Family and Darker

We went to Houston this past weekend and it was too wonderful!!!!!
Friday night I was able to visit an old high school friend Amanda Langston at the FAMOUS Gringo's. It was so great to catch up with her, it seemed like no time had passed! I wish we would have gotten a pic, but hopefully we will see each other soon again!

Then Saturday we attempted pictures with Cade and his 4th cousin Sarah (the 2 babies on my mom's side). Well as you can imagine it was a DISASTER!!!! Sarah was a PERFECT angel and Cade, well, he was HORRIBLE!!!!!!! So we were able to capture many cute pics of Sarah and just one with the two of them, and Cade's expression was the same as when he saw Santa last month. I will post as soon as we get them, just for a good laugh. I hope Cade out-grows this whole separation anxiety thing, it's depressing, embarrassing, and just ridiculous (or RI-DIC and my MIL likes to say)!

Saturday afternoon we had our family all together. It was so great to see everyone. I hadn't seen Kim (my cousin I grew up with, she's almost like a sister to me, I lived with her for a few years when I was little) in over 3 years, my cousin Beth (Kim's sister, bridesmaid in my wedding) since my wedding, Brittnie (Kim's daughter) in over 2 years, Rodney (my 2nd cousin) in about a year, and I had never met Sarah (Brittnie's daughter, newest addition to our family). It was a very nice visit and I truly hope we never go this long again without seeing each other.



Aryn and Anna also came by for a short visit. Anna is a doll. Her hair is getting curly and she makes you melt!


Another high school friend of mine came by as well, and we didn't get a pic either :( Brandy has a 3 yr old baby girl named Ellery. She is the smartest kid I have ever been around. It's amazing all the stuff she knows and can do! But if you know Brandy or if you have read Brandy's husbands abstract about some quite/passive stuff, you would know where she got it from!
Besides the Cowboys losing on Sunday before we flew out, it was a great trip!
Oh the darker part of my title, my hair. It's my natural color with a few highlights on top. I had no idea how dark my hair had gotten. But I love the new look! If you don't like it, well sorry, it's staying :)

It was so wonderful to see you! Ellery told me on the way home, "the babies are sleeping but Ms. Pennie will wake them up for breakfast tomorrow."

And I LOVE your hair. I'm tempted to try it myself.
