Let's Hit the Road

Last week we headed to Texarkana while making a few fun stops along the way.  I had heard about a smocked sample sale that was happening in Dallas on the day we were passing through.  We were so excited about finding some good deals that we left our house at 6:30 am and made it to Dallas before 10!  Here is what we left with:
 It also gave me the perfect opportunity to meet up with one of my good friends from college, Callie.  I was thrilled to get to meet Noel Grace for the first time.  She is the cutest thing you have ever seen!
 Here is Carson during the 5 minutes of the trip he actually slept.  Thankfully both boys were wonderful during the car ride even without naps.  What did we ever do before DVD players?
We made it to Momma Lou and Ed's house that afternoon just in time to celebrate Momma Lou's birthday.  It was so fun to have all 4 great grandsons together.  We had a great time getting to visit with everyone.

We made a few attempts to get a picture of these 4.  It is harder than it looks!
Owen(1), Carson(1), Connor (4), and William (2)
Our little lover Carson took every chance to pass out hugs and kisses.  He loves his cousins!
Time for cake!
While we were in Texarkana, we also did a few fun things around town.  We took the boys to Discovery Place which had lots of fun things to see. 
Carson and Owen loved this sound wall.

Next stop... Texas/Arkansas state line.  Standing in 2 states at one time.

Uncle Jeff and Aunt Melanie let us take a swim in their pool.  The boys loved playing with Courtney!
Sunday morning in the church nursery.
And the fun continued with bubble wands and sprinklers!

Another great part of our trip was getting to spend some time with Papa and Ginny. 
Rachel took this sweet picture of Ginny and the boys that I love!



High five!
Mom and Papa
These two have quickly become best friends.  It has been so much fun to watch them together.  They had lots of fun running around the house playing peek-a-boo.
On Tuesday it was finally time to head home.   Our one and only stop on the way home was in Waco for lunch and a trip to the Baylor bookstore for a few goodies.
We are so thankful for fun times spent with family.  It was a great trip!

Great pictures! And I have to say that Owen's little green trainers are the the height of hip-ness! :) He looks so much like Kevin, I can't get over it. Sounds like a fun weekend.
