I ventured out on my first road trip with just the little guys this past weekend. Overall, it went really well…there were a few moments of screaming kiddos in the car, trying to hold Keegan while helping Cohen go potty in a filthy road side bathroom and the like. Ahhh, memories…
Our first stop was Lubbock where we met up with Grammee and Aunt Melissa.
Cohen riding a ride in the South Plains Mall…
While we were in Lubbock, we watched Aunt Melissa have her bridal portraits done. I SO wish I could give you a sneak peak because they are absolutely incredible!!! If you need a fantastic photographer in Lubbock, you should totally check out Amy Rose King Photography…she’s fabulous! It also helped that she had an incredibly beautiful subject to photograph!
After we left Lubbock we stopped in Lamesa to have dinner with my grandparents. And what do little boys get to eat for dinner when with their great grandparents?? ICE CREAM!
After dinner we headed to Big Spring where we would attend the first of Melissa’s bridal showers. B-Pa was easily suckered into building towers of blocks over and over again so Cohen could bowl them down with his ball.

The bride with her future mother-in-law and our mom…
She’s really not that much taller than me…I was in flats and she was in heels…
The ladies in Big Spring put on a lovely shower for Melissa and it was so nice to see old friends.
The next stop on our journey was Portales for the second of Melissa’s bridal showers. Cohen had been asking for weeks before we left if he could go swimming with GranZ and that is the very first thing he did…
Keegan even got in on the action and loved it!

Notice that we’re coordinating our outfits again? Totally coincidental…
After the Portales shower we headed back to Big Spring to break up our drive back home.
On our way back home from Big Spring is where our trip unfortunately hit a bump in the road or should I say another car on the road. Just outside of Eastland, about and hour and a half from our house, a truck next to me began to hydroplane and he lost control. He slid into me sending us both into the median on I-20. All I could see was us heading in the direction of the oncoming traffic so I began to turn away from it which spun my car around and we hit the same truck this time on the opposite side of my car. AHHHH…SO SO SCARY!!! Fortunately, many people had lifted prayers of safety for me and they boys before we left and I know God was watching over us. It could’ve been so much worse and we all walked away without any injury what so ever. Praise the Lord!!! The damage to the car isn’t really even that bad considering…
The one thing the pictures just didn’t capture was how much grass was covering my car and stuck in each and every crevice…crazy.
All in all, we had a wonderful trip and it was so much fun seeing all of our family and friends. Just 3 weeks until the big wedding! Can’t wait!

What a scary story! I’m so thankful God kept you all safe. This is one of my worst fears. I’m glad your trip went well, otherwise. The boys are so sweet- I can’t wait to see you all:)

I am so glad the accident wasn’t worse! I am sure that was so scary! Glad the rest of the trip was a good one!
