Family Vacation- Summer 2010

Our family took a beach vacation, what a grand time! Our grandchildren range from 14 years old down to 6 months,  we were surrounded by happy giggles and just had so much fun!  It was our first summer beach vacation since 2006.

Youngest grandson, his first time in the sand, I think he liked it!
My Mom holding her Great Grandson!
 I love the way he is looking at my Mom! Since they live out of Texas, was their first meeting.
I do think they have eyes for each other, so sweet.

Well, I could continue adding more photographs, but I'll save you all now!


Bye for now~

  1. What a great pic for your Christmas Card! Looks like everyone had a good time! What's not to like about the beach? I love it. My sister lives in TX and misses it here so much! She comes back for her beach fix a few times a year .
    Lovely family, Nancy!

  4. Hi Nancy,
    Thanks for visiting my blog today. I like seeing your vacation photos too! I don't make it to the beach nearly often enough. I see you live in Austin-I have relatives in Round Rock and like the area very much.

  9. Nancy, I absolutely have tears in my eyes. Your family is so beautiful. A true testament to love, family and togetherness. Even though you all are so far apart in miles, you stay in touch, communicate and enjoy your time together to the fullest.
    Your mom and Garrett really connected. So sweet!
    I'm so proud of Jen and her family. I absolutely cannot say enough about how proud we are of our godchild. We love her dearly and take such delight in seeing her with her wonderful husband and beautiful family.
    You and Mike have created a huge circle of love and it's so fitting that you all be blessed with such sweet loved ones.
    Hugs and love,
    Karen & David

  13. love!!!! the photos..you have a gorgeous family..hard to tell who was the daughter and the younger daughter..seriously..I couldn't tell..they both looked like sisters.;)

  14. It looks like you had a wonderful time. I am struck by what a beautiful family you have-one and all. How wonderful that your hubby has fought his way back to normalcy..that doesn't often happen after a stroke. It takes hard work, determination and a lot of rehabilitation. I'm sure you were a big part of his healing process.

    God bless you and your family and your Mom! How wonderful that she could hold her great grandbaby! hugs- Diana

  15. Dear Nancy ~ What a lovely family you and your DH have created. Your vacation pictures are great and you all look like you had a lot of fun. Love the pictures of your mother and great grandbaby. He is a little doll.

    Glad your DH has recovered and is doing so well.

    Have a great week.

  18. Happy Monday Nancy, Loved, I mean loved, these photos-could have been our family a number of years ago when we were in the Islands together.
    Aren't grands simply the very best? You are certainly blessed that have your mom there as well. Your daughter looks way too young to have a teen.
    Have a great week.
    Hugs, Noreen

  19. Oh how fun!! Makes me wish for a beach trip!! Your family is beautiful!!

  20. Those are such beautiful pictures. I especially love the ones of the grands. Looks like everyone had a great time! It is funny how kids love the sand, but some are terrified at the sound and vastness of the waves and ocean. My granddaughter was a bit timid of the water the last time she was here and yet at a younger age you had to keep her from going to deep. My grandson just keep running towards it too. Actually they haven't been to the beach this summer......we have all been too busy. I don't like going in the actually hot months because of the traffic from my house to the beach. I like going in September after labor day and on through winter and spring.

  26. Nancy, thank you for coming by and following along. I had to come over and visit, and decided to follow along for the following reasons:1. Beach(and with family, yay!) 2. George Strait(laughed cause you "threw" him in) 3.Rooster alert!(Love that dish, it is lovely!) There are more reasons, just best to keep it to three!

  27. Nancy I am delighted that you got to go to the beach for a vacation. These pictures tell it all. You guys had a wonderful time and it shows.
    I love you shared your trip with us. Your family is beautiful...all of them.
    Love the one of the grandkids jumping too.
    My DL has a fit if I put pictures of my grand babies on here so doubt I will get to show them from this weekend. What a mess she does make about it so not worth it.
    Glad I did not miss this post. It was a nice visit today.
    Love
    Maggie

  29. O, Nancy...what a beautiful family you have. And your mom is just beautiful.

    When all our grands were small, we took family vacations to the beach every year, too. So much fun...they are all grown (well, almost) and we haven't been back to the beach in awhile. We all went on a family cruise a couple years ago and it was A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
    WIll remember it the rest of my life..:))

    Thanks for stopping by..please come back soon.
