Del Rio 2011

We made an unexpected and very sad trip to Del Rio last week. Gene’s Grandmother passed away at the age of 88. She was an amazing and sweet woman. She cared about her kids, grandkids and great grandkids so much. Her love was over abundant and we will truly miss her. Despite the sad reason for making the trip we got to spend some quality time with cousins that we do not normally get to see. Everyone’s kids are about the same age so it was nice watching a new generation of kids run around, much like Gene and his cousins did I’m sure! This was the first trip where Trenton didn’t seem bored because he had so many cousins to play with. Trenton got to spend a little quality time with Big Dog by taking cans to the recycling place and then visiting his baseball field. He thought it was so funny that Big Dog’s old truck made a Vroom, Vroom, Vroom noise when it took off. It was hilarious when he would tell everyone the story!

Trenton and Raelynn

Trace got a new haircut before we headed down! He looks so much like Trenton now and so much more grown up!

Gene’s parents live on some land and there is a ditch by their house. What’s more fun than playing in a ditch full of leaves?

Big Brother was very cautious to make sure Trace did not slide down the side.

What goes down, must come back up! They played in this ditch for HOURS! At first I tried to keep Trace away, but gave in and he loved it! BOYS!

Sweet Raelynn!

Playing a little Peek-A-Boo under the bridge Big Dog made

Trace finally started crawling in and out himself. This boy really has no fear!

Trace was taking it all in as Daddy & Trenton were playing baseball

It was super cold towards the middle of the week. So cold that it was almost hard to go outside and play. I am glad I took our warm jackets. My boys cannot stay cooped up inside for long.

Trace would waddle around in this jacket like he couldn’t move!
