"I'M NOT A COW, I'M A BOY"

Dustin and Melody were riding in the back of the truck when Melody started moooing at the cows outside the window like she does frequently. Dustin turns to Melody and exclaims "I've told you three times... I'm not a cow, I'm a boy!!" Finding the agravation entertaining Melody continued to mooo with a devious smirk on her face. Dustin continued to try to convince her that he is not a cow, but a boy and too stop mooing at him, but she was having way too much fun to stop.

FISHING ON LAKE FORK

For our 5th anniversary we went on a fishing trip to Lake Fork. Dusty and Mely stayed with Grandma and Papa while we hit the water. The weather did not cooperate one bit, but we toughed it out panchos and all. J.D. caught 4 large mouth bass; the largest being 5 lbs. I was a little less fortunate catching a channel cat and perch. No matter what the fishing reports said we found that live bait such as frogs caught in our boat, lizards on our porch and something called a water dog worked the best. I had it all planned out to spend our anniversary going to a nice dinner with dancing at what they called the "billy bobs of east texas." On arrival I felt like I was straight out of the movie Urban Cowboy. Its never good when the waitress brings your dinner and asks you to break open your catfish to make sure its cooked b/c "they've had some problems with that earlier today." Needless to say I stuck with my curly fries and hushpuppies.

EASTER AT GRANDMA'S AND PAPA'S

WORKING' AT BIG D'S

THE GREAT WOLF LODGE

JUST A SWINGIN'

We bought the kids their first swingset today! It was a grueling 6 hrs to put together but was well worth it after seeing the smiles on the kids faces. Mindy, Dustin, and Melody spent the entire day playing on the swingset and the box it came in!

DUSTIN AND MELODY'S GREEN THUMB

We had a day of planting flowers once the weather turned nice. Dustin was a great help scooping and leveling the dirt, but Melody mostly ate the dirt and tried to roll around on the flowers.
