Family 

Focus 

Family Roster 

Mom & Dad 

Mom: Beth, VP, Franchise Operations for Marriott 

International 

Dad: Pete, GM of the Sugarland Marriott Hotel 

What Makes Them Tick: Going on vacation, to the theater, 

the SPA and spending time with their children. 

Kiddos 

Nash: 10 YO sports fanatic; highly involved in baseball, 

football, basketball 

Ireland: 5 YO girly-girl; enjoys gymnastics and swimming 

School: Both attend Montessori House for Elementary 

Locale 

Firethorne - “[We] LOVE living here. Some of our closest 

friends (and our kids friends) live in the neighborhood 

too. Great community where you will often find neighbors 

helping neighbors just because they are “good people”. 

The Scoop: Turkey (Stuffing) Day 

Favorite Thanksgiving Dish: “Every Thanksgiving week we travel as a family back to Nebraska where 

many aunts, uncles and cousins live. The night before Thanksgiving we all get together at one of the 

“aunts” houses, drink wine (the adults that is) and make home-made stuffing for the turkey. It’s Beth’s 

grandma’s recipe that continues to be passed down. Usually a 20+ pound turkey as there is typically 

a gathering of about 30 of us.” 

Thanksgiving Tradition: After the annual 2:00 PM Thanksgiving dinner, weather permitting, their family 

enjoys a comingled game of soccer in the backyard with kids and adults. Otherwise, they stay in and 

– you guessed it – watch football while playing board games. This group knows how to enjoy their 

post-turkey time together! 

“Thanksgiving has always been the most important family holiday of the year. It’s the one time we all 

come together to celebrate and give thanks for this big, fat, Catholic family!” 

Christmas Prep 

When They Start: “Sometimes 

we start before Thanksgiving 

to get it done. With 11 

siblings in Beth’s family and 

over 25 grandkids each 

year we pick names. The 

siblings and their spouse; 

the kids pick kids names.” 

How They Get In 

the Christmas Spirit: 

“DECORATING our yard!! 

LOVE, LOVE…the more 

decorations the better… 

come on by! 28515 S 

Firethorne Rd!” 

We would love to feature your family! Each month, one family will be chosen from one of our communities. For more information, email familyfocus@krenekprinting.com.

Cats Running Loose 

In The Neighborhood 

We are having problems with cats loose in the neighborhood. Loose cats 

can be a nuisance to your neighbors and their pets/property. Children 

can be scratched by unfamiliar cats, sleep can be disturbed by two loose 

cats howling in fights, gardens can be torn up by cats using them as litter 

boxes. There are also many dangers for your cats running loose - other 

people’s pets, wild animals, disease, cars. Since the leash law pertains 

to cats as well as dogs, your cat can be picked up by animal control if it 

is running loose. 

Animal / Pet Control 

Please respect your neighbor’s yard and their personal space. Remember, 

that pets must be confined to a fenced backyard or within the house and 

must not allowed to bark all night long or cause a nuisance to neighbors. 

They must be on a leash at all times when away from this contained 

environment. It is also the pet owner’s responsibility, when walking their 

pet within the subdivision, to keep ALL areas free of pet debris. Please 

remember that cats must also be confined. Animal control will pick up 

strays and/or unconfined pets. 

Need A Place To Exercise? 

I have a place for you that is completely free. On Mondays and Thursdays 

at 6 PM, I teach an absolutely free Zumba class for women of all ages and we 

would love to include you. We are located at 6655 South Mason Road, Katy, 

77450. Not sure that Zumba is for you, come try it out because the best part 

is that every class is free! If you would like more information, please contact 

Cami Cooper at aspencoop07@yahoo.com. Hope to see you there!

If you have a monitored alarm, make sure it is calling the Constables 

Dispatch number. 

Attention! 

Please be careful and slow down while driving through the subdivision; 

remind your young drivers to do also. Please, be aware of your 

surroundings and parents, remind your children to watch for vehicles 

when crossing the street. 

Parked Cars 

Please park your vehicles in your garage or at least in your driveway, 

if at all possible. Please be considerate of your neighbors and the fire 

trucks on your street. If you must park on the street, be considerate of 

the neighbor across the street, who must back from a driveway in order 

to enter the street. As our area has grown, so has the number of vehicles 

in the subdivision. Most seem to have more than one car per family and 

some have even more, as the children become driving age. Please try to 

be considerate of others who try to navigate between the cars that are left 

on the street. Children darting into the street or riding bicycles are more 

easily seen with less parked cars blocking the view of them. Thank you for 

your cooperation.

Veterinary Public Health LEASH LAW 

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. 

While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone 

who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid 

of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting 

hurt trying to avoid the animal. 

Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control) 

advises that “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the 

unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or 

cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat 

nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” 

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following 

circumstances: 

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more then six (6) feet in 

length, if the line or leash is held by human being who is capable of 

controlling or governing the dog or cat in question or 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle or 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not 

have access to sidewalk to street.”

While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or 

play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. 

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all 

our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect 

anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet 

owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing 

to properly restrain their pet. 

Homeowners!! 

If you know of a neighbor/residence who is not receiving the “Cimarron 

Star,” please notify Krenek Printing Company by calling 281-463-8649 or 

emailing us at news@krenekprinting.com. All we need is the address.
