-law (Jack and Kathy) hosted. We had a great time and a great meal and Case had fun as usual.

Here is a cute pic of KK with her mom ("nana") and brothers Jack and Jerry

My future's so BRIGHT....

KK & Papa Doc came to see me this weekend. Here are some pics of me practicing being COOL while they were here....I love Daddy's shades!

The Fort Worth Zoo

I snapped this shot of my two boys while we were at the Fort Worth Zoo...Case is a spittin' image of Joey in this one!

more mexico pics

I obviously took a lot of pictures on our trip to Mexico. Here are a few that I took with my holga (plastic toy camera) and some 35mm film. As you can see, it has a really cool effect when you shoot 35mm through a camera that is made for 120 film. It exposes the film all the way through the sprocket holes, I love the effect:

blinded by love...

Case hears music, he dances. Tonight at Craig Fisher's happy trails party he shared his first dance with someone outside of the family. Emmalie is his partner (Shane & Erin's daughter), and yes, he did get a kiss before the night was over.

Allison's new hairstyle

Allison took the leap today. She's been carrying a picture of the style she likes around for about 6 months (maybe longer) but I always told her I liked her hair longer. I love the way it turned out, she looks great with any hair (probably with no hair too) but I especially like the result. Here's the before and after:

trip follow-up

Well, our trip down south was all we hoped and more. A great time was had by all and we had no major problems. God was good to keep Montezuma at bay as we ate all we wanted and more without too many difficulties. What a beautiful place, we're already planning a return visit!

This first shot was taken with a lomographic frogeye camera, Allison and I found it for $40 at Urban Outfitters in Dallas, I was impressed:

finally...a break

Allison & I are taking off with the Naterman's down to Mexico. Our flight takes off at 7:00am and we will be on the beach by tomorrow afternoon. This will mark momma's first time away from Case and will be my longest time away from him since he was born. We are looking forward to time for relaxation, taking pictures for fun, eating, chasing turtles, and again...stress-free hangin' out. I will be experimenting with my Hogla plastic camera and am looking forward to having a chance at some great scenic shots. Here are a few I've taken recently:

Sweet!

We spent some time at Tawakoni this weekend with my parents, Kim, Ryan & Josh (Kody was at camp) and all of our animals. We had a great time, got to fish a little and spent a lot of time with Case and the family. One of the highlights of the weekend was Case and his Nanny having a moment while cooking Austrailian Cheesecake (no, there's no raw eggs). Case got his first opportunity to lick the spoon! It's one of those rites of passage that all young children need to experience, he thought it was heavenly. Just look at his face!



Fishin' in the rain...

father's day

We had a great family trip out to Arlington today to meet Mom, Dad, & Aunt Marcy for an early dinner at Abuelo's. We had a good time and got the opportunity to honor Dad for father's day. Case is growing up so quick, it is evident on the faces of people that have not seen him in a couple of weeks. He's walking around everywhere and is more fun than ever. Here's a pic or two from this evening:

He's on the move!

Yep, you guessed it - Case is now officially a 'toddler'. On several occasions over the last 2 days he has taken 10-12 strung together steps all by himself! What a sweet, lovey boy he is! Once we capture some pics we'll be sure to post!

My 1st Ranger Game!

Daddy and I went to a Texas Ranger game tonight, we had a great time! There were a lot of people there to talk to and plenty of fun to be had.

Happy Birthday to our "itty bitty mitty" Case

J & I will add pics from the party as we get a chance to sort through them! Case thoroughly enjoyed his special day! After all the storms Friday night (tornados, etc.) we had a perfect West Texas day on Sunday! Sunny, 73 degrees, no wind and hardly a cloud in the sky! Anyone who has been to West Texas knows those days are few and far between.

bluebonnets

This is probably just the first of a couple of bluebonnet posts, we know it's a Texas tradition. Here is our first go at it:


Here is what Case thought about taking all of these pics...

easter egg hunt at tawakoni

Well, we had a great time as a family at Tawakoni this weekend. It was topped off Sunday with Case's first official Easter egg hunt. He was only about five days old last Easter, so none of us were very coherent for that one. Case liked to find two hard-boiled eggs and smash them together until he struck yolk...he loved it! Enjoy the pics...

fish on!

Allison must get it from her Dad, she outfishes me everytime she decides to go. She caught three keeper crappie Friday evening of our Tawakoni Easter weekend. She's not invited today, but she has already caught enough for her own meal...the top fish was a hair over 15 inches, the bottom was a solid 14. Nice slabs (talkin' about the fish). We ended up cleaning 37 on the weekend, yum.

our little bunny is almost a year old!

Here are a few pics of Case from April 5th, Easter is this weekend and we will spending it at Lake Tawakoni with Mom & Dad...can't wait to go have some fun and take a break from grad school for the weekend! Look at the little stinker:
