Well, what can I say.... we had the most interesting night on 12/6/08... we had a once in a lifetime opportunity to track a buffalo! Yes, that's right, a buffalo!!!

A gentleman who lives about 1/2 mile north of us, had 3 and the daddy Buffalo got out... we tracked him for about 2 hours (with the owner and the Aledo Fire Dept) but then just when we thought we could have trapped him and into a stock trailer... he jumped a small fence and disappeared into the night once again! Dang was it cold outside as well.... I think we'll call Mr. Moritz (of course he owns a car dealership) later today to see what happened to his buffalo!

Woo hoo the OU Sooners won and Josh is excited as usual! Now OU will kick the gators butts!

Well, need to finish chores (oh joy)

Happy Holidays

Not much is going on - except my sister is moving from Alabama to Texas - woo hoo! Jason FINALLY got a golf job close to us :) It'll be nice to have all the boys and of course Ms Hollywood together for longer than a week!

All is well, the horses are doing well, except for this tremendous downpour, I'm sure they're trying NOT to float away - LOL... Josh is doing great, he's trying out for Region Band (wish him luck) and he is first chair with the trombone in his band (they're 3 at the middle school!) Their Christmas concert is December 16th - can't wait to hear it! Though Josh has been playing several times... he did a performance with the high school band and as a 1/2 time performance for the high school (who was in San Antonio at a competition - which they won!) Here's the link to the youtube sight to hear the middle school band - they're pretty good!

Hope all is well with everyone - will post more later!
