In Abundance

How fitting that I post these pictures the

day after Father's Day...

Here is Grandpa Robinett!

Seriously, he's the greatest man I've ever met!

In early May, Hudsy Puds made his first

road trip to see his Great Grandparents!

Hudson was perfect on the drive and

LOVED getting to see them again!

PaPa Robinett LOVES his grandbabies...

he holds them, plays with them, walks them...

but most of all, loves them!!!

We ALWAYS love seeing Aunt Neeeeny, too!

How about some of the girly cousins...
Ellie, Jolie, Hadlee, MyleeGotta love these boy cousins, too!

Cason, Walker, Chase

It's so fun at the Robinetts...

everyone comes over to visit and we just sit

around and, well, visit!

We were missing some of the cousins though.Hudson had lots of visitors...many who were

meeting him for the first time!He was quite smitten with

the pretty Horner girls!How cute is this darling little cousin?!?This one, too!!! Such a sweetheart!Chillin' with Great Grandma Robinett...She is one cool granny...in fact, she

has a Facebook account!!! Troy's niece set

her one up while we were there!Then it was over to Great Grandma Pierce's!

She was celebrating her 81st birthday...

what a lady!Talk about somebody loving their grandkids...

Granny most certainly does!

Here she is with precious cousin Luke...Our beautiful niece Chrystal...First night in the pack-in-play...

Hudson loved it!I am so thankful for weekends like this.

How wonderful is it that my children

KNOW their GREAT Grandparents so well?

Grandma Pierce loves Troy like crazy.

They are so close and I love that about them.

She treats & loves me like her own, too!

So sweet....We were also lovin' us some

Mamaw that weekend, too!

As I've mentioned before, I never knew

my mother's parents. My dad's mom had

a debilitating stroke when I was two.

My grandpa spent his days caring for her until

her death and then he passed away

when I was in college. I loved them dearly,

but due to their health, they were never

able to be typical grandparents to me like

they were to my older sisters & two cousins.

I missed out on A LOT.

When I picture what grandparents should

be like...I picture Grandma & Pa Pa Robinett.

They have four children and too many grandkids

and great grandkids for me to count! 29 maybe?

Somehow though they love each of us and

treat us all equally. They are truly

Godly people and I love them so, so much.What a blessing for my little Hudson

to experience their love like

Hadlee and Walker have!
