Long Overdue Post: Fort Worth Trip

About 3 weeks ago (yes, I'm behind), we spent a week of great family time in Ft Worth. And great family

time = many many great pics to choose from! I narrowed it down, really I did, and got to 72. I only expect the most dedicated of Reagan-fans to make it through the whole thing.... aka the grandparents. :) But the more the merrier of course! So, here ya go. This face sums up our time there:

R had the time of her life with her cousins. Adley and Corbin are SO sweet and so great with her, and they had a blast! She asks for them constantly still. Here is some peekaboo game she and Corbin played continuously.
Cousin Coloring-time
We frequented the waterpark (man, wish we had something similar to Hurst here!!), and Cassidee and Kendra got to come too one day!
Evidently it is REALLY fun to run into the water and sit down together over and over.
Sweet BFFs! :) How cute are they?!?!
More cuteness with Adley...
...and Corbin. Lots of hugs.
Everyone swimming in the pool.
Of course the tongue is sticking out!
Fun with Granddaddy: One... Two...
...THREE!!! She LOVED it!
Adley and David always have fun together in the pool.
Break for some yummies and a CapriSun.
Picnic!!!
We all went to eat at the RainforestCafe, and it was way fun... for everyone but R. She HATED all the jungle noises and lightning. It'll be awhile before we go back.
What can be better than this?!?
The balloon guy was really cool to the kids.
Adley's flower hat.
R just got a flower, not a hat. We were still recovering from the monkeys...
Each day was a different day o' fun. Next day, we hit the all time fave ChuckECheese. R still cheats in skeeball.
But she did this one for real and loved it!
Taking a ride with Corbin...
...and one with Adley.
Not sure what it's about, but I love Adley's pose here!
Mom sets up the kids' table at her house each time they are there, and this was the first time R graduated to it! Such the big girl with her cousins!
They brought R an early birthday present, and Adley read her the card.
The kids helped her open her Dora presents. Punching out the Memory cards was almost as fun as the actual game!

The party was actually for Corbin turning 5! While patiently waiting for cake, Adley read one of Reagan's new Dora books out loud. I love this pic.
"Happy Birthday dear Corbin!"
David and I took the kids to story time at the library. Here they are singing and doing the chicken dance!
(Thank you to Janet for these pics! I didn't have my camera... dumb!)

Janet and Joe had lots of us over to their house for "swimming pool-time!" Always such fun!
Corbin....

Adley....

and Reagan at the pool....

Ok, there were way more cute pics of more people, but this post was already long enough! So, here is just one cute one of the little kids' table.
What is better after a good swim and supper than some sidewalk chalk?! Check out both of their blue eyes in this one.... love it.
David and I rarely have a "just the 2 of us pic" anymore, so even though this one is TERRIBLE, I'm putting it anyways.
Post-bathtime, Pre-bedtime with Granddaddy and Grandmommy. LOVE this pic too.
After all those fun filled days, R got to also spend time at Grammy and Poppy's house for MORE fun! Awesome! Started with some Mexican food for Poppy's birthday.

Grammy's family has a tradition that "The Chipmunk" comes to visit when you stay at their house. The Chipmunk knows when you're there, and leaves presents at the front door in the mornings. The first morning, it was Play Doh!!
Here, she is showing you one of her PlayDoh animals.
PlayDoh also can make snakes/necklaces!
Only eat yummies, not PlayDoh!

One of her favorite spots at Grammy and Poppy's house!
We got to go to Cole and Tiffany's wedding Sat night, and of course when R saw Cass, they had to sit together!! And it was a bonus for R that it meant she ALSO got to sit with Jeremy! She loves her "Mer-mee." :)
Cutie friends just chatting it up before the ceremony. R made it through the slide show, but when the "big tv" was turned off, she got the boot to the nursery with Daddy.
This is one reason she and Granddaddy are such great friends! She loooooved the strawberries!
Roselyn was there too for some good BFF times.

And evidently R thought Cass's look in that last pic was so great that she decided to copy it! I would put other pics, but these were the only ones I got... but it is a sweet hug!
Speaking of sweet... this is about the sweetest thing I have EVER seen! It is the best candid shot we've ever gotten! LOVE IT!
The next morning...
... R got some serious snuggle and goofy time...
... with her Poppy. Love it.

R discovered Grammy's fan, and decided to do her model-thing with her hair blowing in the wind.


Poppy built (and I mean with his bare hands) a waterfall and fish pond in their backyard. It is AMAZING. Placed every rock, every plant, everything himself.
Here she is feeding Poppy's new fishies for the first time. We all know how fun THAT is! :)

(he built their patio too by the way... talent.) Taking a little stroll around the pond with Poppy.
And of course you gotta sit and put your feet in the river.
She liked finding pretty pebbles in the river-part.
Awwww.... love it.
Gazing at the pretty waterfall... can you tell where this is going??

And there it is!
Soggy diaper and dirty hiney!
Picking...
... and smelling the mint planted near the waterfall... yummy!!!
Whew!!! That is all!! It was such a fun week... thanks to the whole fam!!! Reagan has gone through the pics with me several times today while making the post, reliving and retelling me all about how much fun we had!

-

Have to say... we had loads of fun, but it was JAMpacked with weddings, showers, parties, two families... so we certainly didn't get to see everyone we would have liked to! Even about a week wasn't enough time! So please know that we missed seeing EVERYone and wished we could have!
