It's H-O-T in Texas!!!!

Cocoa has been found sleeping like this on hot nights. Crazy dog ... crazy Texas.
We quickly acclimated ourselves to the cooler weather of the Midwest & it's taking us a little longer to get use to Texas heat again. Oh well, sorry for the low quality camera phone picture.

Eebe Jeebes

Last night Brant turned on the shower to clean up from mowing the lawn. Aghhhhhh .... all of a sudden swarms of bugs came out of the tile work above. I guess they were trying to get a peep show or something. He ran upstairs to take a shower & I grabbed a snack bag & trapped a couple. Off to Home Depot we went. (Sorry Rick, if you read this. It's right around the corner)
We & the worker thought they were ants so we bought what we needed & sprayed around the top of the shower killing them instantly. Brant also sprayed around the base of the house. The stuff they recommended apparently is safe after it dries. I guess it's not as bad as some other chemicals that are hazardous dry or wet.
I guess me not wanting loads of chemicals in the house to toxify our water supply, harm our bodies or our dog didn't help. We've never had any major bug problems before. I like to keep a few spiders around to help naturally kill off unwelcome visitors.
Eebe Jeebes!!!

My Day ...
So I have been temping for the last week. What a pleasant distraction in my life right now. I love it!

Grillin' Excellence ...
Here is a picture of a "perfect" grilling moment Brant had a while back. Enjoy!

Family Reunion

We had a blast at the reunion this past weekend. It didn't even seam like there were 70 of us. I only took a few pictures. Mostly at the family fund auction & the Albuquerque aquarium.

Enjoy these pictures.
Yep the tarantula was the life of the auction. Ethan won it & Lilly asked her uncle Nathan to catch her one for her b-day!
Which one is the fish???

As Russ would say ... "But wait there's MORE!!!"

Get me out of this house!

I went on a 2nd job interview for the Dallas Business Journal. I go in for a final interview next week after the holiday. I can't wait to get working again & get out of this house ;)
