Our Vacay to SOUTH TEXAS

It had been almost a whole year since the quads last visited their Great Grandparents! We have been itching to get back there (a 5.5 hour drive) as soon as we could! Here are some of my favorite pics from this past weekend.

The quads invading their Great Grandparents' home! (but I don't think they minded! wink, wink)



Savannah kindly sharing her "ketchup"


Little E getting some sweet sugar from "Suu-gah" (as Drew calls her)



The 3 "Stephens" and Sav (Benjamin STEPHEN was named after his Papa, Grandpapa, and Uncle Col--Steven Collin)



Lots of kisses! (E)



Ethan chatting with Sugar



Drew was more obsessed interested in his lawn mower than getting kisses (he later would not stop flirting with his "Su-gah"...he LOVES his Great Grandmother)



My sweet grandmother---love her dearly. (This post is bittersweet b/c my BFF, Gen McNulty just lost her Nani last night--please go send her some serious bloggie love)


Lets move this paartaaay outside, shall we? Aunt Susan playing with Andrew and Ethan in my Grandfather's BEEEEEAUTIFUL big backyard!



Mama with Drew, Grandpapa with Ethan, Ben, Sav, and Dadda (come on, guys--SMILE!--its not gonna kill you! LOL)



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)



.........now they don't (identical tantrums- OH JOY!)



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!
