In Lewisville, Texas For a Bit!

We have been in the Lewisville area 

now for the past month.

It has been great to spend time with

family here!

Plus we get to do fun things like 

take Grizz and Bailey to 

the Vet for their 6 month

checks . . . . 

Get our dental and physical

checks . . . 

all fun stuff!!!  :-)

 We spent a month at a campground that

we stayed in quite a bit when

we first moved down 

to Texas, Pilot Knoll Campground.

We really enjoy it there,

the sites are large, lots of trees, lake view from most all sites,

just really lovely.

Above, Robert has the fire pit ready

and going . . . .

Heather, Kevin, Mace and Kaelan

and Mary Ellen and Kelcy

were able to come out for the

evening and we

cooked "Hobo Dinners" over

the fire, and rounded it out with 

S'mores!  YUM!

Mace looks like he is telling a story . . . . 

and below, 

KJ and Kev pose for a photo.

There was much laughing, of course!

Mary Ellen and Kelcy--- we all had a good time!

 We don't get to see MaryEllen and 

Kelcy as often as we would

like, as they live 

a bit further, 

in North Richland Hills.

They both have busy

work schedules . . . . . . . 

(We can relate  . . .)

We were just missing Jason

and family and Derek

and family. . . . 

Next time!

We also had the treat of being able 

to go to another Track Meet!

This Meet was one of Mace's ----

his very first in fact!

Mace throws Discus for his track 

team.

"The Wind-up"

Mace does 2 "wind-ups" and on the 3rd time,
he throws

Above, when he threw the discus, his glasses came up onto his forehead!

Power!

Checking his throw distance

Mace took 4th place in the Meet and

came in 3rd place for his team.

Pretty good for his first time!

Mace is in 7th grade now.  He 

is taking all the pre-AP classes that he can.

He is in his 2nd year of playing viola

in his school's orchestra.  (He has improved

so much since last year, and he loves it!)

He is the grandchild who used to

say "Grandma, do you have any

music without words. . . .

you know, like a soundtrack to

Lord of the Rings"!

(He is also the one who knew that I would 

love the PianoGuys!)

He loves school, loves reading, researching

and has been working on writing

his own "Marvel" type comic strip.

Kaelan is in 1st grade.  He loves school, 

adores his teacher (Heather said that

she learned early in the year not to

challenge anything that his teacher said!)

 and 

cannot read enough!

He is still a lover of cars of all sorts,

and planes.  He knows most cars

and planes on sight . . . .

he is quite the gamer---playing racing games!

He is energy incarnate!

He talks non-stop . . . .   Gramps says you can

tell when KJ (his nickname) is asleep . . . 

he is quiet!

KJ is also a lover of music, but tends to

go for "Mom's Music"---rock.  :-)

He loved the song "What Does the Fox Say"! 

Good-bye from Texas. . . . .  

Till Later, Y'all!
