Hunting Camp

My parents, grandparents, John and I took Andrew, Ellen, and Madeline to south Texas for a fun trip. We had a blast although I don't think we'll be doing it again next year.....maybe in a few years. They played with dirt, pulled out sticker burs, petted dogs, etc... Ellen kept reminding us "Don't touch the cactus!" I guess we did a good job of warning them about the cactus because nobody tried to touch it.

Here's Madeline 5 minutes after we got there. Not afraid at all.

Here's Andrew and Ellen 10 min after we got there. These kids are dog people!
Everyone's "working" per Ellen and Andrew - filling buckets with dirt. My grandfather was thrilled they were using our eating spoons for digging. How do you like the fancy camo reclining lawn chairs?
And the best picture - A&E playing with dead birds. They loved them and didn't want to let go!

It was a great trip and it was so fun to watch the kids interact and explore!

Get excited because Christmas pics will be in the next update!

Christmas at Carmona

Ok, it's been a while since I've posted....again. I still don't have Christmas Day uploaded yet. It will come soon (probably). Anyway, these are some picture from Carmona where we celebrated Christmas with my dad's family.

Could A&E and I look any cuter?!?


Ellen got princess dress-up clothes. She loved the shoes but wanted me to wear the tiara and boa. I think we look ready for the runway!

And, as usual, Madeline fell and busted her lip. She's pointing to it here - so sad. She was fine the next day.
We really had a good time riding on the country golf cart thingy, looking a horses and cows, and playing with our cousins. Next year will be even better with all 4 of our Gomez cousins!
