GG and the babes

GG... Great Grandma Doris lives in Bryan, TX.  It's only 90 minutes from us.  We're grateful that we're close enough to spend time with her, as well as Uncle Rick and Aunt Bev, who graciously have hosted all the get togethers.  (We've also gotten to spend time with the other side of the family that lives in Bryan... shout out to Aunt Carmen and Uncle Wayne).  You can see that GG Doris is so happy to see her great grandchildren... and I'd like to think that her and Miss Vivian are making quite the connection!  (They do share a middle name after all!).  When Viv giggles... Great Grandma lights up... watching the two of them together is one of the most genuine moments and brings a smile to your face.  In July, we were lucky to have five of the great-grandchildren together and spend some quality time together. 

What a precious moment!  Two happy ladies!

Logan and Great Grandpa Fred had a special connection

Hey... not too bad for trying to get five kids 4 years and younger to look at the camera at the same time.

She's at such a cute age!  And I think Great Grandma Doris would agree!  Right before this picture these two were cracking up!

Uncle Rick and Aunt Bev's house is one of Braden's favorite places.  As if the two of them weren't fun enough already... Uncle Rick has a saddle and the kids could not get enough of it.  I thought this picture captured my tough guy who was taking his saddle time very seriously.  If he winds up a kid on a horse herding cattle at sometime in his future, then this picture will be priceless.  Hey, we live in Texas now... it could happen!
