Dan Dunn: Paint Jam

In my previous post, I mentioned the artist that painted the paintings at the black tie benefit. This is one of the 3 he did for us that night. Enjoy!

Memorial weekend

Well this year our Memorial Weekend was quite eventful! Rusty is the Vice Pres of Bay Area Builders Association & this weekend was their benefit for Support the Troops. It started Thursday with a Golf Tourney, I didn't have to participate in this, but Rusty drove the beer cart! Friday night was a black tie function, that I was initially dreading, but it turned out to be really neat. I think they raised like $75,ooo which will build at least 3 injured soldiers a home valued at $300,000!!! We weren't done yet though, all day Saturday was a fundraising concert, Rusty and I both worked (a term I use loosely) there wasn't too much work but we watched Roger Craeger, Johnny Lee, Todd Fritsch, and Randy Rogers. I forgot my camera on Friday night so no fancy shmansy pictures of Rusty in a tux (or as Reagan called it a "botox"). There was someone taking pictures of the event I will try to get a picture soon. Part of the entertainment was a guy you may have seen on You Tube that paints on canvases to music, resulting in an amazing 6 foot by 6 foot piece of art. He painted 3 patriotic themed paintings that were auctioned off to raise more than $ 20,000. I captured video of one of the paintings so I will get that posted soon. As if we hadn't done enough we boiled shrimp and had our Moms over and a small handful of friends on Sunday. It was yummy, but sadly it seems as though my little buddy,Preston, wasn't tickled about Pearland. We will work on that, but I am so glad he wasn't getting sick! After the rains & our AC got up and running, the kids had a really great time swimming and playing. I have no idea why a long 3 day weekend has to fly by so fast...time flies when you are having fun!


Here we are with our new friend Johnny Lee, and he autographed the back of my shirt!Monday, we rode over and had ANOTHER swim at my mom's and the girls insisted we ride in the jeep...Happy Memorial Day!

Splashway Trip

What a great trip!

Ray, get your jammies on...

This is what you get, when you ask her to get her own clothes! I told her as I put her to bed tonight that she looked like Olivia Newton John & sang a little of "Let's Get Physical" she now wants it on her I Pod so she can learn EVERY word. I don't think she gets that I was not complimenting her on her fashion sense! Only she could be so cute in this get-up! By the way a few hours earlier the scarf was being used as a leash for the kitten!

Where to start...

I have been so neglectful keeping up lately! The past few days we have had Reagan in the hospital, and now we are home, running out of entertainment! I have yet to post some pictures from Easter, so I will. This Easter Rusty's grandmother was in the hospital and the weather was yucky so we decided not to go out of town as planned. We stayed home and went an Easter party, zoo, and Kemah (all on Saturday). Sunday the stomach bug hit and over the next 6 days we all went down! Now almost a month later, no one is in the hospital and the stomach bug is gone!! Hope you all had a Happy Easter, sorry this is so late!

All I Want to do...

I know that I have been terribly neglectful of the blog lately, and we are headed out today for a weekend at SFA State Park, so I will be brief. I do have some cute Easter pics and stuff to post and will get to it ASAP. Today's video is just a funny that a filmed of Reagan. If you are a FaceBooker you may have seen it already, but I wanted to put it on here too so I will have it as a part of my blog. If you haven't seen it Enjoy, if you have...Enjoy it again! :-) Have a super weekend, hope its not a total rainout! Oh and you may want to pause the music playlist to hear her sing!

Puddin'

Well...meet Puddin' DeBorde. If you mix a kid's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, Guy in the parking lot giving away free kittens, Rusty's soft heart...you get a Puddin' Ray is over the moon, she's been wanting a kitten, I've been holding her off. Kitty fits in nicely, he/she lives outside and Zsa Zsa treats her like her very own baby! We should really have our heads examined! Who stands outside Chuckie's, on a Sunday, giving away kittens? He was brilliant, but we didn't stand a chance! Look at that smile on Reagan's face though!!!!
