Cousin Fun!

To say that we had fun having visitors would be an understatement. It was so awesome and the kids loved it so much to have their cousins around! I love that my kids have cousins that are their best friends! I hope that always stays that way!

While they were visiting Matthew had a birthday so Janae had a little army birthday party for him and did an obstacle course. I love how creative Janae is. She always is so good at coming up with things.

The kids always love having a sleepover with their cousins. It is so cute to go in there and see them all asleep on the floor together.

We took them to the fountains and they played in the splash pad and then sat by the big fountain. Russ and Anne wanted to get in it so Kevin had to make sure they didn't.

We took one of our usual trips to Fairy Tale Town. It was fun to see the kids have so much fun together. Ruby loved being with all the big girls and it was cute to see them enjoy having her around so much. Jarom and Kristen decided to stay a couple more days and we were so glad. It was so fun to have them around. It makes me sad to think we get to see each other so infrequently, but that's life. At least we have such a good time when we do get together.

I swear the kids could run the crooked mile for hours. They love it so much.

Jarom was so patient with Anne and walked with her the whole way. So cute.

Grandma bought all the kids a snow cone, which was so nice of her. But Jane and Nellie decided to get sour apple and they were actually sour, they weren't sweet at all. They trided to dump off some and put a new flavor on which wasn't too bad, but they were still pretty sour.

Anne had fun just walking around thinking she was a big shot. She has gottten so mcuh personality lately. She has become very strong willed. Which is weird because she came out so mellow!!

Russy is really good at spilling on himself.

 

Russ and Jerry had a good time togehter. They had some issues with fighting, mostly Russ not being a good sharer of his things, (we are working on it) but they still had fun together.

While the cousins were here Russ got a new wooden firetruck that you sit in becuase Kevin saw an amazing deal on it, and he has a really hard time passing things up when it comes to Russy. Russ had a really hard time sharing it. Little stinker! It is really hard to teach him sharing when he is the only boy so he really doesn't have anyone to share stuff with.

Russ and Jerry are already gettting taught to be Dodger fans! I love it!

We were sad when all the cousins left and it was back to just us. We sure had a great time having visitors this summer!
