Family weekend.

We had a wonderful visit with Tracy's brother and his family. They came in town on Thursday and we swam Friday while the big boys went fishing and caught us dinner for Sat. (15 catfish). Sat. We went to Matthew's flag football game and then went to the YMCA water park. The cousins all had a blast playing and riding their bikes! On Sunday we visited a family integrated church that they had read a book that the Pastor had written and wanted to check out. It was a wonderful experience. The children stay with you though the entire worship experience. We went to Hooks airport for lunch afterwards. The kids loved playing outside and watching the planes take off and land.

Waltonia Lodges

We began our trip eating at Jody's favorite Mexican restaurants in Kirvelle only 10 min. away from Waltonia, which is in Ingrim Texas.WOW!!! Where do I begin. We were so honored to be able to go on this wonderful vacation. Jody invited us to Waltonia ( a childhood tradition of his) for Memorial day. There are 16 cabins surrounding a beautiful grassy area that includes: horseshoes, volleyball, basketball, washers, swings, shuffleboard, baby animals, a fort, pick nick tables, and a covered area with ping-pong. Some families have been coming for 39 years. It is always booked for the following year. So we were blessed to be able to fill the spot of their family that was unable to come!

Greg, Angela, Sean, Tracy, Heather Matthew, Nicholas, Kim, Brian, Tori, Bryson, Teresa and Jody and Bryce.

Our Cabin # 11

We all had a blast with Jody and Angela's boats. Jody sure knew how to relax!

Nicholas loved fishing in the Guadalupe river. He caught several little brims and a small mouth bass.All the girls: Kim, Heather, Angela, Teresa, and little Tori. The water was soooooooo beautiful and cold but the kids did not seem to mind.

What a beautiful walk to the creek part of the river! Jody's cruzin cooler sure came in handy.


This boat was here for anyone to use! They had a great time!

This baby deer was bottled fed and is now a year old and loves people.

I loved the 2 week old piggies!!

Nicholas named all the piggies: Nibbler, Conner, Sweety

This mule was 1 month old on Memorial day!! He loved to play.

The baby goats were only 6 days old and still had their umbilical cord. They were so precious!!

The kids all loved the fort. Some even ate their dinner up there.



Tracy and Jody sure made amazing meals: Kerville Chicken and burgers!!!

Field Day

Field day at 7 acre woods was a huge success and the kids had a blast! They had tons of races: skateboard races, put-put, world cup kickers, long jump, basketball, sand trap (get spoons with your toes), 50 yard dash, long jump, splash Olympics, scuba run... just to name a few.

Matthew lost THREE teeth at Ericka's 11th birthday party!

We had a blast at Kim's house today. We celebrated Ericka's 11th birthday. They loved the moonwalk!!!

The kids had so much fun in the sack races. Matthew lost three teeth! One by one. When he saw his toothless smile after the third, he sobbed and said he looked weird - mommy thinks he is precious!! You can also see where he decided to cut his hair own his own in this photo. He bumped his lip in the moonwalk so now he looks like a true football player. :0)

Flag Football

We have a great team of boys!

Today was "The Falcon's" first football game. The kids had a blast. Matthew is so excited
that his daddy is the coach!

Guitar

Nicholas is loving guitar lessons; he can play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
