PPROA Inaguration
In May I was selected as the new Panhandle Producers and Royalty Owner Association (PPROA) president. They just issued a nice newsletter that highlights it all. Also, a nice picture of the family on the first page.

Artist -> Princess
Landry told us today (while outside painting with Mommy) that God had made her into an artist. We agreed that God had, in fact, made her quite artistic. She then told us, "Yeah, but pretty soon God will make me back into a princess." Also true.

Cow Creek Adventure 2008
Our entire family went up to Cow Creek this past weekend and spent time fly fishing, horseback riding, shooting skeet, and telling stories around the campfire. It was a great time - and a great chance to spend time together. Cow Creek is in New Mexico just north of Santa Fe near the Pecos Wilderness.
Instead of posting pictures, I will post this videa that my brother David put together. He did a great job editing on this one . . . you can check out the link to his blog here .

Link-to-Cell Bluetooth Phone System
I bought this set sweet phone set for the house. I am super impressed by the panasonic KX-TH1211. Here is the review I wrote up for Amazon . . .
The KX-TH1212 is a great product. As far as phone features it has everything that I was looking for and needed:
1.) DECT 6.0 - my previous 2.8 gHz was interfering with the baby monitor and wi-fi.
2.) Call Waiting, Caller ID, Phone book, Intercoms
3.) Speakerphone
4.) Expandable (we needed 4 handsets for the house)
5.) Phones just need a plug
We did not need or want an answering machine. We use the Call Notes feature on our phone so an answering machine was unnecessary and bulky.
I LOVE the cell phone feature. I always leave my cell phone (usually by accident) on vibrate or in my jean pocket, or placed in the bathroom etc. Now once I am home, the home phone rings when I get a call on my cell. I set it up for a different ring tone so that I know it is coming from my cell.
The other bonus I hadn't thought about when I bought this is that the base unit can sit on its own. All of the handsets are independent. So I actually stuck the base unit in my computer area plugged into the land line. The phone units are spread around the house with only their charger nearby.
This is perfect to use at the ranch because we don't have a landline there, only cell service.

Very powerful service
This was from a service at our church a few weeks ago. Choked me up when I saw it live and did it agin when I watched this back.

Color of Ian's Eyes
Hmmm. After much debate over the little man's 7 months of life, We still don't really know. Sometimes they are green, sometimes hazel, sometimes grey. You be the judge!

Landry's Imaginary Friend
Landry's imagination is kicking into high gear. She now has an imaginary friend named Kurla. (this is spelled with a "K" as I was told very emphatically by my daughter).
We continue to find out more and more things about Kurla:
- She has pink hair (which is Landry's favorite color)
- She is Landry's sister, but they do not have have the same Mommy or Daddy
- She has a baby brother
- She likes to swing and go down the slide
- She has a doggy that has been sick lately

Landry's New Swingset
Landry's birthday present came a little early. I somehow conned my Dad into helping put together the Trailblazer Adventure Playset that we bought at Walmart for $299. Overall, I am very happy with it. The wood is good quality and the instructions were very detailed. Overall, it took us about 8 hours to put it all together with a couple of breaks for lunch, etc. The holes were all in place and the parts seemed to all be there. The overall swingset is very sturdy once you put the anchors in the ground.
And, as you can see, Landry is thrilled with the swingset. She keeps telling us how much she "Loves" her playground. She will literally swing for a hour straight if you let her.
