Missed Mother's Day visit!

I have to share a picture from this visit that Mom, J, B & the littlest redhead made to Louisiana for Mother's Day! I wish I could have joined them as I hear they had a fantastic visit!

This picture absolutely warms my heart! The smile on my grandmother's face says it all! :)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND TO ALL THE MOM'S OUT THERE!!!

Pool Opening Day & Birthday Happiness!

We spent a fun weekend with the Lakota tribe!! Time for POOL DAY!!! Splashing and plant trimming with a few brewskis made it a fantastic afternoon!!

Chief Fuzzy Bear and Dances on Stix brought a wonderful birthday surprise for me and all of us!!! The most remarkable SUSHI feast EVER!!!! It was a great weekend full of some incredible moments of Lakota family time!! I loved every minute of it!!

Thanks SOOOOOOOOO much for the awesome birthday goodness M & B!! YOU TWO ROCK!!! :)

2 YEARS!!??!! & A Cowboy Birthday!!

My little wrangler nephew and his fellow cowpokes joined up for a whooping & hollerin' birthday celebratin' bubble blowin' hotdog eatin' afternoon down yonder in a little town they call Cesear! You never saw such COWBOY action---> there was even a cowboy hat wearin' cacti [N' rattlesnake too] for targets from the watergun slingin' brood! Some lil' cowgirls tried their hand at mustang ropin' and ended by playin' with Cowboy Earl for some hulahoopin' trickery & action!! All in all the whole buncha folks what gathered seemed to pass a good time!!

(oops! Seems a little cajun injection happened there at the end of CowSpeak *rofl*)

ENJOY the precious pics of our littlest McCoy cowboy!! :)

Baby blue eyes! :)

OH NO!!! The sniped pictures are SO SMALL!!! I'll try to fix this soon but get out your glasses girls & guys -->these pix are TOOOOOOO cute to miss!

Takin' a ride round the bend on little Sota (who was bought WAY before the birth of the boy on a trip to Minnesota! His twin Sippi {bought in Mississippi of course} stayed on the ranch and missed the party)

Blowin' out those candles! He has been in training for this moment for nearly a year now!! :) ADORABLE...just look at those cheeks! :)

Here is the best cowboy cake a boy could ask for! Designed and created with love by his Mom & Dad!

Now can you believe these cuties??? This is Andy with his favorite cowgirl, Jenna! They are buddies daily-->and I hear Jenna tells everyone she has a little brother! :) SO CUTE!!

May Day Madness

What a May Day we had today!!! Lots of dust, cobwebs, geckos, and boxes!! Memories of 9 fast years gone by abound!! One storage unit 90%ish cleaned OUT!! YIPEE!!! GO TEAM McCoy/Malwitz!!!

Wandering around in New Orleans...

Day two of our mini vacation began with breakfast at Brennan's! We had a great time with a fabulous wait staff! The delight of my morning was fruity-licious!! Strawberries with double cream and Bananas Foster---> YUM!!! We won't discuss the insurmountable amount of calories consumed during this meal...OF COURSE!!!

We enjoyed a pit stop at our favorite Bienville Street Gallery! Always things to learn for the artistically challenged!

Midday found us walking the streets in the good company of my Dad :)! It was fun to show M. many parts of the Quarter he hasn't experienced before...

Street musicians & soul of the French Quarter

Balconies of iron

Shady Esplanade

French Quarter living

One of my absolute favesies!! Where else can you purchase spiked Koolaid for ridiculous prices in a crazy glass you don't need singing at the top of your lungs in the piano bar???!!! Rest in peace dear Eddie!

Scenes from the park...

I'm backdating again but bear with me life is as busy as ever! :)

M and I had a fabulous two days soaking up the city I love! I got a rare chance to share some of the places dear to me with my sweetie. After our usual mishaps and shenanigans, we actually made the park in time for a terrific picnic....a nice walk...and a drive by the museum & sculpture garden!

Our first day ended as it should ;) ...on Bourbon Street!! WOOHOO!! (and somewhere in the distance they heard..."Let's party like rock stars!!" *ROFL* (maybe 10 years ago...) Oh yes, we were in bed by 1:30am!! I know, I know....it's shameful!

I NEEDED IT!! Enjoy the pictures! :)


This little one joined us for our picnic! I thought he might ACTUALLY sit down with us for a few moments!


Who loves to feed the birds....ducks....fish....pigeons :) ME!! M snapped this cool pic of my adoring fans as I doled out the goodies!

Regal beauty! I wonder how long these guys have stood guard over the pavilion in the park?? I can remember climbing on them when I was 4...3?? AND THAT WASN'T JUST YESTERDAY ;)
The gloaming on Bourbon & view from our balcony!

Anyone guess where this is? ALL my peeps---> YOU know this one!! :)

On our way to the Frog Farm!

We are packed up & ready to roll out!!! I can't even express how much we need to get away! :) So...we are off to the Frog Farm to see what adventures we might have! With a day trip to NOLA in our plans as well....its about time to show my sweetie more of my roots and why I love them!!

I'm sure we will return with many pics of a certain little redhead who will be turning 2 next weekend!! Stay tuned....

Praying for safe travel and safe return home!! Hugs from Houston!!
