zucchini anyone???







So I went a little crazy when planting the zucchini in our garden this year...I think I planted 10-15 zucchini plants and every one of them are growing zucchini's - so far. Nothing like homemade zucchini bread right? You can come pick them yourself (or if you live in Houston, you only have to pay the shipping, what a deal, fresh zucchini from the garden for only $4.95). And I'm sure we'll have plenty of grapes to share too...they are yummy! Fresh grapes from the vine always remind me of Great Grandpa/Grandma Jones and eating them at their trailer. Eat up!

"A little something to brag about"

I know you think your father and mother are archaic when it comes to computers (because we are), but I know you will all be proud of me. My remote for the car hasn’t been working, so I went for a new battery. They said my battery was fine and I would need to get my remote reprogrammed with Toyota. So, I tried that and they said I needed a new remote and that it would be between $180 and $200 to get it. I told them I could open the door by hand for that much money. Anyway, I decided to try ebay. I found a new remote for $6 or $7 and ordered it and then did a google search for instructions to program it. Altogether, it cost me under $20 with shipping, etc. Today at noon I programmed my new remote and it works great! Can you believe it?

I tried to go on the family blog to share this great news, but it says my invite has run out. Are you trying to tell me something?

mainly for pa and fire, but others might enjoy. not a bad way to hunt. if only l and r bird ranch would have had this to get to the south field, intead of the ole ford. i don't think fire could even get this stuck crossing the wash. well... i guess he could. we would have fought for the chance to go "clean the screen".

Girl and Boy dancing




Cooper and Porter came over to play today. They all started dancing...so cute.
Notice how different Kate and Cooper dance...it's definitely a girl/boy thing. Even Maggie was getting in on the action.

Happy Mother's Day Susan

There are many things we can learn from this video. Here are some highlights:

  • You can call each other fat and ugly but never make fun of another person's mudda (mother).
  • Mother is spelled M-O-T-H-E-R
  • You may never know when you need it so it is always good to carry a microphone; I want to say in your back pocket is a good place but it looks more like Mr T had it stashed in his pants near the small of his back for some reason.
  • We should treat our mother's right.

Happy Mother's Day
