Brandon's Happy Birthday!

Hello, fellow bloggers. Yesterday was Brandon's birthday. He is 31!!! His Dad, Brother, and Donna were in town on their way thru to Arkansas for a baseball tournament, and so we got to go and celebrate with them!! MawMaw, (I call her GG MawMaw, b/c she is Gates's Great-Grandmother MawMaw) :) had a great spread out and we all enjoyed eating and talking...


Dee Dee and her little Gatesy Girl. Dee Dee is such a great grandmother, so good with the little ones. We are going down in August and Gates is going to stay with her grandparents, and Brandon and I are going to go to Padre! How fun for everyone.... When we went out to eat a couple of weeks ago, this lady stopped B and me as we were leaving the place and said, "I have to ask, who are that baby's parents?" She could not figure out if I was the mom or if Donna was the mom!!!
The Fam. Uncle Ziggy, Mallie, Brandon, Alan (b's dad, as if you could not tell by looking), Gates, Uncle Tucker, Dee Dee (b's step mom"), GGMawMaw. We were missing Uncle Peyton, he stayed to slave away at the job at home... :)

Look at her lifting that neck.....

This is Brandon's double cousin, Rodney. What is a double cousin? you might ask... Rodney's mom and Brandon's dad are brother/sister. Rodney's dad and Brandon's mom are also brother/sister. So it was really nice when we got married b/c Carianne, Rodney's wife, gave me her wedding list and it had the entire family on it... Both sides!!! Anyways, Here are the dads and their little babies.... Rodney and Clayton, age2, and Brandon and Gates.
