Family Reunion

We went to the Simpson Family Reunion this weekend in Patton, Texas (just outside of Valley Mills). The kids were great on the two hour drive down and hardly fussed on the way back. Tony and I were both impressed with their car riding.

When we got to Patton, we got to see our cousins and extended family that we usually only see once or twice a year. This was the debut of the twins, so they were pretty popular. Harper just ate up the attention and took the time to smile at everyone who came over to talk to her. Jack was pretty easy going and enjoyed looking around and seeing all the new faces.

We ate lunch and spent about an hour or so with my side of the family. We also attempted to feed the kids while we were there. Jack did okay, but Harper would not eat outside- no way. After listening to her protest for about 10 minutes, I went to the truck on Tony suggestion and blasted the AC. Not only did Harper enjoy cooling off, she also decided to take her bottle- woo hoo!


On the way home from Patton, we decided to stop in and see Aunt Erica and Uncle Ryan. They moved into a new house in West, so it was nice to see their place and get to see Ryan and Erica one more time before they became a family of three. Here are some pictures on their porch.

I'm glad we went by, because today they welcomed their baby girl Emelia Noble Collett to the world at 3:11 pm weighing in at 8lbs and 6 oz. Mom and baby are doing well and we are very excited the kids have a new cousin to play with.

Also, a quick shout out to my Grandpa who has a birthday today!  Happy birthday! Here'a shot of him with Jack on Mother's Day.
