Rae and Co.

Oh the fun we did have!!  Rae - yes, THE Rae of Hardly Utopia and her crew just spent some time in our neck of the woods.  If you read her post about missing T-boy you will know Papa, T-boy, and West got stranded in TX due to "vehicle malfunction".  The malfunction happened close to where we live so what's a person to do??  We came swooping in to save the day - or provide some entertainment, or something like that.  What we didn't plan on was the largest "snowstorm" in the last 25 years!  Or the lost electricity!  But that's OK - Pizza Hut delivers (or not, but that's a whole other story) - so we had a party!

We ate pizza...

We visited...

We got to know eachother a little better...

And the kids did play!

Sunday we put on our "Sunday go to Meetin'" clothes, and went to meeting.

Pip checks out Lia's Reece's but she's not interested in sharing.  She's not feeling the love - even if it is Valentine's Day.  I don't like to share my Reece's either - she's her mother's daughter.

T-boy and Jacob though, they did feel the love.  And shared secrets.  And ran to the tank (aka pond for those of you who aren't native Texans) to throw sticks in as parents were trying to get 25 dozen kids all strapped into their seat belts.  T-boy and Jacob were more into having fun. 

And look - here's more of us in our Sunday best...

Jacob, Bee, T-boy

Bottom L - Papa, Nana, Kit-Kat, Jax

Bottom R - US!! ;)

We missed getting West in the pics - he was WAY to cool for all the foolishness called picture taking.  That's OK West - we still liked having you around - your coolness and all!!

And then Sunday night - that's when the REAL hurricane hit - it worked out quite nicely though...while it was storming in one room...the adults got to watch the Olympics in the other room across the hall!  T-boy and Jacob decide they are tigers, Bee puts Lia in her "crib" and gives her food, while Rae and Papa root on the Americans.  It *may* have gotten loud.  Just saying. 

And the romance - ohhhh the romance!  These relationships are just budding.  And we're going to cultivate them.  Can you imagine how cute their kids will be!  Both relationships involve "older women".  That's ok - they can train their men up right.

And Pip, my Pip.  This little guy stole my heart!  Sorry David - my heart belongs to another man now.  Pip, I NEED you in my life.  Something tells me your Mom wouldn't let you move down here though.  Mother's tend to get in the way of relationships sometimes don't they.  That's ok - you're betrothed to my daughter so you'll always have an important place in my life.

Y'all come back now - ya' hear!
