We went to Texas and now we're back

The girls and I just got back from two weeks in Texas. We went down for my
cousin/roommate/bff's wedding in Houston, which was so awesome. Marc was supposed to go with us, but ended up getting into some more training, so he had to stay behind, poor guy. We flew into San Antonio, and then turned around and drove to Houston the next morning for the wedding. It was so wonderful to get to see Sarah getting married in the temple!

Sarah and her new hubby with all her cute nieces and nephews



She wore some awesome green socks and white vans with her gorgeous dress





Sarah and Angie. You should be totally jealous if you didn't get to live with these two at BYU. We hadn't been all together since before Sarah left on her mission, I was sad we only got to hang out for one day, but glad that I at least got to see them for a little while!



After the wedding Teresa, Nora, and I hung out in Baytown with Gigi and Poppie for a few days. The girls had a blast, especially T, of course. She loved playing with Scout in the backyard (she called her "Stout"). She thought it was absolutely hilarious when Scout would play fetch. She also had fun playing with some cousins and seeing lots of other family. Nora hung around looking sleepy and cute a lot.







Cute hat right? This is the same hat she screamed and cried about being forced to wear the first time we saw it at Target. Now she loves it, she wears it pretty much every day, silly girl.



Nora met her great-Granny Milligan



And T kept Gigi on her toes quite a bit...






After our adventures in Baytown we headed back to Boerne for the rest of our trip. Teresa found some of Granny's shoes and pranced around the house in them for awhile. She's pretty stylish, they exactly matched the stripe of pink in her dress.







Nora lounged around and soaked up some sun.





After a few days in Boerne we loaded up again and went to Austin to visit Aislinn's family, and for T's first Easter egg 'hunt'. T fell asleep in the car:



How do kids sleep like that? It looks totally uncomfortable. Anyway, we got to Austin, and to the cousins! T and Nora both adored all the attention. But, seriously, this blog post is long enough already, I'll have to post about the rest of it another day...

This is Mom ... hi there, that was a great trip, and we all enjoyed having you three here, and are sorry Marc didn't get to come too. Yes, Teresa knows how to keep everyone on their toes :)... and these days she is too busy to take time out to smile for the camera much! You did get some nice pics though. Love, Mom (Dad too) xox

Dude, way to leave it hanging! What a fun trip! I love Sarah's sock and shoe choice, that rocks. T's hair is so cute up in the two pigtails! I soooo love her curls. And the pink heels! Awesome. Nora is aDORable, as usual. She looks so arm-wedgable. That's totally a word. I like the pics with Gigi in the backyard (and T's pigtails!) where Nora's perched up there, on her shoulder, just hanging out :)

I am so sad we didn't get down to Baytown to see you guys. It would have been so fun for T and Malakai to hang out. I love her dress and heels...Hannah has the same dress but I do not have pink heels to complete the look. And I am especially sad that I still haven't had the chance to snuggle Nora. She is so adorable!!

Oh, and N got to meet great-Granny, that's just priceless...T seems to be walking in those heels quite well, haha, she's a natural.
