We just got home from a visit back to Texas. We had such a wonderful time and we were able to see so many of our family and friends. We couldn't have asked for a better visit.
Our fun time with the Goldsmith's and Olson's. Thanks for meeting with us at the last minute. You guys will always be such great friends!!
2 Grandparents + 7 Grand kids = ...
... LOTS OF LAUGHS!!!
My sisters-in-law...my brothers married such beautiful, trendy gals.
The Little Women
Us
Little Miss started walking a lot more this past week, and she made us clap each time she stood back up.
Dinner with the Nelson's and Turner's. Thanks for calling us!!! There is never a dull moment with you all. :)
Like I said, never a dull moment...thanks Scott!
Uncle Matt won Little Miss over.
She gave Papa lots of kisses, and always wanted to be held by Nana.
Big Guy was demonstrating how sleepy he was while we waited in Dallas for our departing flight. Yes, we were all EXHAUSTED!!! When we got home, Little Miss went to bed at 6:00, the boys were in bed by 6:45, I was asleep by 7:45 and J was out by about 9:00.
The boys got Leapsters for the flight home. It amazes me how they can pick something up and have it figured out before I finish reading the instructions.
Her new word is "Mou" (mouth).
Even after a good night's sleep, those eyes still keep drooping.
Thank you everyone for a wonderful time. I just regret that I forgot to take my camera back to Dalhart. We saw our church family and couldn't have been loved on any more than we were. We miss you all so much and we're thankful to have you all in our lives. Brenner, thank you for coming to see your buddy. You are a very missed guy!! Miersma's and Berngen's, thanks for a great lunch at our favorite restaurant! Rachel, I'd love to see your pictures. It was so cute to watch our girls feed each other. Also, I was so excited to get to visit baby Piehl and love on him. He is precious, just like his sister and brother. And Dave and Kara are some of the most genuine people that I have ever met.
We love y'all!!!

Our house is too quiet....
Oh I am so sad we didn't get to hug your necks!!! Next time call us - we'd drive up - really!!! You guys are that special!!!!
Ok - not that Bret probably doesn't feel that way - but I typed that. -Mindy :)
What fun pictures! I really like Olivia in her pig tails! Glad you guys had fun. Did the boys like riding on the plane? I would say sorry I missed you, but we've been sick so you probably wouldn't have wanted to see us anyway!
Looks like a great visit. Maybe some day we'll be there at the same time :-)
Thank you, thank you for making the drive up to your old stomping grounds. It was WONDERFUL to see you!
It was to short a visit but I am so thankful for what we got! You guys are so special to us....we love you! It was so good to hear you talk about Florida....I know God is using you there and I long to hear what he is teaching you......time was just to short! :) Thanks for the pictures...you are too funny! PS. I got your message....and waited but you never came! :) :)
I'm so glad you guys got to see everyone! We are SO glad that we met you for supper and a late night visit! You are precious friends! We love you guys and are so glad that you made it home safe. Until next time...
Glad y'all had a good time! 2 things: 1, where did you get Olivia's shirt?! SO cute! 2, I am thinking of getting Bronwyn a Leapster for her birthday. Do you like it?
I love that pic of the boys with their leapsters! They look so grown up!!
And Olivia's flower shirt is so cool!
Glad you guys had fun!
It looks like you packed a ton into that visit! Wish we could've been there to see you guys! I LOVE all the pics! My thoughts: absolutely love the ones of the grandparents with all the kids - grandparents, you are a little outnumbered - you had beter watch out as that bunch gets older! Dinner in Ama - no kids?! Awesome! You with Sister-in-laws - beautiful! Tuners and Nelson - oh I miss them!!!! It looks like you had a great time! Issac is so funny - sleepy in Dallas! And Little Miss O - too cute! Great pics, Amy!
You have No idea how glad I was to see you guys, even if it was short, but it was SWEET! You guys are such wonderful people and we love you guys soooo much. We can't wait to see you next time you come. Let us know where to come see you ;)
I was wondering where you were! I am so glad you got to visit and had a great time! Those leapsters can be life savers! I hope to see you soon! xo
Well girl, I have been thinking about you and praying for you. Your first trip back to Texas--and your first time to leave Texas to go back home to Florida. How's it going? Are you doing ok? I am so proud of you!!
It was fun! All four of us really are pretty, aren't we?! ha!
Mom- Mine, too...wait!
Bredy (like Brangelina) or Mindet- I can't believe we didn't call you guys!!! Of course, we really didn't know we'd be at church until the night before. But next time, I promise a call. Especially since Josiah wanted to see Ryan so badly!!
Sarah- I like her pigtails, too. i just wish she'd keep them in! The boys LOVE riding in the plane. They think they are pros now. I hate that you guys have been sick. We did drive down the street to look at our house on the way out of town. :(
Jana- It was great...and that would be lots of fun!
Cari- I'm glad it worked out! Maybe I'll see you longer next time.
Katy- I can't believe I left that message on the wrong phone. ha! I'm glad I figured it out, though!!
Tamra- It was perfect! It wouldn't have been a visit home without seeing our sweet college friends!
Alexis- It was good...in fact, we drove right through your town on the way from Dalhart to Amarillo. I looked for you Nissan. :)
1.) www.lassiegirl@etsy.com This is my cousin's website and she makes the cutest pinafores!
2.) yes, but I was hoping they would be a bit more educational. I think it might depend on the games you actually get for them. So shop around. We went to Toys R Us in Amarillo and there wasn't much choice.
Emily-They are growing like weeds, except that they don't give me allergies. Sorry, that was lame.
Dawn- We did have a good visit. It would have been fun to hug your necks, too!
Kara- You look so great (like you were never even pregnant!!) and seem to be taking on 3 kids like it was meant for you.
Julie- I haven't seen you in a long time!!
Marcy- It was lots of fun. It was a bit stressful trying to leave the FL airport, but other than that, it was all smooth sailing! Maybe we'll bump into each other one of these days!
Lindsey- It was lots of fun!
OOOps!! The website to the pinafore that Olivia is wearing is:

Wish we were closer and could have seen you guys. I made it to town a few days after you guys had left. Darn! Maybe next time! Miss you guys.
