Visiting TX Family

The kids and me went and spent 2 days with the Gullett side of the family. And 2 days with the Gary side of the family. As always we had a terrific time! All of my family are always so gracious in how they make time to visit with us!! We love you all so very much!

Kacie is always smiles when we go to TX. There is something about family that is so special!

Eating dinner at my Dad's house. Yummy Mexican food! This is Jake and Kacie with their great grandparents.





Kacie got to drive the tractor all by herself. She was soooo excited. Jake also drove it but it wasn't his first time. However the kids went with my Dad to check on one of his fields. On the way home Jacob got to drive the Chevy pick-up for about 10 miles. He was all smiles when he walked in the door!

Kids with their Grandad...Jodie's Dad.

It was Olton's (the town the Gullett side lives in) yearly festival when we were there. My Aunt and Uncle and cousins were in the parade. They are very involved with the Boyscouts.

Kids waiting to catch candy. I like this picture because here in KS where we live you won't see a modular truck. These trucks haul the big cotton bales.






After we left Olton, we went to Lubbock and met my Aunt Twyla and cousin Brandy for lunch. Later that evening my cousin Kai came over to Papa's house to hang out for awhile. It was so wonderful to catch up with all of them!

Papa is always taking in animals. Kacie really liked this cat!

Last summer Murr's headstone had not been made. We went out to visit Murr's grave. The headstone was beautiful! We also brought jugs of water for the flowers.

Papa was getting ready to get on one knee and kiss Murr's picture on the headstone. He says that he gives her a kiss every time he comes out to visit her grave. It was a very touching moment...He misses his life partner so, so much. We sure miss Murr too!





Papa, Uncle Billy, the kids and me all went to church on Sunday morning. Aunt Gale slaved away in the kitchen and after church my cousins Amber and Brandy and their families came for lunch. My Uncle Les also stopped by for awhile. I love these times. They only happen once or twice a year so I cherish them greatly!

Kacie and Graham went to look at the pumpkins.

Jake ended up getting really sick. He had a super high temperature and his throat was very sore. We left Monday morning and drove all the way to the Dr.'s office in Wichita. I wasn't sure if we were going to make it. I am so thankful the speed limit just increased to 75mph!!!
