Grandma Mary's 70th Birthday in Port Lavaca

I spent my Labor Day weekend in Port Lavaca partying with my 70 year old grandma. Port Lavaca is a small beach town located near the coast and it's about an hour and a half drive from Corpus Christi. I spent my childhood in PL and most of my mom's side of the family still lives there. So, going back to PL is like going home.

Trey and I enjoyed our trip so much, we are going to make sure to make the trip at least once a year. We won't let 3 years go by, again. Just an FYI - From DFW to PL it's like a 6 - 7 hour drive. LONG, but worth it.

 Here are some snap shot memories of the day.

This woman is the rock our family. She is the sweetest woman I know.
Mom and Bella. Look how big Bella is! 
I'm amazed Tasha even talks to Trey, considering a few years ago, he put a dog shock collar on her. He's the older brother she never had.

Grandma wanted a picture wit the great-grandkids and as you can imagine it was chaos. So, in case you were wondering, my child did not have an over-night growth spurt. Aunt Pam was trying to hide behind the kids and hold Chey up. Aunt Pam, We can still see you. ;)

Grandma had more people at her birthday party than most people have at their wedding. If you'd like to see all the pictures from the party here is the link.
