The Whole Gang

The weekend of Easter, my entire family was in Waco at the same time. (all my siblings, spouses, kids, and my parents) This is rare, so when it happens, we plan far in advance so we don't miss out!

Now that Erin and JD live in Waco, the only family that has to make the long trip is my brother and his crew who fly in from Nashville. They had yet to meet Brewer! I didn't get a picture of Blake and Brewer, but here is the rest of his family holding him for the first time!

Aunt Ash and her newest nephew

Cooper

Holden

Aunt Alli getting some Payton lovin'

Reagan wanted a picture with her aunts...

Reagan and Aunt Alli (and our sweet twins in her tummy!)

Reagan and Aunt Ernie

Reagan and Aunt Ash

These two are always inseparable the whole time we are there.

We busted out the slip and slide!

SAFE!

Aunt Ash and Reid even got in on the action!

Handsome Cooper!

Brad showing them how it's done!

I LOVE this picture. I LOVE that it reminds me of the one I posted right under it. I LOVE that these three will always have each other. Reagan will always have two older guys that take care of her!

Sweet, Sweet Cousins!

Could you not just eat him right up?

Hunky Holden

Reid got a trampoline for his birthday and it was a huge hit while we were there!

WOW - If you need a snack, just let Payton know. She's got plenty to share!

We had a Cousin Easter Egg Hunt and this little girl wasn't too sure about it to begin with...

...until her cousin Reid showed her the way.

Doc and one of his girls

Yep - that's chocolate on the lips and teeth!

We spent some time playing at the park once the eggs had been hunted.

This little Easter egg was tuckered out!

On Saturday, Brad, Doc, Uncle Blake-o, Landon and Cooper headed back to Dallas for Landon's baseball game. Mimi, Ash and I spent the morning trying to play a game on Doc's IPad. (There's more to that story than I have time to type! It would not be funny to anyone but the three of us!) While we were playing, Holden was enjoying some time with the home phone.

"9-1-1....What's your emergency?"

He called and they answered...Quickly! The officer was so very kind and stayed and visited with us for a bit.

Reagan requested a trip to the skating rink later that morning! She had never been and has been begging for us to take her! So - we all loaded up and made that dream come true! This is the same rink (not even sure it has been updated!) where I used to go skating as a kid!

Here she is with a little skating aid!

Reagan thinks her Aunt Ash is so cool!

Aunt Shannon and Reid

Aunt Ernie and Reid

Uncle Kyle and Aunt Ash had a friendly competition going. First with the limbo...

How Low Can You Go?

Then with a little race around the rink!

Once again, it was a wonderful weekend with family. I leave each time we are together feeling so blessed. (and REALLY tired!) We always have a blast and I love that my kids have cousins to grow up with! Thank you to Doc and Mimi for hosting us all weekend! We love you all!
