Since I am actually writing this post at the end of February I have one goal--to finish it. The easiest way for me to do that is to post the pictures with captions, so, enjoy!

 |
| Story checking out Daddy's moves. |
 |
| Uncle Brandon |
 |
| Whoa, Story! |
 |
| I hope Katie didn't want to actually skate:-) She had a child by the hand the whole time. |
 |
| My feet oh my feet, my legs oh my legs! |
 |
| Daddy, "What's wrong with you?" |
 |
| Katie was finally able to ditch all my girls, but she didn't show us her moves:-( |

 |
| Faith Meadow came over for a tea party. |
 |
| Faith and Lyric at the park. |
 |
| Story, Faith and Lyric |

 |
| Sweet Cadence |
 |
| Story Bell giving a push |
 |
| Story Bell having a swing. |
 |
| More swinging. |
 |
| Grammy attempted to get all five grand-kids and Faith. |
 |
| Kenzie and Wesley had the most paitence for it. |
 |
| They didn't mind posing. |
 |
| Grammy did get all five of the grand-kids in front of the fireplace. She bribed them with candy. I heard her;-) |
 |
| Not a very good picture of Cadence or Story, but I love the the way Leah is looking at Cadence-so sweet. |
 |
| I was shocked Grammy had enough aprons for all of these rugrats:-) |
 |
| Love this one! That is a lot of kiddos! |
 |
| Grammy is so patient. She let everyone help in making the dough. |
 |
| Logan working hard using his cookie cutter. |
 |
| Miss Lyric was in a picture taking mood! |
 |
| Story Bell reluctantly posing for me. |
 |
| Roll that dough, Logan. |
 |
| I think I might have scared her when I asked her to pose. |
 |
| Yummy icing, Faith? |
 |
| Lyric wanted to pose with every cookie she decorated! |
 |
| There were lots! I'm only posting two:-) |
Story decided she wanted to go bowling for her birthday gift from Grammy and Bob. Lyric is the only one of the girls who has bowled before, but she was too young to remember it. So bowling was a pretty big adventure! Grammy and Bob didn't bowl, so it wasn't as fun as it could have been.
 |
| Devon almost fell every time he bowled, so it was pretty entertaining. |
 |
| Cadence's ball had to be retrieved a couple of times for not making it down the lane. |
 |
Story picking my 'molee' while she waited her turn. Picking my moles has always been a comfort for her.
|
The last day of our trip we met Caba and KK at Uncle Trent's to spend the day.
 |
| Caba grilled everyone sandwiches. |
 |
| Zayden had a good time with Lyric's duck. |
 |
| Story bought Zayden some Spiderman bath wash. I think he liked it! |
 |
| We had a good time playing at the park! |
 |
| I wanted to get a picture of all the cousins before we left, They actually cooperated... |
 |
| and cooperated... |
 |
| and cooperated! |
 |
| Lyric and Z watching Cars 2 |
 |
| She looks like she is licking his face, but she is actually just being a goofball. |
 | |
| Everyone was pretty tired when we left. |
We had a wonderful time in Texas and were so thankful to be able to make the trip!
