So long to the "giant truck" as Adam called it. Yes, it was a huge truck, so large it would not fit in our garage or the parking garage downtown. Add to the fact the alternator went out, and Brandon decided it was time to let it go. Never fear, he replaced the giant truck with another truck a little less giant.
Brandon celebrated his 37th Birthday and his grandfather celebrated his 85th this weekend in Waco.
Here are all the Jones cousins together in one picture. We promised a Dr. Pepper if they would sit still for one minute. Mimi and Bapa have seven grandchildren seven and under. And Russell and Kate are expecting their first in March!
For Labor Day, we hung out at Brandon's new deer lease with friends. The property is about an hour away and Brandon is very excited about his prospects there. He sold his trailer and he will have a house to stay at on the lease.
Yes, that's really a deer. He is a pet! We accompanied our friends to their relatives house and met this sweet little thing. He was found as a baby and bottle fed. He loved animal crackers and bread. He would not eat Adam's hot dog but Brandon said deer are herbivores so that made sense. Adam and Ryan were totally amazed!
A first for me, crawdad fishing. It was great fun and no hooks or worms involved. Just throw out your baited line with shrimp or bacon and watch those suckers grab hold and then yank it out of the water. The boys could have done it all day. Catch and release, boys - no crawdads coming home with us.
How cute is that little deer! We just saw one dashing through our yard. Pierson and Maylin would absolutely flip out if they got to pet one like that!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's amazing! Looks like a fun time!
