Have I ever told you how much I love Texas? Well, I do.
I love that I can wear a bathing suit in November.
I love that I can wear a bathing suit in November on a boat.
I love that I can wear a bathing suit in November and sweat on said boat….because it feels like June.

I love that my kiddos can be barefoot on a boat while searching for dolphins…yup, in November.

I love that I have little Texas creatures that can steer the boat…..

……while Bill and I enjoy the setting sun on the bow.

I love seeing this man enjoy his life at the coast.
And my kids grow up by the water.
If a Texan doesn’t have an auto helm, he makes one.

And the barefoot kids name it Wilson, after the volley ball in Castaway.

Texans have big hair
And they love extra big as well

Texas….it is just the best. Ya’ll guys know what I mean?


I know exactly what you mean.
Ya’ll…
We’ve got a friend from Texas. I find myself using this phrase after spending time with her… makes me laugh!
Wow Jody, you’ve got it so gooood! Glad you’re enjoying it.
I’m so happy for you guys! Enjoy the freedom.
Love it! Beautiful pictures. And I am a little jealous of the bathing suits in November.
This is the absolute cutest blog entry I’ve ever seen. What a great family – how lucky you guys are to be living your dream!! I wish more of us (including yours truly) would do it!
Couldn’t have said it better. Viva Texas!
I wish I had a husband who would chase his dreams…. our dreams.
Oh I am so envious! Bathing suits in November! We’re lucky if we get a couple of weeks like that in the summer, and this year we didn’t even get that. Can I come live with you?
I love the photos you’ve been posting, btw – and that you all look (and sound) so happy
