Arkansas Family Reunion

At the end of June we made the yearly trip to Arkansas for a long weekend of relaxation. This year was our year to host the reunion (families take turns yearly), this means cleaning, making drinks, cleaning, cooking and more cleaning. It's nice that our turn only comes around once every four years. Of course we had the best time. I think Moises enjoys the reunion as much as I do. Jorja was only four weeks old last year when we went so this year was much more fun filled for her. We did have a chance to take her over to the sandy beach to play. She was born a water-baby you know. The lake was right up her alley. Here are some pictures of our trip.

These are the guys just getting started.... and Jorja with Uncle David catching some Zzzz's.

Visit from Grammy

Grammy came in from Childress for Jorja's Birthday Party and stayed with us a week, we tried to keep her here a little longer. Her and Jorja were hanging out in the backyard together. Here are some of those moments captured on camera. Jorja must have really enjoyed Grammy being here because she started calling her Mama -

Jorja's 1st Birthday Party

Jorja's 1st Birthday Party was so much fun. A big "Thank you" goes out to all of you who were able to attend and help make this event perfect! We rented a bounce house and a margarita machine. I didn't think Jorja would get much use out of either of those things but I thought it would keep the other children and adults occupied. It turned out Jorja loved the bounce house. She even crawled up the landing and into the house on her own. Grammy Dixon made her beautiful Tinkerbell cake. Thank you Tammy-it was gorgeous! Jorja had to have a bath after demolishing her cake.

Since Jorja's big party was a couple of weeks after her official birthday, her Granny wanted us to go out for dinner and celebrate her big day. Here are a few pics of that event. We went to our favorite little mexican place, Los Lupes.
