The Old House

Yesterday the boys and I went out to Bobby's Great Grandmother's house to help his mother get an old armoire out. It's really starting to show it's age but it's still soo beautiful!


Five children were born and raised here and countless memories were made.

I confess, I became slightly obsessed with the decorative trim that surrounds the front porch of the house. :)


In the front yard stands this lone windmill. My husband still tells us stories about the water he would drink from the well and still says that "windmill punch" is the best.


How beautiful is the front door?! I just nearly swoon every time I see it!


There is tons of stuff still left in the house. Each and everything is so wonderful and old.

Can you read what's on the plate above? It says "Food should be cooked with lots of love and lots of butter." LOVE it! :)


The boys just went crazy trying to get a look at everything!


I loved all the old dressers and mirrors. It boggles my mind thinking about all the ladies in the family standing in front of those mirrors getting ready over the years.


Grady and his cousin Carter were poking into everything! Who could blame them though? Everything was so interesting!


Only in Texas would you find a cactus growing right up next to a Crepe Myrtle tree.


We stopped multiple times to eat some snacks (and get out of the stickers!).


It was a wonderful day of family adventure!
