Bailie's dance recital

Bailie had her dance recital a few weeks ago and she did great! She was a little nervous because she was a leader in two dances and the little girls where watching her for the steps to the dance. Here are a few pictures, they aren't that great because where were not supposed to take pictures during the recital so my flash was off.

The note

Steve's brother found this "suicide" note in the wall when they where gutting one of the bedrooms. We are not sure if it is a prank or not.

The "haunted" house

Steve's brother bought a house in Galveston that was built in 1912. He is restoring it to it's original state and it's haunted! Apparently a door bell goes off, there is no door bell in the house and there never has been. Also the doors upstairs close on there own. I have never experinced these things yet but several family members and contractors have.

Back (do you see the little girl in the upstairs window?) I took this picture from the garage apartment, no one was in the house at the time. It could be the reflection from the window OR it could be something else...........

Here are some pictures from his birthday.

We got his cake from The Cake Lady, they did a great job.



Always a good time when we can embarrass Mason.
