950 miles, 7 great-grandparents, 4 different houses to stay in, a brand new baby cousin, plus 3 more fun cousins, several aunts and uncles, lots of movies in the car, several potty-breaks, an entire box of goldfish, and tons of fun later.... we are back home from our annual west tx/nm tour. The kids look forward to going every year, and this year was no different. I literally downloaded 0ver 200 pictures, so here are a few of my favorites:
We stopped first at Noodle, TX (outside of Abilene) to see Mamaw and Papaw. The boys had a great time riding the tractors they finally got to meet our newest little nephew, Jarrell... He is just so sweet!
Mamaw and Cason
Papaw and Cason
Bryson was so excited to meet Jarrell... he would go over and check on him in his bouncer or in someone's lap and say, "be-be?!"
If Jarrell was awake, Coby was near him. He LOVES babies!
Bry is usually a little hesitant around new people, but he took a special liking to Papaw. It was so sweet!
Cason said this is his favorite picture because he remembers that Jarrell has soft hair!

GiGi and Gdad with all 5 of their grandsons! Could they be smiling any bigger??!!
Then we crossed the state line and headed to Jal, NM to visit my grandparents. We also got to see my big brother, Josh and his family. We dont see them very often, so it was a treat to have extra playtime with them. Josh preached and taught bible class, so that was special, too. He did a great job!
Here is KK and PopPop with the boys
Cason and Dylan
Micah and Dustin
Coby and Dylan
The whole gang with Nana and Dandy
Feeding the ducks and the big slide at the Jal park... a crowd favorite!
Nana gave Bryson his first ice cream push-pop.... he loved it!
Then back to TX to see Gran Gran in Coahoma on our way back home.
Now my house looks like hurricane katrina and I have laundry running out my ears, Micah has 2 more days of school and a kindergarten graduation this week, and this weekend is my 10-year hs reunion (gulp... has it really been 10 years?!), and my baby brother, Jordan is getting married this weekend, so all my blog-world friends need to prepare yourselves not to hear from me for another week or so! I still need to back-track and post pics of our beach trip, Coby's graduation, water day, etc... maybe later! :o)
