Texas trip!!


Stop for supper on the way - Kyle running around, climbing on rocks before getting back in his chair...

Kyle, Preston, Madison - waiting somewhat patiently for lunch Uncle Kent and Baby Ryan

Uncle Kory and Del - reading comics


Aunt Teresa and Aunt Molly

Well, we went to Texas, where we succeeded in not taking very many pictures!! We went to Kory, Teresa, Ryan and Winchester's where Kyle was thoroughly licked to pieces! We were also joined there by Kent, Molly, Madison, and Preston quite a bit, too! We spent a lovely time visiting, eating, reading comic books, eating... and then I think we ate some more! Sunday we went to Kent & Molly's for a yummy lunch and then vegged there until it was time to meet Grampa Wayne and Gramma Dawn and travel through torrential rains to their house! While there, we acquired a 1997 Honda Accord, in GREAT condition (thanks to Kory for his hard work) so we had 3 vehicles in this caravan in the rain. Kyle, Gramma and I had the car and Gramma spent much of her time adjusting the little mirror that suctions to the window so Kyle could see Daddy's headlights behind us.



We went from there to Georgetown Convention where we were greatly fed, once again.


Adam and Kyle listening to Lanelle and the girls visit and share stories.


Del left Sunday after lunch taking the car and traveled with Aaron and Jason, who had come down, too. After convention was over, we had the privilege of attending Marguerite McMahan's funeral - wonderful to think again on her life, spent in God's will. After the funeral, we stayed for some of the tear-down where Kyle was thrilled to see a bobcat/forklift in action - picking up racks of chairs - he still talks about it!!! There was also a tractor/trailer that picked up trash that Del & his brother used to ride on when they were kids! Kyle & Del went one time but Kyle was startled by the tractor noise and wouldn't go again!


Looking for cars before walking to the mailbox with Grampa


Kyle and I went back to Grampa and Gramma's for week where we really didn't do much of anything! We had a wonderful time... went to Angela, David, and Marion's for lunch one day with Connie, too. I had lunch out with one of my previous co-workers. Kyle spent much of his days playing toys and asking "Where Grampa (or Gramma) go?"







Waiting for Grampa to come home




Gramma bought remote control cars for Grampa and Kyle to play with - they were cool!!

Gramma's bunny rabbit wrapped up in Kyle' tag blanket that Gramma fixed...

Kyle and I had an uneventful trip home on Monday - we were sad to leave but glad to see Del/Daddy! :)

Reading bedtime stories




Kyle loves to have stories read to him and he even repeats them later while he's playing!

Birthday party for Del!


Lots of sweets!!

Since we are usually gone for Del's birthday, I decided to do a little snacks/games afternoon before we left for TX! Abe, Lori, Lauren, Emily, Aaron, and Jason were able to join us and we had a great time!! Brenda joined us later on her way home from convention!

Emily entertained Kyle...
