Benjamin and Savannah playing with their new boats
The twins are seriously OBSESSED with their lawn mowers--that will come in handy for good 'ole dad when they are older! Now they have 'em.......... (Drew left, E right)

Mama and Sav chillaxin by the pool
It was fun for my grandparents to enjoy the kiddies while they played in the pool...just everyday things they don't get to be a part of
A little pick-up game of softball. (not really, but it looks like it!) Mom pitching while the quads "man the field" (E at 1st, Ben covering 2nd, Sav at short stop- how appropriate, and Drew playing 3rd)---Daddy catching
Drew and Grandpapa
Lil Bud-E gettin' tired in Dadda's arms
My fairy princess "mowing the lawn"
Sav just LOVED her outfit from her Urech Quad Girffff-friends! (Thanks Misty!! It is TOO CUTE!)
My silly little men (Drew, Ben)
Saturday night we headed over to my Aunt Susan and Uncle Ronnie's GORGEOUS house in Boerne, TX. We had SO much fun!!!
Aunt Susan made us a yummy breakfast! (Drew, Ben, Ethan, Sav)
And Uncle Ronnie took us each for our very first ride on a tractor!
Savannah and Ben, waiting their turn
Our little "city kids" LOVED their tractor rides! (Drew, Sav, Ethan, Ben)
And we made it home safe and sound! PHEWWW! Our children are more than blessed to have their Great Grandparents in their lives---Papa and Sugar, thanks for letting us come play!

Only in Uvalde do you find gorgeous trees like the ones in your grandparents' back yard! Looks like y'all had fun!
I am so impressed you are able to travel with your kids and they do so well. Did you bring all of the toys and pool with you?

How fun!!!! I agree - there is NOTHING as wonderful as great grandparents!!! So glad you all had a great trip!!!! Love you!!!!!
That is so wonderful that you guys were able to spend some time with the generations! Serious lifetime memories huh? Loved the fairy princess outfit on Sav! So sweet. My son LOVED his lawn mower when he was the quad's age. He called it his "nun nun".
Thanks for sharing your fun family trip with us!

Great post! Love the last pic of all y'all on the tractor. A framer!
So I knew you dressed Drew in stripes, but it looks like you've also assigned colors to tell your kids' stuff/pictures apart?? Brilliant!! =)
What a great post. Great grandparents are the best. Sav looked adorable in her fairy dress but when doesn't she?
Sounds like a wonderful trip
(by the way..you and Gen friendship is so amazing...you 2 are always right there for eachother and it shines through each of your posts/comments)
Great pics as usual! ;)
So precious!! You truly are blessed to have them in your life! There are so many days I wish my grandparents could be here to meet my precious babies...they would have LOVED them so much!!! I say that with a warm heart... not to make you sad! It is awesome that you are able to share your babies with so many who love you!!!
It is great that you travel with them like that. Do they do good at naps and night? Just curious.
You guys are great parents. I know it is tough!
Hugs,
Janell
I love Sav's little white outfit - where is it from??
Aww that was very sweet!! Your kiddos are lucky to know their great grandparents!! :) Cute pictures Suz :)
What fun you all had! Glad the trip was a great time for everyone!
I am a lurker but I decided to tell you that I love your blog! I love all the pics and stories! You have beautiful kids!!
it is just so crazy to me that the quads were in uvalde!!! i hope our trips down there will coincide sometime... maybe charla can introduce us!
What a blessing to get to know the GreatGrands! My little guy lost his GreatGrandpa (who he called GGPa) when he was 3...the pictures with GGPa and little Reese are some of the most precious I have.
Good for you guys, taking the time to make the looooong drive, and share family experiences like this :)
I just found your blog and I love it! You are such a beatiful woman and have a precious family! I read the whole birth story and everything, and it is just amazing! Look forward to keeping up!
I agree great grandparents are awesome and am so glad I get to share my son with them and that he knows who they are. Your kids are adorable and sav was so cute in her fairy princess outfit.
How fun! I'm so happy my son is able to spend time with his greats too, since I never got to.
Random quest:Where is your swimsuit from?? I love it, and am having a tough time finding one for my post-baby body :)
They are getting SOOOO big...look at those long legs hanging from the highchair.....too cute!
They are so adorable...love all the great pics! I love Sav mowing the "lawn" in her princess attire. :o)
Looks like you had a wonderful time and they are so lucky to have so many people that love them so much! Is it me or have they all gotten so much taller! It's crazy. Are they having a growth spurt? They are beautiful Suz!
And one more thing I forgot to "say" earlier...I chuckled aloud at the title of this post because "vaca" in Spanish means "cow." And when I first read your post, I pronounced it that way, then realized you were talking about a "vacay" and NOT a cow! HA!!
Oh my gosh they are getting so big! I am glad you guys had such a great time! Miss Sav looks adorable in her bows (of course)!
SWEETNESS...great grandparents are SO MUCH FUN!!! Glad you guys were able to spend some fabulous-bonding time with the family! The kiddos look like they are in HEAVEN!!! YAHOO for family time...love it!
