Houston, Texas | June 27–30, 2025
Theme: Honoring Our Past, Shaping Our Future
What a weekend! Houston showed us a good time! From the welcome mixer to the Sunday service, every moment was filled with joy, love, laughter, and legacy. Whether you were reconnecting with cousins you grew up with or meeting new branches of the family tree, this reunion reminded us just how deep our roots run.
We kicked things off with laughter, hugs, and a few fun challenges—shoutout to everyone who played “Find Someone Who”! It was the perfect way to break the ice and spark conversations across generations. After the mixer, we showed up and showed out in our cowboy and cowgirl fits—boots, hats, and all! It was a beautiful evening of love, legacy, and laughter. The food was amazing, the energy was high, and the family looked Western-fine and reunion-ready!
Our silent auction did not disappoint—incredible prizes and generous bids made it a major success! Thanks to your generosity, we were able to make a donation to the church we worshiped with on Sunday as a token of appreciation for welcoming our family. Your support not only helps us plan future reunions but also gives back to the communities that bless us!
We took over Typhoon Texas Waterpark for a full day of family, food, and fun! Our picnic was one to remember—with cousins gathered under shaded pavilions, plates piled high with good eats, and laughter echoing throughout the park.
Some of us floated down the lazy river, others took on the thrill rides, and plenty just kicked up their heels and enjoyed each other’s company. Whether you were riding waves or cracking jokes, the day was full of sunshine, smiles, and unforgettable moments.
We ended the weekend with a spirit-filled Sunday service. It was a heartfelt reminder of our shared faith, deep roots, and the blessings that keep us connected.
