America, the beautiful!

Proud lil' American. Free to be who ever she chooses to be one day, we are so blessed to live in this great country. I just hope she chooses to keep clothes on one day.

Only a few times did we have to distract the girls from an arguement. Looks like uncle T was doing just that in this photo.

Finley loving life as she cools off in the 100+ degree weather and 90% humidity. Grandad and Nana

Jody, a third cousin and his son Riley, were amongst many, many new family members that we met.

This field was once cotton and is out Tim and Debbie's back door. We have the same picture of Sofia here when she was one and its awesome to be back here as our family has grown.

Nothing better than climbing on daddy. Loved hanging out at the hotel. A huge sign in the lobby greeted the Barton Reunion, yummy breakfast every morning, a few good runs were ran and the indoor pool was a family favorite. A meal at Saltlick. I never knew there was actual blocks of salt that cows lick. Jeff can't explain why but such a sight to see. Hundreds of cows lined up licking salt, funny. Bbq almost every night my dream come true. There is nothing like Texas food. This place was one of the best. We may move there just for that!

I usually don't put risque pictures of us on here but this is exactly how most of the nights ended. Beer in the hand, kids running everywhere and boys being boys. One of my handsome brother in laws, his gorgeous wife and they are holding my sweet new baby. Oh, wait, they still won't give her to me. I take those nice comments back until to hand her over! These two are best-est of buds, I love it! My favorite part of this picture is "team worry", quoted from Uncle T, behind the silly 2 year olds. There is a captain, Bella, and co captain, Finley. The names are a perfect fit. Cousin, Garrett, just enjoying the scene. Tim and Debbie on the left, hosted a beautiful and festive party with tons of food and special Texas touches everywhere. Jeff great photography was actually a surprise. We parked around a lake in a couple cars and watched the night light up in full celebration. The girls loved it! Many pictures of these two. I am amazed at this relationship daily. She is his carbon copy and he does no wrong in her eyes. Our red, white and blue girl in all her glory! Toads just hanging out, heaven for our crazy girls. Many, many of these great flags. We are so lucky to live here and be free.
