Cousins Visit November 2009

Thanksgiving 2009... Cousins visit from Texas!!!  Aunt Susan, Uncle Mark, Hunter, Jaxon and the soon-to-be Taylor Grace made the drive to visit for a few days.  There are a lot of pictures to share, but it was a lot of fun to have them around...


First we checked out what was in store in the basement...


The trampoline....     Hunter...



Hunter and Regan giggling away while they jump.





Hunter and Taytum battling away at air hockey.





Jaxon rides the zebra...what a smile!

We gave the boys some early Christmas gifts.  Here Mark and I are making sure it's put together properly...this track was a lot of fun!

Jaxon clearly approves!

 Regan and Hunter seem to approve as well!

Taytum and Hunter fit in a little baseball outside...

 Along with a game of chase or two...

Meanwhile, Jaxon and Regan had something cookin' up in the kitchen...

Jaxon did, however, spend time with ALL of his cousins...

Reading with Tay...

 Checking out Kirb...

And playing the part of the 'older' cousin.  They sure are cute.  Jaxon was anxiously awaiting the arrival of his little sister, Taylor Grace, at this time.  You could tell he was working on his 'big brother' skills! 

Everyone did a little coloring...

 ...had a little snack...

 ...made some goofy faces...

 But the best time, by far, was had with the parachute!  No structure, no rules, just a whole lotta fun...

  Pulling...

 ...wrestling...

 ...running...

 ...twisting...

Just. Flat. Out. Fun!

But, ahhhhhh, we DID try to pause for a few cousinly pics... 

 Everyone knows you can NEVER get more than one kid to look at the camera at the same time, let alone smiling!!!  HA!  Especially after so much goofing around!!!

This one is my personal favorite...

 No worries...there WERE some adults around....

 Even if it was just Uncle Mark!  HA HA HA HA...

 Seriously, here's where the responsible people are...making sure we all have food to eat!

Hunter wants to know, "Can we come back again? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ?"
