Family Visit

Lots of love and sweet-ness from Emma to her grand-parents and they gave it all right back to her. Also, that new little baby cousin of hers had plenty of love to share! Russel wasn't real cuddly - he's too busy for that - but he sure had lots of fun exploring everything. He didn't like the rough-housing in the pool though - he's a lover, not a fighter.


Now, isn't this a beautiful family? Their littlest one is cuddling with grandma and taking a nice little snooze while everyone is enjoying some time in the water. Russel REALLY liked being able to see his belly button. He usually wears a onesie so it was fun seeing him pull up his shirt and giggle when he could see and touch his belly button! What a fun little boy!

These two cute kids sitting by each other are almost exactly one year apart (Russel was born on Halloween and Emma was born the 29th of October the next year). It's so fun to see the kids together! As a mom, I like to see how big the cousins get so quickly and then it makes me think that in not too much more time that's where Emma will be and all the fun things she'll be doing!

We had a great visit with Ken's parents and his youngest brother, his wife and their two sons over Memorial Day weekend. The picture above is one of the many tricks they performed while playing in the pool on Saturday. The other tricks were walking under water with someone standing on their shoulders, throwing people across the pool and, of course, wave pool. Wave pool is where Ken will hold one of the boys in his arms and jumps up and down causing the water to swell and go over the edge. It's pretty fun to watch and the boys seem to really love it when their dad does that with them.

We had such a great time and we love to see family and have fun playing and visiting! Thanks for coming to AZ and next time we'll see you at your houses!
