Grandma & Grandpa Barwick Visit Texas

It's been a over month since their visit and we are missing these two so much!
I can't even begin to say how much I LOVED having them here. Layla got to meet Grandma & Grandpa Barwick for the first time. She attached to them right away :)
This kid could not get enough of Grandma!
There were so many places we wanted to show them, definitely not enough time!
We took them to the Riverwalk and Alamo...
Spent over an hour at Buckeys gas station! There were so many sauces for Dad to look at!
We danced at Gruene Hall (long enough to take a few pictures :)

Had lunch at one of our favorite restaurants (Gruene River Grill)
Walked around Gruene and found these really cool chairs
Went to Landa Park
Fed the ducks

and played with the River Rats.
Grandpa got a little tired from all the running around. 
I was not looking forward to this moment. It went by way too fast!
 
I am so very thankful for my parents and their great example. They have taught me so much and raised me to be the person I am today. I am so glad my kids got to spend this time with  them. They loved having them here and were sad to see them go. We are all looking forward to their next trip to Texas!

Amaya's Baptism

Amaya was looking forward to this day for a very long time! 
And so was Mom & Dad!

Her Grandma & Grandpa Barwick were coming and  she was so excited about that. She asked them to give talks on Baptism and the Holy Ghost. They both gave such awesome talks, ones that I know she will always remember

I really regret not taking pictures of the setup, but this was on a table with a sign in book (a diary her Grandma  later gave her). For refreshments we had Truffles, pumpkin spice cookies, and Lemon cakes.




Amaya's friend "sister" Brooklyn gave the sweetest opening prayer
I am so very proud of this girl!!
