TEXAS TRIP

.
As some of you know I've been gone for two weeks to Texas and just got home on Wednesday afternoon. I thought I would share with you some of the highlights of said trip.
.



This is Kevin & Logan just before Logan's baptism. Notice the halo around Logan's head... pretty cool.






.

The Family: Donelle, Kevin, Logan, Tessa, Kinsey









All dressed in whites ready to go.





.





Me fixing computer for slide show of Logan.




.
Day trip we took...

.


Kinsey & Logan -


"Oh come & try to get us - I have my stick!"





.







The Alligators won't get us here!










Maybe here though...








Look, here's a place we can get away from the Alligator's...

.




Won't get Logan here...





.


Or Tess either...
Not Kinsey...






And they won't even get Mommy...



.







Oh look, a Turtle, but NO Alligator...









Yikes! There's an Alligator!!!









"Stay back Grandma, I'll protect you!"





.
Aren't Grandkids great!?!?!?!!!!

I Shoulda Named this Smith's Life & Trials...

As you can see I've given myself a new face lift (well I have enough wrinkles I could actually use a physical face lift) but I'm talking about this blog. I felt like it was time to turn over a new leaf, so to speak, and the first order of business was working on this blog and hopefully posting more often too.
.
For three & a half years when we lived in Torrejon Spain, I wrote family newsletters back home titled: "The Life and Trials of the Smith's in Spain" detailing the many amazing things that happened to myself, my husband and our seven children while living there and the awesome life the Spaniards lived; how we adjusted to living in "their world" etc. But when I got home all such writings ceased. Now I'm thinking its about time to start recording events in my life a little more regularly. What better place to record it than here! :O)
.
I thought I shoulda named this blog something like "The Smith's Life & Trials" or "Joyce's Life and Trials" but I just like the sound of Zany G's World much better, so there you have it...
