Cousins

The VERY best part about being here this summer, was spending time with cousins. My kids ate and drank them for the past 2 months! We're surrounded by kids where we live in Oregon..... but nothing compares to this bunch....

Reagan is closest to Taven (3 months apart). They are ultra-adorable together! This boy is too cute, always happy, and hilarious! I really want to stash him away in the back of my car and take him home with us.

 Autumn was every one's little sidekick. At home, Jefferson wakes up early to watch morning cartoons. While living here, he would wake up early to play with Autumn. It was hilarious to see how well the kids took care of her. I think her mom, Becky, is really going to miss the live-in babysitters!

 Brock is Grant's closest cousin. They could play for hours together, and they did... daily! They have the same sense of humor and temperaments. This is the best picture I captured of the two of them. They sat here talking about superheroes and the types of bodies they would have if they were superheroes.

 Ben is Jefferson's best friend. They grew up together (as if they're all grown, ha) and went to preschool together. They play great. Playing ninja, swinging on grandpa's swing, and watching cartoons are their favorite things to do.

 

 Here is Reagan and Kaitlyn on a ride-on firetruck.

 I would say the Lindsay is Reagan's favorite person. Anything is fun is Lindsay is there, and nothing is fun if she's not!

I'll have to get a picture of Hailey, Wesley, Leia, Whitney, and Kinley next time!

I don't think my kids quite get the fact that they aren't playing with their cousins tomorrow. I get it... and I'm feeling really sappy about it. Sorry for the overly-sentimental post, but I'm finding it hard to take my kids away from here.
