After most of the week being pretty quiet at my parent’s house, all of my siblings and their families started arriving. Which means chaos, loud chaos.

This was the first time that a lot of my siblings like Tanya met Reese.

There is always something going on when you have this many people together.

dsc_0509This was Mia’s first time playing Hand and Foot with our whole family. She was amazing of course.

dsc_0516Ally was so wonderful and had a blast entertaining Reese.

To say she was thrilled was an understatement…birds of a feather these two.

img_4302Reese at Church on Sunday with Grant.

We had a great time in Houston with family it was loud, messy, chaotic, and a blast.

img_4369

Our trip home was kind of rocky since they cancelled Reese’s and my flight home since we didn’t take the first portion. So they ended up not having an opening and a HUGE waiting list of standby people as well as only one flight to Huntsville from Houston.  So, I ended up having to fly to by myself with Reese again. We flew to Birmingham, AL and had to wait at the airport for 3 hours for Grant to fly to Huntsville, AL and then drive 2 hours to Birmingham to pick us up. We then had to turn right around and drive the 2 hours back home. That portion was the worst,but luckily we were all safe and sound back home.
