Texas Thanksgiving Part II

Here are the pictures from Borger. I really thought I had my camera out a whole lot more.

Hey! A picture of us! Thanks, Linds.

Football!

Watch out, Ryan!

He's so cute.
All of 'em.

Do boys need an excuse to tackle? No ball, no problem.

Olivia ventured outside for a moment. But she was getting lots more attention inside.

This is why they love their Aunt Shanna so much. She chases them!

My two grandmothers
Mama (on the left) taught me to love old movies.
Granny (on the right) tried her darnedest to teach me how to sew. I wish I would have paid closer attention!!!!

Silly faces

Liv getting tummy tickles from her Uncle David

My boys with their Mumzie and Aunt Shanna

Olivia wanted to wear that stocking.
Her Aunt Lindsey watched on while her daddy tried to catch up on sleep for the trip back. :)

Zach and my cousin, Johnathan

ATTACK!

Huddle up and plan better attack

I know--gross. Zach never wants to grow up (He's a Toys-R-Us kid) and I like to encourage him.

some of the gals

Look, Papa! I know you are proud. :)

Buff and Siah. I thought that this was the only picture of my dad, but then I found this...
Dad and Bill
(my best friend's dad and also my parents' neighbor)

Lindsey and Addilyn

I thought this was a classy way to close us out.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so glad you guys decided to make the trip back - there is nothing better than family trips and time spent with family during the holidays. I will admit we miss our 18 hour trips back to Indiana. Some of my most cherished memories with the kids are on the road! Although, it can make you want to turn back around like you said, but always worth it in the end! Happy Traveling!!

What a trip! Wow!!!! Your pictures are looking soooo good. I think Josiah is really changing and that makes me sad....I guess if Ryan is doing the same I should know the other kids are growing too. *sigh*
Hope you are getting to catch up on some rest.

I love your pictures. And what a funny ending! She's gonna hate that some day....

Lindsey said...

I love them all! I must say I did a pretty good job on that pic of you and Jay. The boys are hilarious. Your dad and Bill are more hilarious. Zach is gross and hilarious. And our sucking in while taking the girl picture was also hilarious. Over all, I'd say we're pretty funny.
