Around Town

While a small town definitely has its upside there are also many downs. This is highlarious -- here is the sign announcing the Clovis farmers market. Of course we were looking forward to going and getting as much tasty fruits and vegggies as possible (until the garden was producing). It says Saturday at 8am, so we headed out just before 9am.

Here is the Clovis Farmer's Market in full swing!! It's a one man show. We went by the following weekend and this same nice man was there and he had a friend. TWO people selling some veggies out of their pick ups! The conclusion I have made is DO NOT rush to get two young children dressed and fed to go to the Farmer's Market.

Here is an upside ... Clovis has it's own MATER!!!!! If you don't know who Mater is, come visit! Logan would love to teach you all about Mater.

Logan loves trains thus we often seek them out. Lucky or us they have a decent size depot here and we often see and hear trains.

Just in interesting yard sculpture.


Trying Our Thumbs At Fruit

This year Tim decided to plant some fruit. So far we have many watermelons (11) and cantaloupe!

Here is a shot of a few of them together. Stand by for a report on how tasty they are.

Moxie wanted in the shot.

Logan's First Fishing Trip

For the 4th of July weekend Tim rented a fishing boat. He, Logan and Papa went out the first day. Logan was the BIG FISHERMAN and caught the ONLY fish. He caught three fish total and they ended up being the biggest fish caught all weekend.

Someday when he is a pro bass fisherman we will have this photo of the first bass he caught.
Here he is keeping his eye on the fish. Soooo cute.
All tuckered out. In order to go fishing he missed his nap. Here Dad makes a good pillow.

Mom went out on the boat another day. Here is a photo to document she does exist. This was on the 4th of July. Mom had to go to show Logan how Lakes are also for swimming! Mom was the only person to swim in the lake all weekend.

Just the boys out fishing. Well, maybe I shouldn't say that. After all Shane wasn't there. Sadly this wasn't Shane's first fishing or boating trip. It was an hour and a half drive and although we got lucky with an overcast day it was very sunny with no shade. Shane is very WHITE. Or as others like to sat "fair skinned". Something tells me Shane would have only enjoyed this adventure for maybe 5 minutes. This would have been a real joy for Mom so Shane stayed home.

Monkeyin' Around

Here are my 3 monkies at play. This was just this week in case you are wondering ...

Logan hammed it up for me and I got some funny shots. he recently got his hair cut as well. To me it looks silly cut straight across but I am just glad he got it cut and didnt cry!!


Shane also enjoys the swing! Now the fun of taking turns begins. Age 6 mos and 2 yrs old.
Here is where Tim tries to kick me.
