Relaxation at last...but what's this?

WOW!!!  This week just BEAT ME UP... B-E-A-T me up! Rebekah had UCA Camp. I mean its summer and her new cheer team practices at 8:30 in the MORNING!  This week however we had to be up at about 6 am!  I had to straighten her hair and help her with her make up.  In the end...she learned how to apply her own make up...she did pretty good.  4 days of this!  She had fun.

Rebekah stretching out her arms...shes sore!

Rebekah is one of the 3 fuzzies in the front.  She and 2 other girls were doing tumbling passes. 

Rebekah after day 3.  GO SHORTHORNS!!!  Well I cant believe my oldest is starting 6th grade!  AACCKK...my baby is growing up fast. 

Well on a more less, nerve wrecking side...we have a new tenant. However this tenant wakes up super early at starts to serenade us at 4 in the morning. Here he is:

This bird is sitting right outside my front door over the door.  Its just there, wasnt scared of me or anything.  It just sat there like it was used to being photographed.  I thought for sure with the flash it would try to fly out, but nope...it just sat there posing for me.  I dont know what kind of bird that is.  Anyone know...I live in South Texas.  I tried looking for it on the internet.  Here is a better close up, I think
