Reeling It In

Kaley girl is quite the fisherman. Before we went to the lake Flo went out and bought her a small $10 Dora fishing pole.



Thinking she would maybe catch a few perches. Well, little did he know that as soon as she put her pole in the water she would catch perch and the occasional catfish. She literally casts the line and catches a fish. She uses chicken, lunch meat, corn and even fish as bait.



It's a good thing Kaley can catch fish so quickly at the boat dock because I'm sure if it took any patience (like fishing usually does) then she would not have been at all interested.

Peaches For Lily

Lily has begun her eating adventure. This time I decided to make her baby food, instead of buy it. So in the morning she has smashed bananas or pears and in the evening it's either sweet potatoes or her favorite a PEACH. Flo was the first to discover her love for peaches. He was eating a peach and gave her a taste. Well..he never got his peach back. She actually stole it from him.


This is the first peach tasting.


And... this is the peach swipe. First time she's ever held anything on her own. haha. It was a good peach.


This is the funniest video. Check it out. She loves her peaches.

Gonzalez Gardens

Flo's dad plants a garden every summer that always produces the hottest peppers, the juiciest tomatoes and the most perfect potatoes. Among several other things. So this year we decided to give it a try. We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, basil, parsley, and cherry tomatoes. We started the garden in May and here it is in July:


We have had some luck with it. The cucumbers have done the best. Every once in awhile we get a tomato. The basil is flourishing and the cilantro was good while it lasted. It's a lot of fun checking the garden everyday to see what's growing. Plus the produce tastes so amazingly fresh.


We were very excited to find all these cucumbers in the garden when we got home from Oklahoma. The cucumbers have defiantly been our biggest success. We are averaging about a cucumber a day, sometimes two. They are so yum!


We are very proud of our petite garden, but it is nothing compared to the grow masters. This is Papa Gonzalez's SUPER garden. He grows just about everything in there. Next year we are going to expand and maybe someday ours will live up the master's.

Aquapoluzza and Brady/Brian Visit

Oh WOW. I am so sorry I have been lacking on the Blog posts, but I have been starting up my own business. Been very stressed and very busy. Check me out at BeachTansAustin.com.
Ok so we are home from Ok and this past weekend Brady and Brian came to visit. Also this weekend was Aquapoluzza week on the lake. Aquapoluzza is a BIG on the water concert, and Mom and Dad's Marina was putting the whole thing on and had events going all week. We pretty much spent the week at the lake swimming, fishing, eating and drinking. Here are a few pics.






Kaley caught about 20 fish over the week. Including some pretty big cat fish, and yes that is a $10 Dora pole.


The babies!!

Brady got to stay with his cool Auntie Meghan and Uncle Flo one night. He is such a good boy and we miss him so much.


Orey is now a boat dog.
