Saturday Night in Del Rio

Last weekend we took a road trip to the little border town of Del Rio to visit one of my most favorite friends in the world, Cody. She and I met in the summer of 1999 ( when the Spurs won the Natl Championship) working at Laity Lodge Youth Camp (send your children here. It really is the best 2 weeks of their lives filled with fun, food, and Christ!). We became fast friends and were in each others weddings. Just love this girl!

Cody and her hubs, Michael, have a beautiful house in town and an absolutely gorgeous and ginormous ranch about an hour outside of town (still in TX--no crossing the border on this trip).

Saturday morning the boys herded sheep. They found this little guy that got separated from his mom. We got to love on him before they took him to his new home where he will be bottle fed and loved on!






I thought about bringing this cute guy home, but the thought of waking every 3 hours to feed him was unappealing.




Some ranch views:






Somewhere along this path we encountered a rattlesnake. I had just told the group 'I'd like to see a rattlesnake'...little did I know Michael would almost step on the snake. Travis and Michael disposed of the rattler and he will no longer be able  to bother anybody.











Their ranch is full of bumper gates which means you just use the grill guard on your truck to push on thru. I love it, because the passenger doesn't have to do get out and open all the gates.









I did it!

We had a wonderful time relaxing, talking, and catching up on life. We love the Gruenwald's and can't wait to go see them again!

I'm On A Boat

The Riley Lake house was calling our name and we headed north to Horseshoe Bay for a quick getaway.

We met the crew at the famously delicious Bluebonnet Cafe for breakfast where Trav and I attempted to devour a cinnamon roll, but our eyes were bigger than our stomachs.

A trip to the lake wouldn't be complete without a stop at the local (very expensive) grocery store, J'mails.

This is where I spotted this pig:





The butcher informed us his name is George.

The remainder of our stay was spent in the sun, by the pool, on the boat ( errr Pontoon) driven by one handsome man, and dining on the patio.









I think he's so cute! Love me some Captain Riley.

Cruising through the canals of Applehead Island is one of my favorite things to do. I love dreaming which house we would buy. Problem is I don't have a spare $6 million.












It was a fast and quick trip so we could celebrate Mother's Day with Travis' parents. We hosted a little lunch at our house.







We had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed spending time celebrating Judi!

We weren't able to see my folks, so I found this picture and sent it to my mom. It's from Easter 1986 in my grandparents backyard.



Just love it! We get to see my parents this weekend. They will be Boerne bound for a fun weekend of shopping, golfing, and canoeing the Guadalupe!

How was your Mother's Day weekend?
