Braces off and Cousin time

Yay! Madisen got her braces off! She has a beautiful smile! 

 

Cousin Time

Our cousins visited us and we did the usual snow cones and played tag outside. This is our awkward huge.

 

My Twin Cousin!

My twin cousin, Andrea stopped by my parents house on the way home from visiting a friend. We got to hang out and talk for a few hours and get caught up. I am only 3 hours older than her, and boy do I feel it! ;)  Andrea is great and we have a lot of fun childhood memories together that I hold dear. 

Grandpa Newman's 86th Birthday!

My Grandpa Newman's birthday party! We go down every year in January and celebrate his birthday with all my aunts and cousins that can attend. This year many families attended and it was a fun time surprising and showering my grandpa with gifts! We sure love you Grandpa Newman! 

Colton visiting

We love when Colton comes to visit! We always have a great time with him and we love the special time we get with him as it only happens a few times a year. Boy! Are these kids getting big!

Cousin Colton Visits

We always love when we get to have Colton come and stay with us for 4-5 days each summer. The girls enjoy spending time with him and it's fun for us to talk with Colton and hear how life is going for him back in Texas. He is a great kid!

Cousin Colton

We love it when cousin Colton comes for a visit. We usually get to keep him for 4-5 days each summer and it's become tradition to get snow cones every time he comes.  We went swimming a few times and celebrated his birthday a few days early before we had to take him back home. We love you Colton!
