Welcome Baby Kaleb!

We drove down to Corpus on Friday to spend the weekend meeting and welcoming Baby Kaleb to the family.  This was the first chance that we got to get away and meet our new, baby nephew/cousin!

Kelly, Gabe & Kaleb

Uncle Gabe & Kaleb

Playing with his new cousin

Ahhhh, sweet cousin love!

Sophie also liked to play momma...she buckled Minnie Mouse up for a ride.

We definitely had a busy weekend full of activities!  Friday night we had some good 'ol Kikos (Gabe's favorite).  The enchiladas there are scrumptious!!!!
On Saturday, we went to the mall to spend some money!  Lol!  Papo and Grandma Bebe treated all of the grandkids to new shoes!!  Sophie and Zach got some new tennis shoes for the new school year.  And since Stride Rite was having a sale, we also got Sophie some brown shoes for the Fall to wear with her jeans.  Cute, cute, cute.  Thank you again Papo and Grandma Bebe!
After leaving the mall, we stopped by and said 'hi' to Grandma Sally.  She was working in her antique store and it's always fun to see what's new!
Later on, we went to a birthday party.  It was the granddaughter of Abel & Esmi's friend.  The birthday girl was only turning 1, but the party was "off the hook!"  It was so neat!  The theme was like a carnival.  So they had carnival games, carnival food and even a dunking booth!  It was too too cute and so creative!
From there, we left and met Gabe's mom, sister, aunt/uncle for dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  It must have been THE night to eat there... we waited over a hour for a table and at that we didn't even get to sit all together at one table!  We had two tables directly across from each other.  But I guess it all worked out okay.  It made splitting the bill easier.  Ha!
After dinner, we went back to Papo's and went to bed.  We were all wore out!
On Sunday, we got up, had breakfast and got ready for Kaleb's 'welcome party' that Celia and John were hosting for Kelly and Kevin.


 

After the party, we had to leave and get back on the road to head home.  It was a great weekend.  Busy, but good.  We got to meet Kaleb, saw a lot of family, ate some good food, and made new friends.

Oh, and early Sunday morning, Allyson (Gabe's cousin) had her second baby girl, Avery!!  So that now makes 8 great grandchildren in the Gonzalez Family!!  :)
