Last week was the Stevens' Family Reunion in Athens. No, not Greece, it was better than that...TEXAS!!! We had a lot of fun. The boys went down with my mom and nieces on Sunday because Brian and I were going to work and go down on Wednesday. Well, I guess it was a little much for meme to handle, or I really did not want to work that week...one of the two, because I ended up flying down on Sunday evening. (((I got to miss out on the 8 hour drive with four kids....how lucky did I get))).
The boys really enjoyed themselves, as did the rest of us of course. Bryce got in the swimming pool first thing Monday morning and only got out to eat lunch, dinner and then I made him get out around 6:00 that evening to cool off. He is a little fish. By the end of the week my cousin, Chanda, had taught Bryce how to swim for about 4 feet underwater by himself. We were all so proud of him, as was he of himself.
Breken...well he is some what a different story. He loves the water.....as long as mama is in there. Not just in his sight but right there next to him. He is definately in the seperation stage combined with the TERRIBLE TWO'S!!!! He had a good time just hanging out with all the other babies and the grown ups. He was so funny...he picked up very quickly what all the kids were calling their grandmothers and still walks around saying Ja'ja' (Aunt Candy). He also knew Aunt Juajaun is Grandma and Aunt Jaunette is memaw. He was confused at how mom and Aunt Joan were both meme but that gets confusing to everyone when you have 10 kids yelling meme.
The "grown ups", we get to call ourselves that just because we are older and have kids, but I assure you that you would not think that we were any older than a bunch of college kids when my family gets together...anyways, back to what I was saying. We have a Family Golf Tournament and we have a ball. I started playing about 12 years ago and each time I make it fewer and fewer holes before I decide that I am a better CHEERLEADER than I am a golfer. This year was no different...I only made it to the 5th hole before I decided that I got a lot less sun sitting in the cart drinking my "beverage" then walking out on the green. Luckily my team was there to have fun just like me and knew that I was as much help in the cart as I was out of the cart. Brian on the other hand....kicked butt as always. His team won last reunion but he was not able to pull it off this time. He says he got pencil whipped but we will never know. They did really well and were right on our tail the whole time. - - - - Enough about GOLF!!
I have attached some pictures, I hope you all enjoy.
