Texas Visit

I am sorry I am a bit behind in posting. We spent a fabulous week in TX with family and since arriving home I have been busy planning Keller's birthday party. This Saturday is the party and so a have a few last details to take care of today & tomorrow. Anyway as I was saying, TX was great. Keller met my family for the first time. He turned on the charm & everyone quickly fell in love with him. I realize more and more what the little charmer he is. He just flashes that big, perfectly white toothy grin and melts your heart. Might be a problem that he knows it.
TX was blazing hot, as usual. Papa (my Dad) & Grammy have a pool and so does my aunt Brenda, so we spent alot of time in the water! Keller loves the water as much as Kylee and surprised us by basically jumping right in trying to swim (first time in pool). No fear from either kiddo! Kylee is now able to jump off of the diving board and swim to the side. I guess I know what we will be doing all summer.
Both kids simply adore their cousins and followed them around whenever possible. Of course Landry & Lawson were wonderful with them and entertained them non-stop. I never see Kylee laugh as much as when she is with big cousin, Landry.
We also enjoyed a helicopter birthday party for Lawson and a Memorial Day get-together with lots of family. We also had the treat of seeing both of my Grandmothers. Mamaw was in town from Sugarland, TX and Grandma was in town from Springfield, MO. It was so special for the Kylee & Keller to be able to spend time with grandparents and great-grandparents, as well as aunts, uncles & cousins.
Thank you Grandmom (Mom), Papa (Dad) & Grammy, Keenan & Rheagan & Randy & Brenda for being such wonderful & generous hosts. We had a wonderful time! We look forward to the next visit. Hope you can each come visit us too.
Here are just a few of my favorite pics from the week:
