Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 4}

Today is just a little Tuesday funny about Crawfish. When he was a puppy, about six months old, we took him to the vet for his next set of vaccinations. We go to a local vet that we’ve become friends with that we really like. He and I were talking, most likely about our daughter…… Continue reading Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 4}

Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 3}

We have loved bullmastiffs for as long as we’ve had one. But what you don’t necessarily realize before you have one, is that they are not exactly mobile friendly. They did not go to Herman Boone’s football camp, and they are not mobile, agile, hostile (the not hostile part is ideal, the mobile, agile part,…… Continue reading Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 3}

Basketball… We’re Playing Basketball

(If you didn’t sing that title, you are probably not a millenial 😉). This Saturday kicked off basketball season! Our school district runs a basketball league from mid January- mid February for kindergarten through sixth grade. Kindergarten is co-ed, and is for learning the fundamentals. They play half court four-on-four with the goal as low…… Continue reading Basketball… We’re Playing Basketball

Red Bank Recap- 1.12.23

Happy Friday, friends! Here in west Texas we are staring down the barrel of a deteriorating weather weekend, with crazy cold temps on Sunday night into Monday. The last I looked there wasn’t a possibility of snow from the moisture standpoint, but those kind of temps. I’m so thankful we already have Monday off school…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 1.12.23

Red Bank Recipes- Small Batch Tomato Soup

I love tomato soup- it’s probably my favorite of all the soups. I mean, I love a lot of different soups, but to eat with a sandwich, tomato is my favorite. Normally I keep a few cans of Campbell’s tomato in the pantry along with Progresso chicken noodle (Steven’s fave) for the occasion we decide…… Continue reading Red Bank Recipes- Small Batch Tomato Soup

Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 2}

While slightly unconventional, Crawfish is a ranch dog. He’s not your typical cattle herding, swift, agile, perceptive, traditional ranch dog, but that kid loves him some time at the ranch. He gets winded pretty easily, and needs to ride in the back of the Gator or the truck. Mostly he barks at the cows and…… Continue reading Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 2}

Ins and Outs- 2024

We have never been super serious resolution people. We typically have some goals we’d like to accomplish, and it’s typically the usual suspects- eat healthier, exercise more, watch less TV, etc. I’ve noticed this year that it is trending to not share resolutions, but rather “ins” and “outs”. As in fill-in-the-blank is “in”, and fill-in-the-blank…… Continue reading Ins and Outs- 2024

Red Bank Recap- 1.5.24

I can’t believe it’s the first week of 2024! For the last several years, it seems like January lasts for 27 months, and then the rest of the spring moves like a bullet train from Liv’s birthday in February to our anniversary in March, to Henry’s birthday in April, then the end of the school…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 1.5.24

Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 1}

As I’ve mentioned before, we were devastated to lose our sweet Boudreaux back in May. He was truly the absolute best dog there was, and we still miss him every day. We know we would never be able to replace him, but we also know that we love bullmastiffs, and missed having one (Amos doesn’t…… Continue reading Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 1}

Red Bank Recap- 12.29.23

If this were an episode of “Friends”, it would be called The One with All the Christmases because all we’ve done this week is Christmas it seems! And hang out at the ranch, of course 😉 Steven had last Friday off, so we took Crawfish out to play at the new ranch. We had time…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 12.29.23
