Visiting Texas-alone

I was able to go visit my family 2 weekends ago with some extra points we had and it was so much fun! It was a little sad to leave my sweet husband behind and I missed him dearly. He stayed pretty busy with his brothers basketball tournaments and things so he barely noticed I was gone. haha kidding. I was only there for 3 days of of course who can see all their family members in 3 days? I barely did it!

This is us at church, we are missing Marcus who is on his Mission in Nebraska.

This is my cousin Brett. He is getting so big considering he was born extremely early. He let me hold him the whole time we were visinng him and I smothered him in kisses.
This is his new baby Brother Vance. I forgot how tiny 2 week old babies are! His fingers were extremely tiny! Vance was prescious.

Brett in his awesome chair!

Lia played "fluffy bunny" for the first time. lol

This is a few other cousins at my house watching TV with Lia.

Ethan couldn't pull his eyes away from to tv but atleast he turned his head! He is one of the funniest kids ever! He always has something hilarious to say and always keeps us laughing. He is a GREAT friend to Khalil and we love him!

Khalil is the sweetest thing. I miss him so much everytime I leave. His Dad, (my uncle) passed away a few years ago and my heart aches for him to have a normal life. He is SO sweet considering the circumstances he is in. I love him so much and I'm so grateful I got to visit when he was there.

This is adorable Aaliyah, She is also the sweetest little girl. She was an infant when he dad passed away. I remember after the funeral I was holding her in my arms and we both fell asleep cuddeling from such a long day of crying and heartache. She is an angel.

Lia made me cookies with her Easy Bake oven. They were SO tiny it was almost funny.

I braded Lia's hair and of course put a flower in it!

I didn't take many pictures, except of a few of my cousins but I'm so glad I got to spend time with everyone. It's hard leaving young cousins behind because I want them to remember me. It's always hard for me when they look at me and know I'm a familar face but they don't know why. I'm glad Khalil and Aaliyah remembered me and ran up to give me hugs and kisses. Ethan of course wants nothing to do with me cause i'm a "girl" and girls are gross. haha

Anyways it was great to see my family and I'm grateful that I had a chance to visit with them.
