Demolition Time!

We had another busy weekend demolishing what was left of our bathroom. We started Friday night with the removing the sink, cabinets, and studs. Then Kelli surprised us on Saturday while we were away and had the walls completely down to studs. I think that she may have picked the wrong profession. Sunday was the major day for clean up. Kelli and I made a couple of trips out to the farm with lots and lots of sheet rock.

The picture here is on Sunday and Ryan removing some of the last nails. We are now ready to take out the floor. Stay tuned for more pictures.

Fishing Trip To Matagorda



Had a great fishing weekend with Some good friends Kench and Lindsey. We went down for the weekend to there home in Port Lavaca. Saturday morning we left at 4:30, got bait and were on the water by 6:30 in Matagorda.

Lindsey and Kench were hitting them hard early and Kim hooked into something that ran hard and she fought it for about 35 minutes. Got it to the boat and it wouldnt come up. Must have been a huge ray. We cut the line and went back to fishing.

I started to get into a few trout and ended up with only 5 but in the range of 19-22 inches. Solid stringer. Lindsey and Kench cought the rest of them and Kim had a few undersize fish and spent the morning getting over the battle with the big ray.

We decided to go in at about 10:00 running out of bait and with a bite slowing down and had 22 total trout.

Kench caught a nice 28 incher for the days big fish.

Then back to the house to clean up and head out to Poco Bueno. There we got to see a huge blue marlin come in for a weigh. 508 lbs! The boats that came in were incredible and more expensive to run the thing on gas that weekend than most of the things we own! Rumor has it that the entry fee was 10000 dollars and by invitation only.

Back to the house by 900 and hit the bed pretty early. (Up at 4 am without a nap wore us all out.)

So, to sum it all up.... Did a little fishing, some hunting ealy sunday morning, watched two movies, ate some good food and had a great time! Here are some picture from the fishing trip!

Its been a bit since I have posted, that is because we have been so busy. We haven't been home the past two weekends. The weekend after father's day, the girls (Mom, Kelli and I) went to Dallas for Market...shopping Christmas for the store. Everything was fine until my AC deceided not to work all the way to Dallas! Talk about miserable but made it okay. The rest of the weekend went fine only to leave again a couple of days later.

Last weekend, the Kainer's and the Bergers went to float the Guadalupe River! It was great, there were not alot of people floating and the water level was high enough that we didn't have to walk. Only one time, did I stand to push myself off of a big rock. I will post pictures of dad and ryan's water gun fight as soon as I can. Oh yeah, DAD FLOATED TOO!

This weekend, July 4th. I worked, but luckily there was plenty of time to hang out at the river with Angela and Carl, Betty and Emmel, mom and dad, and Hugo and Deena. We shot skeet, drank some beer, and barbaqued. We had a perfect and relaxing forth of July!


Here are a few pictures of some darn good shooting!
