crazy kids before Cathy left

Johnny, Meghan and Justin had a great time playing together.

This is karate on the couch!

Goofy faces and jumping on the couch.


Cathy got in as many hugs and kisses as she could.

Johnny and Meghan miss Auntie Cathy very much!!!

Justin did a good job of hanging out and playing with the kids. Spongebob translates in any language.

We had the most wonder visit with Cathy, Barry and Justin. I can't wait until I get to spend some quality time with Josh, Bailey and Chelsey too. I miss them so much already.

family reunion part 2

Grandma June from Bastrop, and Sarah my cousin is lurking behind her looking for her son most likely.

Grandma June with my mom (her oldest, blue hair band), Aunt Paula (next oldest, blue shirt) and the youngest daughter my Aunt Nina (white t-shirt) she has a cool job and really helped me stay out of trouble as a teenager. I owe a lot to her.

After the kids finished off Preston by climbing him, they went after Kevin.

There was a horse shoe rivalry!

Teresa and Preston

Kevin and Cathy

The family adores Preston's new girlfriend!

Grandpa Bill was a welcome sight. We were worried who all would be able to come. Grandpa Bill and Grandma June live in Bastrop.

I used to play in Aunt Sue's backyard as a small child. It was the coolest place ever!

My mom got to rest in the shade...it was a long but fun day.

Teresa got to visit with everyone.

One heck of a family reunion part 1

Most of the kids were wet at one time or another...even the ones on the roof of the shed! Uncle Preston sprayed them with a hose...no one fell off!

The kids had a blast hanging out on uncle Preston's new back patio!

Even the younger crowd had fun!

We love worms!!!

Meghan wouldn't touch them but Johnny loved them!

Meghan did give it her best shot...

getting back to normal...

Mom and all four of her daughters in the same place at one time!

Grandma Tractor and some of her Grandkids.

All four of us in order of age from right to left...

Ginger, Teresa, Cathy and Millie

I have hundreds of pictures due to the crazy amount of fun we had during a great time of family togetherness...nothing beats spending time with the people you grew up with, the ones who remember you as a little kid, watched you grow up and still love you anyway!

Having Cathy, Barry and Justin here was just incredible. I can't believe how much I miss them already. Now I am dying to go and spend time with the three wonderful children who did not get to share in the wonderfulness that is me and my family.

I will do my best to get my pictures edited and posted asap.

I also have some great video!!!
