Where seldom is heard a discouraging word...

We went to the family's cabin in Childress, TX (which is right between Quanah and Estelline, thanks for asking) for the long weekend. Below are the pictures to come out of it all ( Read more... )

Can I be creepy and just say WOAH at you and your family's eyes? Intense is not the word. Something intense-er.

:P

The color? Or...something else?

elvishly January 18 2011, 03:41:59 UTC

Colour/detail. Kind of like... the sparkly shiny bits. :X (*insert technical term here*)

True. They all have a different color blue. And AJ has these little gold flecks in his.

I have mottled greenish brown. :P

I looked at all the pictures. My favorite is of you hugging/holding Katie Bell.

I was laughing in that one because she is SO not a lap dog. She's HEAVY.

How ARE YOU? I hear you have foot trouble. I'm praying for your recovery and that you get all your stuff done at work by Friday.

maureen January 18 2011, 12:17:50 UTC

Whatever, man... it works. You gals look adorable in the photo.

Overall, I'm actually pretty good. This particular week isn't fun on account of the foot thing and the audit deadline, but even given that I'm feeling pretty steady and even. I think I'm in a remarkably good mood this morning, considering I've had like two hours of sleep.

Awww the strangely dressed youth are ADORABLE with their crane! And poor Nolan and the weedwacker! Jay's had that problem before too - and it was just as amusing. LOL!

I adore all your pictures. The boys in their super bright toques - and the dogs chasing after the cattle - and you looking just as gorgeous as always.

Thanks for sharing your weekend with us!

Aw. You're welcome. We had a great time.

Those are some pretty precious pictures, hon! Looks like you guys had a great time, and man. Those kids of yours are going to be some kind of heartbreakers when they get older.

And they totally look just like you and Nolan! That's kind of awesome, right there.

carrie_leigh January 19 2011, 04:19:47 UTC

Ugh. Little girls already come around. I don't like it.

Thanks! No one but Ursula ever tells me that they look like me! Little Nolan clones, sure...

filia_umbrae January 19 2011, 04:41:38 UTC

Hahaha. I think they've got a pretty good mix of both of your features. The boys definitely take their facial expressions from you, which is pretty awesome ^_^

Eeeewwww, Carrie! Dead bird! And the boys touched it! Gosh, they are SO cute! Eeewwwwww! *runs away screaming*

I like the moo cows better. *nods* This looked like absolute fun! I would have had a ball! :D

Parenting is a gradual letting go. I don't wanna. Me neither! Hold tight! xD

carrie_leigh January 19 2011, 04:20:30 UTC

Believe you me, I was GROSSED OUT. Completely.

heyurs January 20 2011, 03:01:02 UTC

They would have been running from me. I would have scrubbed them up and down and inside out! "Momma, don't let that crazy Ms. Urs know about the dead birds anymore, please!"
