Helping Nonna with the Horses

After the fun weekend, it was time to travel back to Olney for the week, and get involved in some chores at the farm house. Shelby was all about feeding the horses.I was taking pics when the baby tried to follow the herd. Instead of going through the open gate, he.......tried to jump the fence.
And it didn't go well. :-<
But he was back up and at 'em.
Shelby is allergic to cat dander so he was careful not to touch Tinkerbell too much.
Nonna, where's the other dogs that used to be here?
Tinkerbell and the horses are hilarious together. Headed home I had to pull over and get this shot.

Texas: Thousand Trails Day 3

We had family photo time. Notice the gap in the picture? Now I need to work on photoshopping Stacy in so mom can have her updated family photo.
Dad and Grandma. Grandma is suffering from alzheimer's and it was quite disturbing to see how quickly this awful disease can take someone from recognition to confusion.
Great grandmothers

Texas: Thousand Trails Day 2

It was soooo hot, and Shelby was showing it on his face.Sure smiles for Aunt Sharla though!

Push us higher, Nonna!
Lil monkeys
So typical. Saige couldn't walk around, she had to disturb the boys by plowing through their game.
Look at those determined faces.
Pool time
So sweetAunt T's babies
Let's calm down in the A/C for a bit...
Uncle D came and told us Nonna found a treasure map in the cabin. The kids were so excited to go on a treasure hunt. D had created little maps and clues.
There was this really great swing in a big random tree.
There's the treasure!
Pretty sure we mentioned to watch for spiders. Saige & Daxton took off running.
So Shelby brought Dax his treasure.
Arrrr....we found treasure mateys!
Saige & Grandma are cuddly

2 Hot Mama's

I would like to acknowledge an ironic moment. I got my sister-in-law, Harper's comment on the last post: Oh my goodness your brother's family is GORGEOUS! Look at all those curls and Sharla is just beautiful! Jealous of all that thick hair!
And what's so funny to me is what I tell people, like at work when they see my family photos. "I have the two most GORGEOUS sister-in-laws!" And everyone oooh's and aaah's over all the kids pics: Saige & Dax and MaryAnn & Trace. For a while people I didn't know well would say "Wow, how many kids do you have, 5!" Nope....just one, but they're all my babies, so I display them just as prominently!

Thanks for the sweet comment, Harper. But today I'd like to honor BOTH of my HOT MAMA, SUPER SEXY, CRAZY TALENTED, AMAZING MOM sister-in-laws!
Love you guys.
