Mason shooting some targets with Granddad

Mason wanted to shoot targets like the rest of the guys. So Granddad made sure he got plenty of shooting time.

Taylor Feeding Angel the Deer

Taylor enjoyed feeding probably the only wild deer I know that will come up to you. Her name is Angel and she had two babies since we saw her last year.

Leakey Tx Family Vacation

Last week, 15 of us gathered down at the Host Reserve in Leakey, Tx and enjoyed some family time with my side of the family. We have decided to make this an annual vacation and this was our second time enjoying this beautiful property.

We even got to see Angel again. She must have known we were coming back.

Mason was so happy to see her again, he couldn't stop hugging her.

The kids made sure to get plenty of cuddle time with their Aunt Taylor (she is actually my cousin, but is more like a sister)

The guys made sure to take advantage of the golf range right outside our door. We had the entire property to ourselves for a week. Adam's brother and his wife joined us for a few days.

My mom is about to try her first ever Chicken Fried Bacon. Thankfully, she shared because it was so yummy.

I had a whole week to spend with one of my favorite people. 



Can you tell how much Taylor adores her Granddad

We got to sit on the porch and watch the sunset. One night we had everyone out doing some star gazing.

Every house should have a wrap around porch like this.

The Barn. This is where half of the group stayed. It's also Mason's favorite place on earth.

You can't spend a week in the country without a little target practice. Next year, Taylor gets to sit in Granddad's lap and shoot a few rounds.





Aunt Emily & Taylor. I wish I could write out how Taylor says Emily. I hope it sticks because it is darn cute.

Ready to go to the river.



The last day we went to the river, Taylor wanted to make sure I got a picture of her pig tails and her bathing suit.

It wouldn't be a family vacation without atleast one of the kids getting upset. I couldn't help but get a picture of this face.



Mason picked these sunglasses out for Taylor. He said  they make him think of her.

Our only attempt at a family photo.

It was a fantastic week of relaxation. It really is Mason & Taylor's favorite place on earth. We made some wonderful memories.

Dancing the night away...
