On June 14th, we were able to fly to McAllen, Texas for Jackson to meet his great-great-grandparents, and for my "cousins" 15th birthday! In the Hispanic culture, turning 15 is a huge deal especially for girls. It is believed that she is turning from a little girl into a women. Some of you may have seen one or two on MTV's show Sweet Sixteen. Well, let me tell you this birthday party was big! Her dress was like a wedding dress and the reception was decorated fancier then our wedding reception. Her parents went all out. We had a great time seeing my mom, sister, and extended family. I am so glad that we were able to get a 5 generation picture with my great grandparents, and that Jackson was able to meet them. We plan to go again next year and spend a little more time with family. Here are a few pictures from the event.

My favorite photo of Jackson being just like his dad and wearing a pencil behind his ear!!
A special thanks to my sister Amber, who provided all the photos. We forgot our camera!
