New Nephew - Paxton Slade

I'm behind as usual but trying to catch some of these up.

The Fleischman's added a new little man to the bunch on June 1. Pat and Krista had their first baby - Paxton Slade Fleischman. So over 4th of July we took a trip to Lubbock to meet the new little guy. I didn't get many good pics - he was busy making the rounds through all of us. Here are a couple of Paxton hanging out with Aunt Susan.


Pat has a new toy which Branson was only too willing to test out lol. He drove all the other kids around the culdesac in it.


Grandma even took a ride.

The older boys watching....it only lasted so long before they had to go commandeer the golf cart and attempt to "pop a wheelie" and drag it all the way to the end of the culdesac sparking the whole way. Such crazy boys!


Because Andrew has such a crummily timed birthday 2 days after Christmas we are wanting to celebrate half birthdays with him and let him have his own special time separate from Christmas. So Grandma and Grandpa found the perfect gift for his half birthday knowing of his Cars obsession. He was much more interested in what was under the paper this time than he was at Christmas last year.


And once he saw what was in there he couldn't get it open fast enough. (it is still one of his favorite toys although half the buttons don't work anymore because he has worn them out)


Macy was such a good "mom" following Andrew around on his new toy and making sure he didn't go into the street and playing with him. He was loving his cousins and all


We had a nice time hanging out with the family and meeting our new nephew/cousin Paxton.

Visiting Aunt Becky..

And Uncle Kent, and Amy, KC, Loretta, Colt and Chandler. I haven't gotten to spend time with them in forever. I think the last time I had seen Amy and Loretta was at Uncle Kay's funeral 6 years ago and Uncle Kent and Aunt Becky was probably 4 years ago. So when I found out they were going to be in New Braunfels hanging out I couldn't pass up the opportunity to invite myself and family along. I used to spend all of my summers with these crazy folks and definitely miss them. I only wish Kara, Melinda, Teresa and Leslie could have been there with their families too.

It was a quick trip but we drove down Saturday afternoon and spent most of Sunday in New Braunfels at the Wyndham Suites. Such a nice place to stay. We had a full kitchen and plenty of room for all of us.

Saturday night we all went out to eat and this great little restaraunt in Gruene right off of the river....Or what is left of the river anyways. It was a late night but Andrew was a total trooper and had a great time!


Sunday we hung out at the pool, grilled and just took it easy. So glad we got to go join in the fun and catch up!
