Texas: Chilling out in Olney

I spent a lot of time with Nonny this year, documenting recipes and taking pics for a family cookbook. Shelby was usually napping when we began and by the end would come to Nonny's to hang out. She had a United States puzzle and he was sooo excited about all the states he could name and had visited.Then we were back out to the farm house for daily chores. Here Shelby was loving the horses....until the baby thought it was a game and nipped at him! He was a hysterical, crying mess and wanted nothing to do with the horses the rest of the trip.
Before we flew out there, Shelby saw a commercial for this cookie maker thing. He called Nonna and asked if she would get it for his visit and they could make cookies together. The next day I had an email with her order confirmation. (spoiled much?)
FYI....this crap looks WAYYYYY easier on the commercial than it is in person.
Shelby learned a new word this year. Nonna said, "that looks like a terd, Shelby."

"What's a terd, Nonna?"

"umm...."

(I intervened) "Shelby, it's a not so nice word for poop." (stink eye to Nonna)

Shelby - "Oh! It's poop!"

So, we decorated it with brown icing and some little yellow chunks of "corn" for Uncle D....HAHAHA
Gee, can you find the terd?
Off to Nonny's for dinner. Wichita Falls crew came over. The kids helped Nonny roll out noodles like Darryl and I did when we were kids. We ate the amazing meal Nonny taught me to cook earlier that day. Then we watched TV and took photos of the kids.

Kookie Kids!
Now there's a nice pic. Thanks, kids!
I still can't decide...color or black n white?
Can't get them to sit still for too long.

Back at Nonna & Granddads the boys were allowed to play the guitar that once belonged to Gary Stewart!
Time to wind down before bed. Granddad's lap is always a comfy spot for that.
