July 6-11 we spent a week in Abilene with Cookie and Papa, Jeff, Ami, Kiran, Ellery, and Olivia. It's not often that we all are under the same roof-especially Keri and Jeff! So we made the most of our week and loved our time together! Here are some of my favorite pictures from our week:
We all went to see Toy Story 3 (except Olivia and Cookie). The kids had planned this since May and we were all so excited to get together and go to the movies. We were thrilled when Papa got off work early enough to go with us!

We had lots of cousin bonding time. It rained a lot that week but if the sun was out these kiddos were outside playing in Cookie and Papa's beautiful backyard.
I love this picture of beautiful Livvy and beautiful Cookie
Since Ami, Jeff, and Keri are all HSU alums we spent one afternoon taking advantage of the wonderful HSU pool.
Our little fishy took a few trips off the diving board and perfected her belly flop.
I got to satisfy my craving for ice and snow cones at my favorite snow cone stand....yum! Addie and Ellery chose the flavor called princess. My friends and I all worked at this snow cone stand during high school and college and Annalee's parents own it. We created the flavor princess and I was so glad my little princess liked it!
The kids played for hours out in the backyard and enjoyed some cool (for TX) summer temperatures.
Jeff played guitar for the kiddos and let them join in.
After a few too many rainy days Cookie had the genius idea to ask the PE teachers at her school if we could come play in the gym. It was such a fun morning-the kids and adults had so much fun! Doak loved playing basketball with Papa, Keri, and Jeff.
We had a family fun night with pizza, a movie, and home made cake for dessert.
We all had plenty of time to get to know sweet Olivia better. She's just a precious baby!
Doak and Jeff bonded over their matching hair cuts!
And here's a smilebox I made with all the pictures I took. We had the greatest time together last week and can't wait to get together again!
