Happy Halloween 2007

Even Hans got into the act. Although I don't think he liked it.

A Pupsicle

Poor Hans. He was just too cold to get out of bed Friday morning so wrapped himself in my sheet and stayed there until I went to wake up the boys. He can't miss that part of the morning.

Update on my Pupsicle...

Seems the dinglebrain has been eating acorns and china berries in the backyard and they made him terribly sick. One night in the ER and a call to poison control, a cath with fluids and a check up by his regular vet and the baby is home. Grandma says he's not acting like his usual self but he'll be ok as long as he doesn't eat anymore china berries. Needless to say, the tree is coming down. It's cheaper than a sick dog, I tell ya!

PUPPY PICTURE

Mud came over with Max and we shot this picture while they were there.

Dogs do know how to relax.

Trip to Minnesota

I took my kids to a family reunion in Minnesota.

We stayed at a house by the lake.

We saw some black bears...

did some fishing...

saw Paul Bunyon and Babe...

and went to the family reunion...

This is the tattoo Dean got as a tribute to Dale. I love it.

New Addition To The Family

HANS ANTON NOVAK

The dog got his name from Mud's first Hans and, since he was born on Anthony's birthday, we gave him the name Anton. The boys love having him around but it's a bit like having a newborn again...oy!

Trip to South Padre Island

Here are a few pictures from our trip to SPI. It rained one day but we still managed to have fun. Enjoy!

Fun at Fiesta Texas

Marissa got free tickets so we all went and had a great time. The water rides were best though. Next time I'm getting in the water!!

This picture cracks me up. LOL!!!

I love Foghorn Leghorn. :)

Nap's 75th Birthday Party

A great time was had by all...especially Dad. The weather was perfect - ok, we had one small shower during the party. Here are a few pictures of the day...enjoy!

BISD Orchestra Spring Concert 2007

Last night was a big night for James and the BISD orchestra. It was their 2007 Spring concert and James' first time to play violin in front of an audience.

He did a GREAT job!

I'm always so pleased when they prove to the world that they have talent and show it!

And then there are those other moments....

God bless my sons. :)

2007 Fiesta Pooch Parade

Back on April 27th during Fiesta Week, the annual Pooch Parade took place in Alamo Heights. There were more dogs than I've ever seen.

Some were precious...

Some were ridiculous...

and one was family...

It was a 3 mile walk (uphill...BOTH WAYS!) but it was fun. The kids loved seeing all the dogs.

The boys walked Laura's dogs, Cosmo and Rowdy. It was good for them to get out of the house and be around some dogs and people.

Next year, though, I'm working out ahead of time!!

First Blog

Greetings friends and family! Welcome the Hernandez Novak Family Blog. Here's where you can see what's happening in our world at any time. Sometimes I'll post, sometimes Marissa will post; I may even let the boys post once in awhile.

So pour yourself a cup o' coffee or pop open a beer, relax and enjoy.
