Next stop...Texas!

After visiting family in OK, we headed to see family in TX.  We didn't tell the kids that Jaden, Hailey, and Mason would be there.  We overlapped for a few days with their visit.  We got there pretty late at night, after the kids were asleep.  When our kids went up to the bunk room, they noticed some kids already there.  They didn't notice who it was at first.  Nathan thought it might be Jaden, but wasn't sure.  We had fun with it for a little bit until he was sure who it was - it was great to see the look on their face when they realized it was their cousins.  

  Weston and Eli were a pretty good pair!







They had to see if the dog could swim... she could, but didn't want to stay in there!


Savannah looks so cute in pig tails - she has just enough hair in the back for 2 cute little tails.  But she doesn't like me putting them in.  They didn't stay in long, but it was cute while it lasted.

We had to go to the rodeo while we were there.  Nathan did the calf scramble, but I couldn't get any pictures of that.  Pretty fun to watch.  

All the boys took a special outing with Papa to get cowboy hats.  

We were grateful to see GG again - her cancer returned more aggressively, so we wanted to get as much time with her as possible.  Hopefully she will be able to fight this - she is hopeful that she will.  Regardless, I admire her fighting spirit.  She is enduring her trials well.



We had fun - as always!

Your parents place looks so awesome...what a fun retreat...and place to get spoiled! :) I know you had a great time. And, I'm also praying for your grandmother (and parents taking care of her!). I love having blogs to kinda keep updated...because I miss seeing you! Maybe one day soon. Maybe I'll take my own vacation to Bandera. :)
