After Andy & I went to see the movie, "Courageous" last week, he took the initiative to contact our sons and offer to babysit and give them tickets to go see the movie here with their spouses. (We didn't think Jay & Amy would drive from Dallas for a movie---and later found out they thought about it! Shoot!!) David & Zach were able to take him up on his offer so they came for the weekend. The couples went to the movie Friday night while we watched the kids sleep. Ha!! (They went to the late movie.) These are photos from the weekend.
We hadn't had a baby around for three years when Dax showed up. We're all pretty enamored with him--including Aunt La-La.
Addie, Ryan & Dax--cousins
Um-D throwing Dax in the air.
We put Dax in the walker and showed Ryan & Addie that he could walk. They were cheering him on!
Addie didn't want him running into the stove, so she told him to "stop!"
Addie got to help Aunt Shanna feed Dax a bottle.
Zach, Shanna & Dax
David & Lindsey
Whenever we get together, it always involves football on the front lawn.
Ryan was all set to catch the ball when Uncle Hey interfered.
Liz came over Saturday and spent some time catching up with her grandchildren via blogs.
Our church was having a Chili Cook-Off tonight, and Andy began making his chili on Saturday.
He enlisted the help of Lindsey--one of the family's great cooks. I told her I was slightly offended. I offered Andy my recipe and he refused it.
Addie stepped in to stir the pot. Pops was telling her not to stir so hard. To which she replied, "I've done this before, Pops." We all had a good laugh.
Lindsey showed Liz a video of David leading a song during worship at Trinity Fellowship in Amarillo.
It felt like the holidays having some of our family here. Before Zach & Shanna left today, we even had a fire in the fireplace. Zach insisted that I put my Christmas tree up before he comes next time. Twist my arm, Zach.
