The bigger the hairbow the better the mama...

We spent last weekend in Texas with Jon's family - his dad, Lewie; stepmom Linda; her son Scott and Melissa and their twins Cooper and Addison born the same week as Spencer. We had so much fun watching the cousins hang out. We hadn't seen Scott and Melissa in such a long time but it's like no time passes when we get together. Melissa sent me home with a bag of hair bows that Addy outgrew for Shoshi (you'll see below she sports her first hairbow ever!) and taught me the expression in Texas "the bigger the hairbow the better the mama". We also spent time with Jon's cousin Laura and her husband Damon who we are hoping will one day make the move to Denver.

The whole clan before dinner

Scott and Melissa took us out to a real Texas dinner (read: lots of fried food!). Here's Shoshi eating (and loving) her first fried okra.

No trip is complete without a long run! Jon woke up early with me and rode along as I ran 12 miles. This is us post-run and pre-Starbucks!
