Another Project Complete

We always have projects going at our house.  One we've been working on the last few weeks is a "gun" cabinet for M's Nerf guns.  This was a family project and we all had a hand in it (see prior posts).  Well, we finally got it in place and full of Nerf guns today.  Let the wars begin!

The Bell

Faithful readers may recall we received a delivery a few months ago of an antique bell and other assorted antiques from The Bonners.  The bell has been faithfully waiting for its rightful place in the yard.  This has taken a lot of work on the part of my beloved.  First was to pour a concrete pad.  Next he built brick pillars with support in them.  Third we placed stone slabs on top of the bricks.  Finally, today, he was able to move the bell into it's new home.  We are all very happy to have the bell in its rightful place.  Welcome to your new home bell!

Coppell Opening Day Parade

Coppell held an Opening Day Parade for all of the rec kids.  The select team kids were there to cheer them on - go Coppell!!!


This is Bruiser with two of his teammates - yes they are that much smaller than him!


A serious baseball discussion going on here I'm sure.... or maybe not.


Boys lined up on the parade route cheering for the rec players.


Coach was nice enough to lift him up so he can see!


Bruiser carrying his teammate on his back, this was about the time they started to crash into the grass (thankfully it was grass).

GO RIDERS!

Full Weekend of Baseball!

We had a full weekend of baseball.  First the Cowboys had two games on Saturday, won one, lost one... here's Bruiser pitching, hitting and catching:


Next we had tickets to the Rangers' game against the Red Sox.  Opening Weekend!!  Rangers trounced the Sox including a GRAND SLAM HOME RUN!!!!  It was awesomeness!  Here's a pic of the boys at the Rangers game.


On Sunday, two more Cowboys games but had to bail on the second because of our next engagement.  The Cowboys won their first game!  Here's a pic of Bruiser sliding into home.


The greatest thing about this weekend - Bruiser broke his dry streak and HIT THE BALL!!!!!  Thanks to a lot of hard work and practice he managed to swing the bat and get some hits!



So, our second commitment for Sunday, the Riders Exhibition Opener against the Round Rock Express.  Riders didn't come out on top of that one but here's a pic of Bruiser at the game.



I'd say that's a full weekend of baseball!  Go Cowboys, Rangers and Riders but especially Go Bruiser!!

Bruiser the Welder!

Daddy has been trying to teach Bruiser all kinds of useful skills.  This week - welding!  Yep, welding!  Here are a couple of pics of their first lesson.



They were working on the nerf gun rack for the nerf gun cabinet.... we love our nerf guns!  Here's a photo of the finished weld - go Bruiser!
