It has been cold around here but we braved the elements today to bike down to the fort construction site. We have been foraging for building materials. We take basic construction tools. Hatchet, hammer, nails. Then we beat on stuff until we warm up. A few minutes usually does it. Then we […]
Toni and Danny called Saturday night to see if we had Sunday plans. Nope. Ok, you do now, they said. Woo-Hoo, let’s hear it for spontaneous family fun days. We played outside all afternoon despite the grey skies. We rode the razor, of course. But we also did some nature exploring to show Toni some […]
Randall took a few quick pics of Lily skiing. We can’t wait to go back. We all want to try snowboarding but can’t give up the precious little time we have on the slopes to a new hobby. Someday, for sure. As you can see, she prefers the snowplow form. She can actually snowplow pretty […]
We finally got the OK from Jake to visit him at the Snowmansion! Yeah, he totally caved in when we said we might just book rooms under alias names and show up in disguise. We headed west Wednesday and arrived at Arroyo Seco at dusk. We walked through the door of the Abominable Snowmansion and […]
My fashion model Minnie Fuchs is modeling bathrobes today on the Tipton farm, in the Tipton barn. As the coyotes howl outside, Minnie is modeling bathrobes in the barn.
Family time ruled this weekend. Toni hosted the Youngblood Family reunion and we had tons of good food all day. Lily and Hope got to get reacquainted and played happily outside all day long, pretty much having their own little backyard party. I cut away from the fun for a few hours to meet Ryder […]
When Lily gets home from the school, Minnie is right there on the driveway waiting. She knows when the fun starts around here. The evenings are getting slightly nippy so we get our hats and jackets on to run outside and play while there is light. The Alexander’s Razor is currently parked at the Tipton’s […]
Halloween always makes me feel like a unimaginative moron and a candy miser. I always vow to do better next year. Then next year rolls around and and I’m like “Ok, we have a witch, a mermaid and a gypsy all still wearable from previous years’ Oct 30 costume grab at Wal-Mart.” Lily never seems […]
Carl and Faye came to see Lily play basketball on Thursday. I don’t know what was the bigger show – cute kids playing basketball or Randall and I leading both set of grandparents to the highest bleacher in the gym. Lisa is in the habit of sitting by the open window in the hot crowded […]
Yes, we said a sad parking-lot goodbye to Michelle at the Altus Arby’s on Wednesday. Michelle headed to McKinney to see our very good friend Vicki Redd. Randall, Lily and I headed west to Caprock State Park near Turkey, TX. We crossed the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River with Randall singing the […]
