February Trip to Devine

We went to Devine last Thursday, February 10 to visit my family. I also had a work event on Friday night in downtown San Antonio. There was a fun group of alumni at the event but I am always relieved after work events are over. My staff made the event come together beautifully and it was a successful night! Hodge stayed with my Aunt Sondra and Uncle Ronnie while we all went to the ASU Alumni event at the Menger Hotel. I wanted my parent to attend because they are members of the ASU Alumni Association and this was a chapter event for alumni in the area. My parent did not attend ASU but all three of their children attended and they have been supporters for over 30 years. Hodge had a good time playing with my aunt, she always entertains him. My cousin Shannon even came over to play with Hodge. Both Sondra and Shannon said that Hodge played well but compared to the girls in their family he played rough. They only have granddaughters on that side of the family so a little boy is a change from the girls playing nice and dainty. Sondra and Shannon said that he asked for his Memaw several times but never got upset. We had a late night in San Antonio so we did nothing on Saturday. We just relaxed all day at my mom and dad's house. Sunday my mom brought Granny up to the house to spend the day with us. She even went out to the ranch with us. We also stopped by the Sand Branch Church and Cemetery. This is where Matt and I got married and my grandfather is buried at this Cemetery along with several other family members. My family has a long history at this church. It was nice to stop by the church and visit my grandfathers grave. We had a long weekend and we really did not do to much. The event was fun Friday night and it was nice not having anything else the rest of the weekend. Hodge always has a great time at my parents house and he enjoys all the attention he gets from everyone. Here are a few photos from the church and the ranch. I did not take to many photos during the weekend. I am sad that I did not get some photos of Hodge and his team of babysitters on Friday night. Thanks Sondra, Shannon and Ronnie for watching Hodge! He had a great time!
