Brenden with cousins Jordan and Conor:

....the Texas oddities really shine. The bugs come out in hoards, the flowers bloom and the citrus fattens. I love walking around with my camera and catching all of those oddities. Here are some from my walk in my backyard:
The spiders here are simply unbelievable. Weird, creepy, you name it. These particular ones look like they have shells on them and they are all over the place. In the mornings, we walk outside and right into the webs that we just tore down the day before because they love to drape themselves across our entrance gate. They are determined little buggers: One has to stop and smell the roses sometimes you know. Here is Brenden a.k.a The Cute with his first whiff of beauty (well besides me).
Morning dew. I love it!
Above is a before and after pic taken today. He zonked out after all the shots that he just loved. The last picture was after he had a nap and was ready for a walk in the neighborhood with the family. A side note: his hair lately has grown enough to part in the middle on his forehead. We call it Olde Tyme hair. It reminds us of the 1920's guys hairstyle.. Cracks me up!
I have to give a thank you shout out to Shirley for giving him the cute onsie which I do find quite adorable.
Below shows the wiley face of the baby who just created the slipping hazard on the hardwood flooring:
Below is a picture I took last night before Dave went to the Marine Corps 233rd Birthday Ball. I stayed at home with his parents and Brenden. I think he looks smashing! Makes me want to watch my Top Gun DVD (I know Dave hates that movie)!
