Cousin Visit

Finally after 5 months we got all the cousins together! I was able to go up to Northern California for a visit to my parent's house. Two out of the seven days I was there all the cousins were together! It was such a funny challenge getting all the kids to sit and look at the camera. But after jumping around and dancing for entertainment I think it turned out great! This will need another update in four more months when Chris and Lindsay have a baby girl (yes, another girl to add to the mix of boys)!

Camryn's two oldest cousins, Dylan and Jake. We took several of the boys bowling one afternoon and boy did they love it! These two boys just love Camryn. It was so fun to see the way they interacted with her they loved getting her to laugh and smile.

The two baby girls! Only 2 1/2 months apart! It was so great finally meeting Emma and she is just as cute in person as her pictures! She loved watching her cousin and we loved seeing what a sweet mellow baby she is. This picture is of us at Coloma. It is a cute old gold mining town. We had a lot of fun having a picnic, hiking and watching the kids wade through the American River.


We spent many days at the park and Camryn has really started loving the swing. I love this picture with Kyle next to her. It was so much fun getting to hang out with everyone and especially my sisters since we all were without our husbands. I was very sad to leave after a week while everyone else will be staying longer! However, I am very excited for this new tradition to reoccur every summer!

We are missing you already!! We had so much fun playing with you and your super awesome baby. I miss her smiley face and funny noises.

Have fun tomorrow - you're super rude (but lucky!)

Love you!

Okay, the cousins picture is absolutely adorable! What a darling group of children. And what a fun tradition to have a girls week. Every picture is priceless.

Yes, make sure it's a reoccuring tradition to come home in the summer time. We'll just have to plan it better so mom doesn't have to work. We miss Camryn! I loved getting to know her better. I think these 2 girls are just going to love eachother. Did you make a sign? Can't wait to hear all about it.

Glad you had a fun trip. I have still not made a trip home since B has been born! I am too afraid to deal with her on an airplane all alone. You are my example, I just need to suck it up and go!

Camryn is super cute and love her! We miss you especially since you were here a whole week and we only saw you a few times...boooo!

You didn't include the sister's changing their daughter's diapers simulatenously at the park. I thought that was pretty funny and cute!

Look at how cute all my grandchildren are! What a fun time for everyone to be together. Wouldn't it be great if the cousins stayed close as the years go by!
