Houston

road trip... 5 hour drive - or in our case 7 hours due to a horrific wreck on 45... believe me, I really thought we were in for it after the first 2 hours... Bryn does VERY well in the car... when it's moving :)

finally past the wreck and away we go!

we all stopped to eat a ways down the road - while hubby was inside getting us some grub (Subway located in a gas station - fine dining!) I'm holding Bryn and really... 2 women come up to me in the parking

lot to tell me how beautiful my baby is... the kicker - one of them

wanted to hold her??!!???  really woman - NOT!!!  get us outta here!

finally arrived at our destination - aunt lori's house!! 

saturday was a full day for miss bryn - she had brunch at her first tea room - the whistle stop in downtown tomball...

Yes - that's grandma feeding her so momma could have a hot meal!!  first time feeding her in a restaurant and she did very well - bathrooms not very condusive for diaper changing but like the pro I am - sat down on the toilet with her over my lap and the diaper changing began!  :)  after brunch it was nap time - WAY too hot to keep her out!

later that evening off to grandma and grandpa's house for some BBQ and to introduce bryn to the rest of the Wilson family!

I'm not gonna lie - I was a bit worried due to she's never been around that many people before and I was worried she may freak out - she did GREAT!  she got to meet her cousin Caleb... 

as I was taking the picture I said 'Caleb, get in there'... meaning to get in the picture - not realizing the mind of a 3 year old he looked at his momma and said 'momma, I'm too big to get in there with binley'

we didn't get much time with grandpa due to he spent his time working on the car with dray... the car - what a project that has become but that's for another day!  so we spent out time with grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins...

great time had by all... bryn was a bit overstimulated that evening and was cranky when we finally got back to aunt lori's house - but she was so tired she ate and went right to sleep!!  I did feel bad for exposing her to everything but I'm glad I did cause she got to meet her family!!

sunday brought a special occasion... bryn got to meet her great grandmother!  grandma helen is dray's grandmother on his fathers side - she's the only living grandparent between the both of us so it was pretty exciting to snap a photo -

I tried to get one with both of them smiling but if you know g'ma wilson that's impossible and bryn was just waking up from her car ride so... 

I think the first few words out of her mouth were... 'she looks like dray'... 'when are you going to have another one?  having one is no good - she needs a sibling'... this coming from a woman who had five sons!

all in all it was a great trip and we're glad we went - I was so proud of myself with packing up the truck and not forgetting anything - I'm getting good at this mother thing :)

now rest time to get prepared for Labor Day weekend - we got aunt mandy and  nana and grandpa coming... we like to think they're coming to see us when it's really due to LSU playing at jerry's world!!!  but we'll take seeing aunt mandy anytime we can!!!!!
