Dad got a bear!!!

So it's been 28 years but my dad finally got a bear! The bear was 170 pounds of steel. He wrestled it the whole way down the mountain and finally killed it with a knife. Ha, just kidding, his gun worked fine but he deserves this one. I'm so happy for him!

28 years and long overdue

So happy - Cheers Pops!

South Padre Island and being Allison's Lifeguard

I spent the past weekend soaking up the sun and volunteering on South Padre Island. I learned how to be Allison's Lifeguard and helped with a booth at the Kite Fest.

Allison with her prosthesis - if it comes off it is my job to scoop her out or she could drown.

Allison coming up for a breath - I take a breath of relief everytime

My view from my front lawn after coming home from spin class. I may not be able to walk tomorrow but the view was sure pretty.
