We headed out in the darkness for our first trip back to Texas after 3 months in Tennessee. I originally thought of going home around Father's Day because we also have 2 family birthdays around that time. We will miss out on so many holidays and birthdays and this way we would get to be there for 2 dads, 1 mom, and 1 nephew all in 1 week. I started to feel like it was a little too soon for us to be making the 9.5 hour drive, but I knew that our parents were dead set on us coming and I couldn't bear disappointing them.
Nathan originally wanted to leave around 2 am and wake the kids up just to put them in the car to go back to sleep. I liked the idea of the kids sleeping, but not the idea of the parents staying awake. He wanted me to sleep but, besides the fact that it’s so uncomfortable, I feel like I need to keep one eye on him and one eye on the road. We ended up leaving at 11:3o pm on Thursday night and arrived in big Grand Prairie around 9:45 am on Friday. It was a very uncomfortable drive being so tired. The kids started off watching Mama Mia and then only slept about 3 hours. That was shocking.
We planned to stay the first couple of nights at Nathan's parents' house and immediately the kids wanted to hit the pool. We held them off long enough to eat lunch, but after that they jumped in as soon as possible.

They had so much fun in the pool. Cole went straight to the video games, and Brooke said she was going to "rest" on the couch for just a minute. Pretty girl couldn't keep her eyes open any longer and "rested" for a few hours.
CHRISTOPHER'S BIRTHDAY
That Saturday we celebrated our nephew's 14th birthday by the pool. How can he actually be 14 years old? Unbelievable. He was just about 4 months old when Nathan and I started dating. Now he already has his braces off and is going to be in high school. That sure doesn't make me feel any younger.
Harley wanted Nathan to throw her over and over and over again...That girl has absolutely no fear.
Cole just doesn't fly quite as high anymore.
Gotta love the diva sunglasses.
Cole is just the coolest.
Christopher is sunburned, Cole looks creepy, and Brooke looks like a doll.
