Ok, It has taken me a while to get things going after getting back from vacation, but here I am. We recently returned from a trip to Oklahoma for a family reunion with my family. We also made two short stops in Plano, TX on our way to and from Oklahoma. We had fun with everyone we saw.

In Oklahoma we had a lot of fun seeing all of my siblings and their kids again. It has been 2 years since we have all been together. We were able to just about everything we planned to do. We had one day of rain, but we went bowling in the morning and the only thing we missed out on was playing outside in the afternoon. We were supposed to have an outside bar-b-que, but we just did that inside instead.

Everyone had a lot of fun and I think we are looking forward to being together again. At the reunion we got to meet my newest nephew, Jackman. He was born just two weeks before the reunion and adopted by my brother and his wife. We were all excited to see the new baby.

On our way back to Houston, as I said earlier, we made a stop in Plano for a couple of nights. On the morning of Father's day, another new nephew was born. Tyler was born to Brian's brother and his wife just in time for us to stop by the hospital and see him on the way out of town. Jeremy was so excited because all weekend he was hoping that he would be able to see Tyler before we left.

Below you will see some pictures of things that we did on our trip. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

Oh, I almost forgot! The very first picture is of Jeremy and Max. We had taken our hair clippers to buzz their hair after our family pictures had been taken (I didn't want them to have buzzed heads for pictures, although they do look pretty cute!). The day before pictures their cousin Scott had his hair cut and his dad had given him a mohawk. Jeremy is always asking for a mohawk, so we decided to let the boys have mohawks for a few days. They (especially Jeremy) were very excited about this and enjoyed showing it off.

Enjoy the pictures.
