Home Again...Home Again

Home Again...Home Again...jiggidy jog! We made our trip home and had the best time!

First stop...SURPRISE Uncle Ronnie for his 60th birthday! Aunt Carla has been planning this birthday party since before Christmas...and boy did the hard work pay off! The food was scrumptious, band hoppin', and best of all was the company! Here are a few pictures from our stop in Starkville:

MaLyn fed Hughes after his long ride home!

Granddaddy Brown and Hughes checked each other out!

Kent and Francie took a whirl around the dance floor!

Mary Love and Harlan danced a little jig, too!

Hughes thought Aunt Ruby was very entertaining!

Next stop...Baldwyn, Mississippi! Hughes made his first trip to Papa Sam and Gran's house on the 31st of August! Ben scooped him up as soon as we walked in the door!

Uncle Ben and Hughes talked a bit before bedtime!

Morning Brunch at Mama Jean's house...yum yum! Chocolate gravy, biscuits, fruit pizza, eggs, REAL sausage, bacon, breakfast casserole, and hot coffee...does it get any better? But before we can bless the food and eat our breakfast, Hughes had to meet his Great Mama Jean!

One great gran just won't do...

Great Mama Jean must have two!!!

Now Hughes made the trip over to meet Great Grandmother and Granddaddy! What is it about Grandmother's house that makes you won't to take a nap? My belief is that you sleep best when you feel safe and comfortable. Well, Kent must have felt comfortable as ever, because he stretched out on the love seat, snuggled up with some pillows and took a mini snoozer. But first, Grandmother got to feed Hughes right when he walked in the door.

Then, Granddaddy had to get some snuggle time, too!

The above picture is near and dear! Every child, grandchild, and great grandchild has taken a nap on these quilts! They are so soft and see through in some places! Hughes had to pull them out of the back closet for a photo op! While we were getting the blankets, we found the truck, trailer and race car! I remember these toys when I was a little girl...I am sure everyone remembers these toys! So, it was only appropriate that Hughes would play with them, too!

Side Note: I used to LOVE getting pulled around the house on these quilts! Why was that so much fun? A quilt ride...nothing better when you are small...Actually, I would still enjoy a quilt ride!

Did anyone else do this when they were a small tot?

After telling Great Grandmother and Granddaddy good-bye (no worries we will be back for lunch after church tomorrow!), we headed back over to Mama Jeans for a fun game of the Newly Weds. Any couple that had been married for two years or less participated! Alise, Aunt Laura, Autumn, and Bronwyn headed this game up! Here were some of the questions:

1. How many times a day does your husband tell you he loves you?

2. What time of day do you KNOW your spouse will call you?

3. What is your wife's favorite accessory?

Bronwyn and Eric were the clear winners of the Newly Wed Game!

Well, if you play the newly wed game, you must play the Goldy Wed Game!

....pause...I am now typing with one hand...Sweet Baby boy was fighting his sleep and he needed Lil Mama to rock...so this blog will end soon!

...Back to the game...Goldy Wed includes all other couples! Example questions:

1. If your spouse was given $1000 what would he/she spend it on? (most answers involved grand kids!)

2. If your husband were to go anywhere on vacay, where would he go?

3. Where was you first date?

4. Where was your first kiss? (LOCATION)

5. What was your first fight about?

6. What is your husband's favorite meal that you cook?

Chip and Nancy were the big winners of Goldy Wed! I have no idea why we didn't take their celebratory photo! I guess these others will just have to do...my one arm is wearing out...we must go..until next time!

Baby Estella's future is so bright!

Baby Hughes with Uncle Brad and Emma Kate!

Baby Hughes just chillin'!Papa Sam and Hughes spending a little quality time together!We had a great time and can't wait to go back very soon!
