My brother and his family visited
from Virginia Beach.
It was great having all
13 Nixon Cousins together!
Getting a a picture
with 12 kids under 7 and JohnMark
wasn’t easy!
We ate lunch and cookies!
Johnna Katherine & Ella
Isla & Sara
Nixon & Julianna
“New Baby” as Lottie
calls her! 🙂 
Ready to go into Legoland!
Jenn Jenn, Lottie
& Jane Madelynn
had so much fun!
Lego Head!

Jane Maddy
 LOVED the slide!
Every had a chance
 to help her down!
Roxann, Jessica & Joy Beth 
Everyone had
fun building their own 
lego creations!
My favorite part is
the Lego model of Dallas!
Cowboy Stadium
Texas Fair
Great Wolf Lodge
Texas Ranger Stadium
Rodeo
Lottie’s favorite 
part was definitely the
Princess Karaoke!
The boys enjoyed 
racing the cars they built!
Legoland is always fun!
After Legoland we headed over to
Rainforest Cafe!
Lottie didn’t like the animals
too much!
Everyone got a balloon animal!
Or sword!
We had a great time
with all the cousins! We ended
the day with a slumber
party at my house!

4th of July 2014

By Leave a Comment

We didn’t get to go to Florida this 4th because
we were awaiting our newest 
member of the family but we had a great time
here in Dallas! 
We started the day off with red velvet waffles,
blue & red milk, and fruit pizza!
It was delicious!
Jane Maddy LOVED the waffles!
She finished everyone’s plate!
Roman liked the blue milk
the best!
After breakfast our family 
hit the pool! 
We were so happy daddy drove in
to spend the weekend with us!
After the pool we joined the rest of 
the family for a cookout! 
Mindcraft finds it’s way 
into every family gathering. 
Swimming wore these guys out! 
We tried getting a family photo but my
kids weren’t into it. 
Jessica’s kids actually all looked and smiled!
We headed to see fireworks
 but it wasn’t meant to be. 
Our family doesn’t 
have the best track 
record when it comes 
to 4th of July fireworks.
The kids were so worn out they didn’t 
seem to mind. They were all asleep
 before we reached the house!

Last Day of School 2014

By Leave a Comment

The last day of school finally arrived! 
I’m not sure who was more excited,
me or the kids? Actually, I know Lottie
and Roman were the happiest to have their
sisters home!
Nixon and Isla had 
WONDERFUL teachers this year!
We are very thankful 
for them. 
We went the easy way out this
year and got them 
gift cards to Sonic to thank them. 
Mrs. Lukas
Mrs. Sperry
The girls had fun on their
last day!
Nixon actually cried for days.
She was not ready for school to be out.
She really misses her friends. 
We had a BIG surprise waiting for the girls
when they arrived home!
Daddy and the kids hiding and waiting
to surprise the girls!
Here they come!
WATER FIGHT!

Ryan didn’t want to join
in on the fun. She sat in the window
and watched.

Roman loves our
neighbor, Matthew!
Lottie didn’t really love
being sprayed with water. 
She joined Jane Maddy
in the car to watch safely!
After cupcakes and drinks
the kids had to dry out!
It was a fun day! 
I love seeing how much they changed throughout the years!
Love my girls and my family!

The girls favorite
station was the Hamster Ball!

Roman even joined in on the fun!
My favorite was watching the
Batman Races and 
Tug-A-War!
We were so blessed with two 
wonderful teachers
this year!

Isla’s Kindergarten Graduation

By Leave a Comment

I was so sad I had to miss Isla’s
Kindergarten graduation. 
I had my yearly college girls’ 
beach trip planned & the plane ticket
was already purchased. 
I left Jared and Jessica in charge 
of taking LOTS of pictures and video!
Class of 2026 
Jessica made sure she 
had goodies and cupcakes!
So proud of our little
graduate!

It looks like Mrs. Lukas 
helped get her ready!

Isla’s best friend, Mikayla!
We are so proud of Isla.
She won the P.E. Award 
and the Citizenship Award!
She also won a free ticket to 
Six Flags for reading!

Kindergarten Class of 2014

Isla and Mrs. Lukas
She was so happy Gue was there
to celebrate!
Cousins!
