Our New Bougainvillea!

Aunt Sharon brought us a beautiful bougainvillea!  Joshua and Alyssa did a great job helping me transplant it!  Here they are after a job well done!

Summer's Comin' On!

And with summer comes the backyard swimmin' pool!  As you can see, the pool was missed!

Plenty of smiles in the pool!




What a sweet brother and sister!










Toothless grin!


Action shot!








Nice approach!  Looks like that gymnastics is paying off!


I give it a 10!


He's going to be a sprinter...


The next several pictures are a series of Joshua and Alyssa racing to the pool... and they're off!


Neck and neck!


Look at them go!


Joshua pulls ahead!


Joshua wins!  Wait a minute... what happened to Alyssa?!


She's up...


She's OK!


Nice recovery!

Happy Early Birthday, Dad!

I came home from work on Friday to find a beautifully wrapped box waiting for me!  Low and behold it was a new gas-powered week whacker!  Thanks guys!

Happy Birthday, Dad!


Beautiful wrapping!


Great card!


Just what I wanted!

Dad Returns from Florida... Bearing Gifts!

Joshua, Alyssa, and Emily made out like bandits when I returned from my GI conference in Florida.

Welcome back, Dad!


Looks like a mouse stowed away in Dad's bag!


Joshua and Buzz, Alyssa and Minnie!


Happy to have Dad back!

Uncle Mike Comes to Belton!

Everyone loves it when Uncle Mike visits Belton!

Working on some puzzles!


Everyone is having a good time!


Uncle Mike and Alyssa!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all those mother's out there!  My whole family got together at Grandma's house to celebrate!  Here are some pictures from the event...

Hmmm... one of these things is not like the others...


Joshua with Uncle Mike...


Joshua with his niece and nephew...


Happy Mother's Day, Mom!


Smiles for Mother's Day!


Mom sure is lucky!


Looks like Mom likes her new gift!!!


Hugs from Alyssa!
