As I mentioned last week, we loaded up the family for a quick trip to Texas. We were fortunate to stay with the whole clan out at "Heaven's Seven Ranch." My parents are living here and enjoying it so much. I love hearing them talk about "country living" and all of the excitement that comes with it.
We had a fantastic visit and man, did we eat like kings (and queens). Kelley was amazing in the kitchen - and we had a wonderful time catching up with everyone. I loved that Grandma "Granddam" got to see my babies and I LOVED getting to hug my CANCER FREE Aunt Genie. God is awesome and faithful. We had a lot of blessings to celebrate this year. Alex and Carson had a blast playing with Scott & Kelley's kids - fun was had by all.
Back to the ranch...The family just got a new horse, Houdini. YaYa (my mom) was in heaven (literally) as she took us out for a ride. I think it's the happiest I've seen her in a few years. Especially in that moment. The pictures explain much better than I can:

| Did I mention Alex rode bareback?!? STUD! |
 |
| Amazing! So proud of my daughter |
 |
| Alex was patient and sweet - careful and cautious |

| Interesting clothing choice, eh? LOL! PJ's :) |
 |
| Happy girls! |
 |
| Alex loved leading me... |
 |
| Doesn't get better than this. Ever. |
 |
| YaYa and Sissy show Carson how to pet Houdini |
 |
| Carson was incredibly responsive and thought the horse was "awesome" |
 |
| The boys loved watching us girls play |
 |
| Hieee! Am I precious? |
 |
| Running, running, running |
 |
| Look at my mom's face - precious moments |
 |
| "Nice job, Carson" - he said that to himself after petting Houdini |
 |
| Kids and animals - one of my favorite combos |
 |
| Sweet girls - Natalee Grace and Alex |
 |
| Carson actually fed Houdini too! |
As you can see, it was a special, magical day for our family.
