Houston, your voice has been heard and after two weeks of voting, the winning name for our new sea lion pup is... Astro!

We couldn't be more excited about this new little guy and we know you will be too. He is going to be out in the sea lion pool at the beginning of July with Deano, Cali, and Kamia.

Be sure to come meet Astro before he grows up and isn't a pup anymore. There's nothing quite like a young sea lion.

Welcome to the Houston Zoo Astro!

Nestled in the heart of Katy, under the shade of mature trees, residents can experience paradise.

A bit of Hawaii, warm and friendly smiles, something to help survive the heat, and sometimes the breeze.

Sounds great, doesn't it? Well, it is. Ohana Shaved Ice is the newest Katy business to help beat the heat and share a bit of sweet, cool paradise to all who enter.

To have the true Ohana experience one must stay awhile. From the unique surfboard bench to the quality of flavors, Katy residents are bound to fall in love with this family-owned business.

Ohana in Hawaiian means family and appropriate for the Katy family who owns it. Mike and Kim have two daughters and have lived in Katy for 11 years. Their Katy pride shows in all they do.

When FreckleTown asked Mike, the owner, what made Ohana unique he replied, "We want to be different and stand out, not just a snow cone stand. We want people leaving saying, 'What a neat little place and the shaved ice was GREAT!' "

Ohana Shaved Ice is open 7 days a week during the summer and is located at 5703 2nd street, at the corner of 2nd and Ave. B.

They offer 3 sizes, small (which is actually quite large), large and Da' BIG KAHUNA. Mike and Kim love to see the look on peoples faces when they order that one!

Ohana offers special pricing for groups so schedule your group outing there today.

This is one Katy business that is sure to please the whole family!

Losing weight is not as hard as people think. In fact, I can tell you that you if you stay focused and stay calm through this process, I can guarantee you that you will lose weight over time.

It may sound like a bold statement, but it's not. Let me explain it this way. If I put on body fat at any time, it doesn't stress me out. I just lose it again. It's going to happen. Sometimes my weight goes up, sometimes it goes down. But if I want to change my body composition, I change it.

As soon as you realize that you are in control of what happens with your body, you will have a lot more power over your emotions and your weight.

So what do you do? It's all about consistency.
