gampa's retirement

a few weeks ago we went to albuquerque to celebrate my gampa's retirement from hcpc. we surprised him on friday, and then lula and my three oldest cousins surprised him on saturday. we were all so glad to be there for him on the day of his retirement. we love you, gampa!

gampa is loved by all

gampa and his brothers...along with cousin brock

gampa getting a hug from pastor larry moss. he was hcpc's
senior pastor for many, many years, and was daddy's boss, too.

everyone had something special to say

my cousins and i were a pleasant surprise to gampa...
he had no idea we were all coming!

happy birthday cousin truett!

this is a special shout out to my cousin truett who turned ONE YEAR OLD yesterday!! i can't wait to see you in florida where we can both play in the water together and you can show me a few things...like walking. hope you had a great birthday! love you.

time with cousin annie

with four brothers, my cousin anabel knows a thing or two about caring for younger boys. i love sitting with her and letting her watch out for me while mommy and daddy hang out with lula and mo.

me and the boys

it's so much fun hanging out with four other boys. i love my cousins and look forward to making many more memories in the years to come.

happy thanksgiving!

i'm having so much fun hanging out with all my cousins.

me, truett, rye, reagan, anabel, jackson

more birthday fun

so as you can see, october and november are really big months in our family - we start with gampa's birthday followed by daddy's, lula's, and anabel's. gampa and grammie's anniversary is the same day as annie's birthday. then november brings grammie's and my cousin jackson's birthdays.

this birthday wish is now just for jackson. i can't wait to meet you in a couple weeks and wish you happy birthday in person!

happy birthday cousin jackson!

a day of happies

this special post goes out to three of my favorite people on their very happy day.

happy birthday, cousin anabel!

i can't wait to meet you at thanksgiving. i hope you enjoyed your day and really enjoy your presents, especially the one from us...i picked it out myself!

happy anniversary, gampa and grammie!

mommy told me, 41 years of marriage...amazing! thanks for being such a good gampa and grammie and for loving each other so much, even more than you love me! i love you so much and am looking forward to spending my first christmas with you!
