Weekend with the Colwick's

This weekend we loaded up the car and headed to visit Uncle Steven, Aunt Julie, and their precious daughter Caris.  Even though we only stayed one night, we had a blast!  This was the first time we have visited since they finished their new house and there was plenty of room for everyone! Needless to say, the girls were not ready to come home.  We had 2 reasons for visiting this weekend: 1st- Julie's birthday is Jan. 29 and Steven's is Jan. 30. 2nd (and most important I think)- Caris was being dedicated at their church.  Besides us crazy 4, my parents and Steven's parents and brother were in for the celebrations. I have posted a lot of pics from the weekend to help capture and treasure the fun time we had.

The girls are warming up to each other...hopefully, they will grow to be not only cousins, but GREAT friends!

Little girls had to have a "pre-dinner" before we all headed to Babe's to eat some delicious food!

We arrived at the all-famous Babe's in Granbury to have a birthday dinner honoring Steven and Julie.  The atmosphere is so fun and entertaining for all age groups.  Plus, it's loud inside, so if one of the babies threw a fit (of course mine would never do that...hahaha!)no one would even notice. The girls loved these chairs outside and sat in them while waiting to go inside to our table.

 

Cameron was in "awe" of this rooster and wanted to sit on him.  I tried to get Jaylee to sit with Cameron on the rooster, but she wouldn't have any part of it. :)

My dad (a.k.a. Granddaddy) with the oldest grandaughter.  She absolutely ADORES him!

If you know Jaylee or have seen pics of her, then you will recognize the famous "Jaylee goofy smile." Everytime you point a camera towards her, she will do this goofy, huge grin...so cute!

My wonderful sister (birthday girl) and sweet Caris.

My parents (Granddaddy and Gigi) with the 3 grandaughters...we need some boys!!! (Hint, hint Julie and Steven. )

On Sunday, we woke up to get ready to attend Caris' baby dedication at church.  It had to be the sweetest baby dedication I have attended...and I am not being partial.  My sister sang the prettiest song to Caris (forgot the name, but would make any mom tear up).  After she was singing and the music was still playing, Steven finished up with a prayer/poem that would make any dad tear-up. Before we headed out to church, I snapped a couple of pics of the girls outside the house...the weather was so nice!

After church, we all went back to the house for BBQ.  Besides the family, some of Julie and Steven's friends joined us for lunch.  Cameron had a great time playing wih some of the older kids.  At one point, the kids were running wild out back shouting "We saw a bear! We saw bear tracks!" Think they still have the movie "Yogi Bear" on their minds. When it was time to eat, we made the bigger kids eat outside and us adults ate in the house.  It was a great meal with great family and friends.

I know John and Steven must feel really outnumbered with all of us girls.  Thanks again Steven and Julie for opening your house to us.  We enjoyed spending time with all of you and getting to cuddle Caris.  We miss you all so much and can't wait to see you again!
