Celebrations

This weekend we flew to Midland for two important celebrations: Luke's 3rd birthday and Steven and Megan's engagemenet party! It had also been a while since we'd seen our families, so it was great to spend the weekend with them!

Saturday morning we got some good pool time with Mimi. Gracie loved floating and playing in the water with Daddy! The water was a tad on the cold side, so I stayed on the sidelines and watched them play. Once she got tired of being on the float, Mimi pulled out some new water toys, and Gracie sat and played happily on the pool shelf.


After an hour or so of playing, it was time to eat lunch and go to Luke's birthday party. Kim had rented a huge blow-up pool and slide set for the kiddos. Gracie was a little too small for the slide, and it was pretty hot in the sun, so Trinity's uncle pulled out the baby pool for Gracie. It was perfect for her, especially with the HOT weather. She splashed around and laughed at the kids running around and splashing each other in the big kid pool. Cousin Luke got lots of great presents from the family, and he was pretty excited about the bike that Gracie gave him!

Saturday night we celebrated my brother's engagement to the sweetest girl in the world, Megan! We are all so lucky to welcome her into our family, and we couldn't be happier for the two of them. The party was a huge success and had a great turnout! We had delicious brisket, ham, and a ton of sides, complete with plenty of wine and beer. Mimi and Pop sure know how to throw a party!

The Family

The rest of the weekend we spent visiting with Mimi and Pop or Nana and PopPop. Thanks to our family for another great visit! We love you all so much and wish we could spend more time with you all.
