Its for the Birds (3/23/2010)

Jackie heard some commotion outside and when she opened the back door a flock of birds flew off. Ok, so they ran out of food a day ago. They found my bird seed on the back porch and ripped the bag open and went to town.

Lesson: Don't forget to feed the birds or they will remind you themselves

Finished with the Swing Set (3/19/2010)

Here is the Before>>>
Here is the After>>>

Here is the After >>>

Here it is with the roof. I haven't attached the swing arm yet it is propped up there. I must say this turned out better than I thought. Notice the roof.

Lesson: It takes a lot longer than you think to paint a swing set and trying to get a 4 year old to help is kind of a lost cause.

I'm back - 3/18/2010

Well Lets see a lot has happened since last year.

Let me number a few:

1. New Daughter

2. New Nephew

3. Moved into New Football Stadium (turf with jumbo-tron)

4. Made football playoffs

5. 8th grade won Football District Championship

6. Went to Las Vegas

7. Purchased I-Phone

8. Record Snowfall

9. Won our first trackmeet

10. Mother-In-Law moved here from Port Aransas

11. And I have a new lease on life. Everyone use to make me mad over the stupidest things that were completely none of my business and out of my control. I have learned that life is to short. I can only control my life and it is not worth getting aggrivated over silly stuff. With that said I am going to make an effort to do my blog. I want this to be like a 365, but if I miss a day because of games or track meets, I miss a day. Last year I stopped doing it because We went on Vacation and when we got back I was so far behind.....

I am a Coach and Teacher at a small Texas town of about 5000 people. And yes #3 said turf field and jumbo tron with a 2 stroy press box. Texas Football!!!!!

Here is What I was up to today >>>

Well the last coouple of days have been between 60 and 70 degrees. (By the Way - It is suppose to snow here on Saturday) I got a smoker for Christmas so I broke it in today Baby back Ribs 200 degrees for 5 hours - Awsome!!!

I got my oldest daughter a used Swing Set. First of all Swing sets like this are running about $1500. Little Carzy. So this one was given to me for free if I come and get it. Here is the main tower. I am going to fix it. Stand by for the finished product.

Here is the ladder to the tower. Again Stand by for the final product. Coming soon...
