Dad's Retirement

On March 30, 2013 my dad retired from ExxonMobil. In honor of his retirement he had a company retirement party at Perry's Steakhouse in which my brother and sister and their families flew in for. It was so fun to have them all together but we sure did miss my other brother Chris and his family. While everyone was here we had a fun time playing and having the kids catch up with their cousins!

We started our time with a party for Cavin and then a sleepover with the oldest two in my family and my brother Corey's and then headed to church! The kids missed their cousins, so it was fun to get them together again!

 Next we went to Galveston and the weather was great!

John and Cavin, aren't they handsome!? John was kind enough to play with Cavin even though he is several years younger.

Our littlest munchkin loves her some cheetos! I'm sad we didn't get a picture of Corey's twins James and Emma. James was loving the water!

After the beach the plague started to hit and Ella got the stomach bug and throughout the next few weeks it slowly went through several members of the family. So, we stayed pretty close to home. We were able to all go to the retirement dinner which was wonderful and then a few days later after Corey's family left we went with my sister Marisa and her kids to the Children's museum.

Grandpa joined us on our trip and we ended up having to eat lunch in the back of the pickup truck because we kept getting booted to a new spot, but we had a fun time!

We had a nice visit with our cousins and I am so glad such a wonderful thing brought us together! Congrats Dad!
