Hanging Out With Brother in TX

After we picked up our car in El Paso, the kids and me stayed for a week or so in Lubbock, TX. We wanted to hang out with our Papa, my Mom and Step-dad. We also spent some time with my Dad's side of the family. And my brother and his family flew in from Germany. We had a wonderful time...it went by fast as usual. Papa as you can imagine is still very sad from losing his precious Murr. It was good to be with him. The cousins stayed busy with one another as Nana had plans for them each day.

The kids and I went and visited Murr's grave. It was a sweet time together. We talked about many things we loved about her...

Murr's gravestone was still being made.


Kacie said, "Mom lets take our pict. with Murr." So we did.

At Uncle Greg's and Aunt Twila's enjoying the hot sun. Thanks guys for letting us come invade your pool for the afternoon. We all had a great time!








Getting ready to slide. Later Nana made pudding and they had a food fight. And then they got on the slide again to wash off. The cousins had a blast!








Some of the evenings we had a campfire and made smores.









Lots of time on the swing set...







Papa loves his "sugar"!!
