Westbound and Down

Last weekend, Samantha and I loaded up the car and headed west on I-40 to Jackson. No particular reason, we just hadn't been home since Christmas and wanted to see everyone. We had a wonderful time. And the best part it we did a whole bunch of nothing!! After a Friday night outing to Los Portales, my favorite mexican restaurant, we spent Saturday at Mom and Dad's. The whole gang was nice enough to come see us: Gran, Grandaddy, Memaw, Russ, Amy, Garner and Anna Grace. Here are some photos from our trip.

Garner has changed the most of all the grandkids, though I was excited to see he still has his great executive hair. He hung out in the bumbo and watched the girls.

Garner and Big Guy watching a little SEC basketball ... can't get them started too early in our family!
