The quilt was this year's scholarship quilt, so beautiful, makes me want to learn to quilt.!! They auctioned it off at the end of the livestock show, but I don't know how much they got for it.
This was Ryan's pig this year named Turbo!!
This is the load of some of the prizes
they won for all their efforts. Nice!!!
This is the BBQ trailer that Ryan and Wyatt built for the shop project at the Nueces County Livestock Show. They won first in their class and first in their division. They had a silent auction and was sold for $3500.00. Good job guys, we are really proud of you.

I miss you so much. Love you.
August 26, 2011 we left Corpus Christi at 5:00 p.m. and headed to El Paso for my Daddy's memorial. We got to Van Horn at about 2:00 a.m. and sleep for a few hours until 7:30 and drove to the church for the service on Saturday 27, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. It was a very nice service and was really great to see some family that I haven't seen in years. Sunday morning we started back to Corpus Christi, Did I mention that we all drove in my SUV: David, Me, Ryan, Bobby, Chance and Jessica. It really wasn't that bad, good family time!

What beautiful little girls!!

Parker's 4th birthday and (Sammy's birthday was August 17th) was on that Friday, so after the service on Saturday, we had a party for her and celebrated my Daddy's life.

comforted to know he is in Heaven.

One of the main reasons for the trip to El Paso was to see my daddy.
He has been in the hospital for a very long time. please pray for him.
He has just been moved to a very intense rehab. Hopefully he will get
to go home real soon. This was the day he got to go outside and see all
the grand & great grand baby's.
Dallas is a hoot, I can't believe how much she has grown.

Parker & I got to spend a lot of time together this trip, so much fun.

Ryans' pig "Jam Bone" was sold at the blue ribbon
auction on Saturday. Ryan was very sad, but

knew that was what happens! He got 10th

place which was very good for being his first

year to show an animal. He also got a
showmenship ribbon.
Great job even after dealing with his broke leg.!

Ryan Bush, 15, with the Tuloso-Midway FFA, walks his pig around the arena during judging at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds in Robstown on Thursday

Parker applying lip gloss!!

Henry came home from Iraq on Dec. 18 and him Ashley and Parker surprised us on Dec. 22. What a Christmas present. Thanks Ashley for sharing your husband only four days after getting home.

2009-12-01T20:10:00.003-06:00

Isn't that just weird looking!

Today was a big day for Ryan. He had his two pins removed from his ankle. Everything went really well, very little pain or discomfort. X-rays looked real good and everything in place. They recasted it and in a few days he will be able to put a little pressure on it.

2009-11-21T13:52:00.002-06:00

David has been busy this weekend. Got him an eight pointer. WOW!

This is somewhere in San Angelo, TX . Thanks Benny for taking

David with you.

2009-11-03T20:47:00.003-06:00

So we went to the doctors today for Ryan's first post op appt. They did x-rays and everything looked really good! They took the spacers out and reapplied casting material. WOW new design. Not quite digicam, but we tried.

2009-10-31T13:09:00.006-05:00

So this is how we started off on Tuesday!!
Ryan was at football pratice when I got the call.
Took him to the emergency room, did the x-rays,
and got in a room. And then it was the longest wait of
all our lives. They did'nt do surgery until Wednesday at
3:30p.m. It was agonizing. Ryan is one tuff cookie!!
He is doing much better now.

2009-10-24T20:44:00.003-05:00

2009-10-24T20:11:00.002-05:00

I call him Oscar, but Ryan says that's mean.

Ryan's pig for FFA. That's Future Farmers of America for Ashley. Just teasing!!

2009-08-04T19:04:00.002-05:00

I have really got to post again some day. We have just been so busy that I have'nt had time. That and my camera battery has been died. So I'll try and get pictures up by this weekend.

2009-02-27T22:18:00.000-06:00

Ryan gave the saddle rack to Bro. Welder.

Ryan made this saddle rack for his FFA project for the
Junior livestock show. He got 6th place, not bad for his first
project.

2009-02-27T22:01:00.000-06:00

Ok so it's been awhile, but here is part of the new floor.

This past weekend we went to Comfort, TX so that David and Ryan
could shoot. The whole weekend ended up really bad.
David was and is still very sick. A trip to the ER. Then on the way
home my car broke down and is in Kerrville being fixed!

Ryan's gun jammed up, so shooting was not so great.

We did enjoy seeing some very dear friends and the weather was really great!
