“I met Gary Carley in 1976 when I was 12 years old as he called on our family-owned business. Gary made me my first loan to buy a car in 1979. The loan was for $1,100.00. Now decades later he has been the banker for four generations of the Hauk family. The loan volume over the years has increased substantially to millions of dollars. I still love the relationship with Gary and Texas Republic Bank and I would not change."

With a new president coming into o ce, many clients are wondering how to navigate the current economic landscape. How can we handle market uncertainty?
Firstly, it's essential to remember that the market is based on companies, whose market prices are determined by buyers and sellers bidding on what they believe companies are worth. When the market thinks a company is expensive, they tend to sell it, driving down the price. Conversely, when they believe a company is cheap, they buy more, leading to prices going up. So, when new events happen, such as government policy changes, the market is always trying to predict where things are heading next, so the stock market can go down in anticipation of a recession and up when there's anticipation of a recovery. Based on 2024 market returns,
the market is predicting stable or strong economy. Only time will tell if it’s correct!
Secondly, it's important to note we usually feel like “this time it’s di erent” when it comes to the economy. However, markets and economies move in repetitive cycles, which illustrates the need to stay consistent as an investor.1
Lastly, one important measure to keep an eye on is consumer sentiment.2 As of December 2024 it was at 74. Compare this to December of 2022 when the index was at 59.3 A higher number indicates that consumers are con dent to spend money, and consumers make up the largest portion of our economy.
Regardless of what’s in the news, we believe strongly in developing a sound plan to diversify and stick with your strategy over 5-10 years, the long term. If you're unsure
how all this relates to your speci c situation, we're happy to review our current thoughts against your personal strategy. As always, we're here to help guide you through these nancial developments.

If your kids have attended Prairie Creek Elementary within the past decade, you have likely met the mom of Canyon Creek’s rst family of the month for 2025. Tammy May is the physical education teacher at Prairie Creek Elementary and has been for 10 years. She and her husband Tyler and their children, Lincoln and Eleanor, have called Canyon Creek home for the past six years and absolutely love it!
e Mays’ love story began in Austin at the University of Texas. Originally from San Antonio, Tammy moved to Austin to start school at UT in 2001. She adds an enthusiastic “Hook ‘Em” at this
by Patti Otte
point in the conversation. Tyler grew up in the DFW area but found his way to Austin after a brief stint in College Station. Tammy laughs, “I know, I know, but we all made mistakes when we were young.”
When they met, Tammy and Tyler were both living in one of the large UT apartment complexes built for students who move o campus for the rst time. He was living with a couple of friends from high school and Tammy was living with some friends she had met during her freshman year who, ironically, went to the same high school as Tyler. Tyler likes to say that they met because Tammy’s roommate was his ex-girlfriend. Recalls Tammy, “ e truth is, they
dated in high school for like 12 seconds or something. ey stayed friends through college and several years had passed – but I get it, that doesn’t sound nearly as exciting.”
e chemistry was immediate. Tammy remembers, “He had a beautiful head of hair, made me laugh, and played guitar. And he was 21. So it was a no-brainer. We started hanging out on the weekends. Weekends turned into weekdays. And the next thing you know… we had to decide on an arbitrary date for when we’d celebrate our anniversary.”
e couple married in 2009 and have, they say, been making each other laugh for more than 15 years now with an eye toward the next 15 fun years of togetherness. Tyler works in advertising/brand management and landed a great job in Dallas in 2013 but had to move and then live without Tammy and their young son Lincoln for a couple of months because she was in the middle of a teaching year. Looking back, Tammy recalls those rst few months, split between Austin and DFW, as rough, but they found a way. e unexpected bonus was having time to explore the area, learn that tornado warnings and emergency sirens were going to be part of their lives from now on, and nd a place where they wanted to put down roots.
anks to Tammy’s job at PCE, they found the Canyon Creek neighborhood. eir children, Lincoln and Eleanor, were able to attend the RISD pre-K program at Canyon Creek Elementary. States Tammy, “Both schools were incredible and the community was great. We knew we wanted to nd a way into the neighborhood. After a couple years on the outside looking in, we nally found a home and started moving into our house on Shady Creek back in 2018.”
2024-2025 marks Tammy’s 19th year teaching, with the last 10 at PCE. anks to her job at PCE and their kids’ attendance at CCE, Tammy feels like she knows most Canyon Creek residents. She says, “I can rarely leave the house without being recognized. It’s a running joke in our house. Tyler calls me the ‘Mayor of Canyon Creek.’ I’m always shaking hands and kissing babies.”
As is often the case for folks who decide to call Canyon Creek home, the Mays continue to fall in love with the neighborhood and
now live close to some of their best friends, just a quick walk down the street. ey also like that great schools are so close and their kids love being able to jump on a bike and meet up with friends.
Daughter Eleanor is now a 4th grader at Canyon Creek Elementary. Her parents describe her as “passionate, whip-smart, and
wise beyond her years… who enjoys reading, dancing, volleyball, spewing endless random facts, and hanging out with friends. And she is starting to develop a fondness for some creative pursuits – writing, sketching, and interior design.”
Lincoln is currently attending North Junior High as a 7th grader. “He is a lot like
Tyler – quiet, but always listening. Always. He’s got an uncanny aptitude for math and science, enjoys most sports, and loves pushing his sister’s buttons. More recently, he’s been spending hours honing his gaming skills. He regularly beats his dad at most video games. But he still hasn’t gured out how to beat him at Madden.”Not yet, at least,” Tammy says.
When asked about family traditions, the Mays mention New Year’s Eve. Each year they host a small gathering with friends at their house. e kids play games. e adults have a good time. And they make Buñuelos – a Mexican tradition shared during the holiday season for good luck. Buñuelos are a
fried sweet dough dusted in cinnamon sugar. Tammy says, “It's like a funnel cake and a churro had a baby. ey are messy and make the whole house smell like hot oil, but they are so good!”
Most of their free time revolves around neighborhood activities for the kids. When he was younger, Lincoln occupied most of their weekends through YMCA soccer and ag football. Tyler helped coach the ag football team, so they’ve spent a considerable amount of time over the past couple of years standing on the sideline of an open eld somewhere in the north Texas area. However, according to the Mays, now that Lincoln has moved on to weekday games
for junior high sports, Eleanor has taken up the mantle of weekend warrior. Between the dance recitals and volleyball games, they stay busy most weekends.
When they’re not shuttling kids, the Mays all love to read and play games...board games, card games, any games of strategy or chance. Eleanor is even curating her own library and spends time embossing her books with her very own o cial “Library of Eleanor May” seal.
e Mays would love for you to reach out if you see them in the neighborhood. Tammy laughs, “Wave or say hi if you see us! Oh wait…you already do!”
What are your names and the name of your business? How long have you been in business?
Our names are William and Annie Clifton and our dog treat business is called Sunshine Treats. We have been in business almost two years.
What made you decide to start your dog treat business? Where did you get the idea?
I (Annie) was saving up to buy an American Girl Doll. Mom suggested that I could make a little money selling Sunshine’s homemade dog biscuits and I thought about it for a couple of days and decided to try it. We tried it and I made enough money to get the doll. It ended up being a great way to earn money, so William joined in and we decided to keep doing it together. We got the idea because our dog Sunshine had diabetes and we wanted to make dog
treats that she would be able to eat. Because they helped Sunshine, we thought we could help other dogs too.
What is unique about your dog treats?
ey are edible (even humans can eat them), healthy and homemade.
Tell us about your family.
William is nine and I (Annie) am eight and we have a little brother, Jonah, who is three years old. Our parents are Katy and Scott Clifton. We have two dogs: Sunshine (we call her Sunny), who is 14, and Sammy, who is one. We are home-schooled and enjoy playing sports, playing outside with friends, and playing games. Our dad works from home and does Google Ads and mom helps us in any way possible. We were born in Richardson and have lived here our whole lives.
What is your connection to the Canyon Creek neighborhood? Can you share with us any memories you have made in the neighborhood?
What are your plans for the future of your business?
Adding new shapes for holidays and seasons, buying better rolling pins. Our dad is going to help us make ordering easier through a website and email signups (says Mom).
What advice can you give to any other kids thinking of starting their own business?
If you have a good idea, don’t be scared to try it. Also have your parents post your product on Facebook.
Our grandparents, Michael and Susie Hatley, have lived there for more than 40 years and our mom Katy grew up there. We love to go to our grandparents’ house and play games over there, eat popsicles and watch sports. Every year for Christmas, we go over and help our grandparents get their tree out of storage and help them decorate their house for Christmas.

Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about you or your business?
We love Richardson.
Each year interior designers love to predict what styles and designs will shape homes when decorating or remodeling. It is interesting how you can look back at photos and easily determine what year a home was built, decorated, or even remodeled. ese design styles and trends become part of design history… remember multi-colored shag rugs, avocado green appliances? Do not worry, everything reinvents itself and makes a comeback. is year is no di erent! After reviewing several di erent published trends, here are the top seven trends that will help you craft your home to your personal design style.
1
Darker, Richer Woods
Neutral, white and grays have been popular for years but darker woods like walnut are back! Even wood paneled rooms! ese tones bring warmth and depth adding coziness and richness to a space.
2
Wood Kitchens
Yes, wood is back! ink white oak or walnut for cabinets. Warm wood kitchens are instantly cozy, approachable
By Lisa Parelli-Monaghan
and inviting. And wood cabinets are more durable. Chips and scratches were inevitable on painted cabinets, so wood is more forgiving and easier to mend a scratch!
3
Throwback Textile Patterns
Fabrics that are hand-blocked, cotton prints (think Laura Ahsley) and even the eighty’s ame stitch is making a comeback. And one last one – animal prints which always stand the test of time!
4
Extended Kitchen Spaces
Remodelers are still seeing the desire for butler’s pantries and large pantries. Homeowners are using these areas for the small appliances and daily clutter or mess. It leaves their main kitchen crisp and clean! Homeowners are also using bolder colors and having fun with these spaces.
5
Cozy Reading Nooks
Homeowners love their open oor plan but need a place to retreat that is calm and quiet. e cozy reading nooks that you always found in older homes are making a comeback. ey will be painted in dark,
deep tones such as burgundy with plush cozy seating and layered with textured fabrics. Time to disconnect from the digital world!
6
Gone are the days of bare walls with one main picture. Fill the walls and create a gallery. You will see walls blended with painting, photos, prints and even quirky nds from travels or antiquing. Do not be shy…FILL the wall up!
It feels nostalgic! Everyone has seen checkered ooring in historic homes, hotels (think e Galvez in Galveston) or buildings. Checkered oors are timeless and can be used in traditional or modern homes alike.
So, think warm wood tones like walnut, moody paint colors like burgundy and whimsical art and fabrics and your home will be “on point” for 2025. Of course, as my mother always said, “style/design is yours…. you make it what you want it to be. It should always de ne you.” Happy 2025!
Answers shared by Ron Newton, Bentley’s best friend
Tell us the name of your pet. What type of pet is he/she?
Our dog Bentley is a three-year-old cavapoo (part cavalier spaniel and part poodle). When I say “part” cavalier spaniel, his mother didn’t look like any cavalier spaniel I had ever seen. However, she was absolutely adorable! His sire was a pure toy poodle.
How did your pet become a member of your family?
Needless to say, we are an old, retired couple with no kids. My wife Brenda and I had not had a pet in nearly twenty years. But back in 2021, one of our neighbors brought home a cavapoo and my wife was smitten. We decided we needed something more in our lives. So, here came Bentley.
Tell us more about your pet and his/ her personality. Does he or she have certain quirks, tricks, talents?
Bentley is extremely bright, inquisitive and playful. Somewhat shy, Bentley barks entirely too much, but doesn’t bite (though one postman did comment, “ at’s what everybody says!”). But so far, he hasn’t hurt a soul. In terms of quirks, Bentley doesn’t
like getting his feet wet and/or having his head petted.
Does your pet have a “favorite” family member?
Bentley’s “favorite” family member is generally whomever has food and is willing to share! Otherwise, as my wife says, “He’s your dog.”
What is a memorable story about your pet?
My story isn’t pleasant but is something I’ll never forget. When he was about 8 months old, I was on the oor playing with Bentley, having a tug of war with a large stu ed dog. Somehow in the heat of moment, I dislocated Bentley’s back leg. It was our rst visit to a pet hospital emergency room. He had a good outcome, but it taught me a lasting lesson!
Tell us about your family. How long have y’all lived in Canyon Creek?
Brenda and I are native Texans, having grown up in Victoria, Texas. We met in high school and later married there in 1965. Returning from Vietnam, I went back to work with Southwestern Bell (AT&T) in San Antonio. Over my 40-plus-year career with SW Bell (now AT&T), we moved to
Lubbock, then Dallas, back to San Antonio, and then back to Dallas. We settled in our current home here in Canyon Creek in 1989 (great decision!).
Do you have an awesome story of living in the neighborhood that you can share with us?
One little-known story about Canyon Creek has to do with one of our former next-door neighbors. Back in the early 1990s, a young couple moved in next door. Both were engineers, but the husband was also in a band. ey were expecting their rst child and the band was gearing up for a European tour. at neighbor was Mike Judge, the creator of the TV series “Beavis and Butthead.” Mike decided to stay home with his wife and, as a result, created the TV comedy series!
As Mike related, a friend was looking for some help in developing music with a cartoon project. Mike used the Richardson Library to research how to create cartoons and score music. It led to his developing that rst TV show and another in 1997 called “King of the Hill.” Mike said he based that TV show on observations out his kitchen window (I can vouch for that)! What an interesting neighborhood!

Tell us your name, what school you currently attend, and what year you are in school.
My name is Luca Schober and I go to Canyon Creek Elementary. It’s my rst year there and I am in second grade.
How would people who know you describe your personality, Luca?
I think people would describe me as strong, a little weird, funny, athletic, and a good friend.
What are your hobbies and interests? How do you like to spend your time when you are not in school?
My hobbies are gymnastics and wrestling. In my free time besides practice, I like to play football with my friends or hang out with my older cousins. I also like to travel and visit my family in Germany.
Do you have a favorite sport between wrestling and gymnastics?
I have competed longer in wrestling (in my 4th competition year). Gymnastics I just started my second season. I switch between the two sports; at the moment, they both are my favorites. In wrestling I love that it's a tough sport, and gymnastics I love the variety of elements on di erent events.
Brag on yourself: Tell us your honors and awards in and out of school.
• Last year was my rst competition year in gymnastics Level 3 and I placed 4th in the State nals and 1st in Regionals (5 states) two weeks later.
• In wrestling, I’m in my 4th year of competing and have won a few titles, including 3x State champion. I recently nished top 12 nationally.
• I’m bilingual (English and German).
• I solved my rst Rubik’s cube last month.
How did you learn to speak German?
My mom and her family are German and I love going to visit my grandparents and cousins once a year. I attended a German school (German International School of Dallas) all through kindergarten and still speak German with my mom, sister and family. I also practice with Emil (who is in 4th grade).
What do you love about Canyon Creek Elementary?
I love my friends that I can talk with and play football. My favorite subject is math and my favorite teacher is Mrs. Ramsey.
Tell us about your family, including pets if you have any.
I live with my mom, dad and sister Ella (who goes to rst grade at CCE), and my two cats named Fred and George. We have been renovating our new house in the Canyon Creek neighborhood for a few months now and hope to move in very soon! We are moving from Plano, just 10 minutes away from our new house. And I have 3 older cousins named Harry, William and Andrew Smith, who also have attended Canyon Creek for some time.
What do you love most about Canyon Creek?
I love that I will live two streets away from my cousins and can walk or bike to school. My rst Halloween in the neighborhood was awesome, getting to trick or treat with my new friends.

By Denise Kendrick
Hi neighbors! Even if we haven’t had the pleasure of meeting, you’ve still likely crossed paths with a Kendrick or two in our neighborhood. My husband and I moved to Lookout Drive in 2018 with 8 of our 9 children. Kendricks are often found wading or shing by the waterfall (sorry, photographers!), cycling through the hood, throwing a football in the street, knocking on your door because aforementioned football is now over the
fence and in your back yard, or knocking to sell pecans to support the Plano Wildcat Band. ank you to all who put up with us!
Beyond the sheer number of children in the Kendrick family, we tend to stand out because 5 of our children are adopted. Before adopting, we were foster parents to 30 children over the course of 10 years. Adoption is part of how our family came together, but
it’s also become my life’s work. As a founder and the Executive Director of Embrace, I get to be a part of children nding their forever families through adoption. But I also see rsthand how the shortage of foster parents in our community a ects children. When a foster family isn’t available, a child may be sent far from home, left in limbo for weeks, or separated from their siblings.
For 17 years Embrace has worked not only to recruit additional families to care for neglected and abused children, but to wrap around and support these families. While I’d challenge everyone to prayerfully consider
fostering, it’s not for everyone. But everyone can do something to make a di erence. Embrace depends on the help of volunteers to carry out our life-changing programs. Some volunteers want to work directly with children at Embrace ’s “Collin House” campus in McKinney, or at events such as our foster family campout. Every interaction with a safe, caring adult helps restore a child’s sense of self-worth and dignity.
Volunteers who prefer to work behind the scenes make quilts, collect items for First Apartment Kits for teens “aging-out” of foster care, prepare meals and pray. But
caring for our most vulnerable neighbors isn’t just for people who hope to adopt, or people who love working with kids. It’s a grave and sacred privilege for us all. Don’t like kids? at’s ok, too. Our team at Embrace can still help you nd impactful ways to use your unique talents and gifting to make a di erence in the lives of children and families.

By Matt Walker, CCHOA president
As your new president, I am excited about where we are today. We have just celebrated and congratulated the following:
• Jay Dalehite, for having served more than 20 years on the Canyon Creek HOA Board
• Warren Caldwell, for seven years as board president
• Jeremy omason, for stepping in to handle the last half of the year with his third time serving in the presidential role, and the richness of having a bench with such a tradition of leadership in our community.
I am truly humbled to serve as the current president starting January 1, 2025. We have such strong support from the 2,800 homes in our community and the City of Richardson.
We need to continue the work Jeremy started cleaning up our CCHOA Bylaws and continue our tradition of having a well-run, active, and well-organized homeowners’ association.

Stay tuned for more details about that event as we have lots of construction in our
subdivision and need to stay on top of what is happening. We’ll receive an update on the status of the construction at the Co ee, so we hope you’ll join us.
Co ee with the Council is just one spring activity your CCHOA has planned. We’ll also have the annual begonia sale at II Creeks in late March or early April.
In the CCHOA pages of Canyon Creek Life, we’ll bring you information on a variety of topics. You’ll hear from various board members, we’ll congratulate our winners of the Yard of the Quarter contest, watch for some new activities with UTD, and so much more. And speaking of UTD, the campus hosts a variety of lectures, sporting activities and other community events that we will be highlighting in the near future for you to enjoy.
I look forward to meeting those of you I haven’t had the pleasure to know so far and I look forward to serving as your next president.
All the best,

• Dwelling coverage helps pay for repairs if your home is damaged by a covered peril. is typically includes damage caused by a break-in. If an intruder breaks a window or damages your door, dwelling coverage may help pay for repairs.
• Personal property coverage helps pay to replace or repair your belongings if they are stolen or damaged by a covered loss (including theft). If an intruder steals items from your home, personal property coverage may help pay to replace them.
• Other structures coverage helps pay to repair detached structures on your property if they're damaged by a covered peril. If your garage or shed is damaged during a break-in, your other structures coverage may help pay for repairs.
Would you know what to do if your home was damaged or your stu was stolen in a burglary? Start by reporting the burglary to police, the III says. You'll also want to promptly get in touch with your insurance provider to le a claim.
Your insurer may ask for a copy of the police report, or the case number, to process the claim. Additionally, it's a good idea to document any property damage with photos or video and prepare a list of the stolen items (along with receipts) to provide to your insurer, the III says. If you already have a home inventory, it may expedite this process.
You'll also want to make any emergency repairs that will help protect your home from further damage, the III says. For instance, you may immediately want to replace broken windowpanes or door locks that were damaged during the break-in. Be sure to save your receipts for expenses incurred during repairs, the III says, because those expenses may be reimbursed by your insurance provider.
