a graduation and fun on the farm!

Last weekend we loaded up a very packed car, filled with 3 mommas and 3 little boys and headed to Weatherford, OK where my Uncle Tim, Aunt Darla, and cousins Kathryn and Meredith live. Some special memories in this little town, as this is where my sweet Memo and Papo lived. My baby cousin (who I vividly remember carrying for hours upon end as an infant through Memo and Papo's house on her tummy) graduated from high school on Saturday. Hard to believe. She will be heading to OSU this fall and I couldn't be more excited and proud for her! Congrats Mere!

The Lowry's live on a farm, so we knew the boys would have a BALL. And that, they did. Even this morning as we were driving home from getting momma some coffee, Braidy said, "Let's go to Uncle Tim's house!" He'd stay there forever if I would let him!

We got there around 5 on Friday night, and within the first 20 minutes of being there the boys saw a snake, a "SCEEEEWY frog", a big dog, a couple cats, and lots of cows. The boys played and played outside and were happy as little larks. Braidy is still talking about the "SCeeeewy frog"...and how he screamed. Not sure why it was so scary to him, but it sure was. Uncle Tim got the 4 wheeler and took both boys on a ride to see the cows. They thought that was really fun. After dinner we got to go to the pig farm! Meredith had 7 baby piggies she's trying to sell, so we got to see them! Braidy loved them, even touched their noses. He got too close once and a pig started eating his shorts!!! He wasn't so sure about that!






Saturday was graduation. A 2 year old, an almost 3 year old, and a 6 month old sitting through a graduation = 2 hot, sweaty, stressed out mommas! They actually did pretty good and we made it long enough to see Mere walk the stage and get her diploma! After graduation they had a lunch at their house and we visited and the boys played some more. Without us knowing, they escaped the backyard and were playing up in the treehouse! Good thing a visitor commented on them having a great time on the treehouse, or they might have been half way to Texas by the time we realized they had escaped. Sneaky little fellas. The rest of the day we napped and played some more. We visited the cemetery where we placed some flowers on Memo and Papo's grave, just a little early for Memorial Day.


Sunday we went to church, and the boys stayed for Sunday School while we went to pack up our hotel rooms. Quin had a great time in Aunt Darla's class! He was wiped out after it was over! B and C had a fun time too...they were playing in sand when Jess went to pick them up...Braidy was sitting IN the tub of sand....go figure. Before we got ready to head home Mere got her horse for the boys to ride. Even the mommas got to ride...and Quin got his first horsey ride!






We had a great time, but we were all WORN OUT when we got home. The boys all did great on the ride there and back....we can't wait to go back and spend more time out there! More fun and sweet memories on the farm!
