A Wonderful Week

Wow. Did I have a great week. With Meagan and Jackson coming here, then us going to Midland and seeing the family and then spending more time here at home with Tony, Meg and Jackson, its been the best.

Mom and Jacksons first meeting.

Cindi and son Monty with his girlfriend Adriane. She is real nice.

The proud mommies. Bekka with Kaden and Meagan with Jackson. Those two always have a blast together......even with crying babies.

Every one of my brothers and sisters plus my aunt and uncle were at my moms house Tuesday night for a homemade mexican food dinner. Yep, thats right. All TEN of them and the sister and brother-in-laws. Then their kids with their kids.....well, it was a housefull. I estimate about 45 or 50 were there to initiate Jackson to his really big family. Bekka (Megs best friend) and her two were there also. Bekkas new baby, Kaden, was born just one day after Jackson. And her son Kyler is just great. He is so funny.

Bekkas son Kyler. He is such a great kid.

The two boys...Kaden and Jackson. Destined to be best friends.

My mom had so much fun. Sadly, its getting to be a rarity for everyone to show up at the same time, except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But this event was wonderful. We just had a blast. When all of us get together, we have the best time with all of the talking, laughing and cutting up like only brothers and sisters will.

It was really sad to see Meagan and Jackson go home to Arlington , but they needed to get home to see Daddy ( Jeremiah). I know he missed those two like crazy, and I know Meg and Jackson missed him. Jeremiahs mom lives in Odessa (only 20 miles from Midland), so we were so happy she was able to come over to my moms to see them a couple times this week.

Now its time to get back in the regular grind of things, but these last few days have been a blessing. I love my kids and I love my family. I'm so, so very lucky.
