The Parnell Family Reunion

After the Hiett Family Reunion, we went to Little Rock the next weekend for the Parnell Family Reunion! Nathan and Charlotte once again loved being with everyone. They especially love being able to be with Pearce! We all stayed at Cliff and Edie's house which was nice. It was a big turnout! Lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins! And two new baby cousins were with us this year. Nathan and Charlotte loved the babies! They followed them around, played with them, and were very proud of themselves when they made the babies laugh. It was so cute to see them having so much fun with the babies. 

We had a big fried catfish dinner Friday night. On Saturday, Carrie and I took the kids to lunch and to an interactive kids science museum. We went to Delicious Temptations for lunch, a restaurant that we grew up going to when we were little. I have always loved it! Their yogurt ranch dressing on pita sandwiches is the best!!! Of course the kids had a great time at the museum. Then we had ice cream for dessert. Saturday night we had a bbq dinner, and sang karaoke. The kids stole the show!We are so lucky to be part of such a sweet and loving family!






































Hiett Family Reunion

After the beach we had 2 family reunions planned! The first was mom's side of the family here in Dallas which was nice. The 2nd was the Parnell reunion in Little Rock Arkansas. The Hiett reunion was great because we saw so many cousins and family members that we hadn't seen in forever! And we celebrated Grandma's 95th birthday also. Everyone was so happy to see Grandma and she was in good spirits and was happy to see everyonetoo. We went out to eat Friday night, Top Golf was Saturday, and then a BBQ and pool party Saturday night. Nathan and Charlotte liked meeting everyone, but Nathan especially had a great time! Wayne had told him to introduce himself to everyone and speak up and not be shy. Well, he followed Daddy's advice perfectly! I got so many compliments about how friendly and outgoing he was! I was so proud of him! 
I thought it was so great and impressive that he really did enjoy meeting everyone and had fun being there.
