Happenings

Well we had a great weekend and some special visitors! The Belew's (Lane's cousins) came down and we spent the day eating at Smolik's, followed by swimming at Mom and Dad's and then enjoying a steak dinner and visiting while the kids played. I managed to NOT take pictures-way to go Elaine! so I don't have any to post of Megan and Bill's precious children-Charles, Corley, and Minnie. Each of them are just a joy. Our time visiting with them is always too short, but we sure do thank them for coming to see us at the end of their San Antonio vacation. We REALLY enjoyed yall! Come back soon, please :) Saturday night Lane and I headed to town for a big dinner out..hehe. We went to the taqueria for some yummy Mexican food. Lena Kate stayed with Mimi and Papa so we could enjoy dinner. I know she had much more fun with them anyway. Sunday we went to church and just hung out.

Monday night we got to hear Spike Dikes (famed Texas Tech coach) speak at a Chamber of Commerce dinner in Alice. He was a speaker. You know someone is good when you remember every point. If you want to succeed you must have: Ambition, Believe, Commitment, Dare, Enthusiasm, Feeling. I also loved his point about telling those you love that you do so and believing in God. Both mean so much! This is nice to hear from a West Texas man. I think I could've listened to him talk for quite awhile. You can tell he is passionate about what he says and does and is very genuine. I'm an Aggie but can respect that Tech coach :)

I don't have many good pictures lately because Lena Kate now says, "Nooooo," and turns her head when I pull out the camera and ask her to say cheese. If she does oblige her mother I get her cheese face....such as this.

I get lots of these too. Cute-yes, but not what I was going for. I guess we all know who the boss is!

How about a little visual of Lena Kate taking her baby for a ride.
