Fun with Cousins in Town

We packed in a lot of fun while Dianne and the kids were here.  Sidewalk chalking, swinging, swimming in our pool, playing games, and deepening relationships.  We love our cousins!!

Braddock and Hylie teamed up to draw a massive Link.

Keaton got plenty of attention.

Kennywood 2024

The same time Tanner and Landon were at Band Camp, Dianne and her kiddos came to visit.  We had lots of fun with them while the big boys were busy with band.  Janna's and her housemates were going to Kennywood so we made it a whole family affair.  It was definitely hot and sweaty but we had so much fun riding rides with the cousins.  And Keaton was able to do a lot of rides too and had a blast.  We savored the cold treats to beat the heat and Janna soaked up the fun with the help of awesome aides that were lifesavers when it came to getting her on and off of rides.  Lots of great memories made and only a little bit of motion sickness. ;)

These two are the best ride buddies!

Kiddy-land is actually really awesome!  Too bad we didn't visit it till the end of the day.

Braddock gave this two-thumbs-up!

How many cousins can we fit on a bench??

Dianne was a champ to ride this with Janna.....upside down and all!

Daria is a god-send!  Janna's shoe ended up flying off mid-ride and the guy behind her caught it!  Lucky it didn't hurt him.

The whole Nelson/Woodhouse crew!

 

July the Little Things

Keaton rocking Braddock's wig

Can't ever get enough of sweet sleeping babies.  He's a drooler in his sleep!

Braddock put his wig on Dean while he was on a phone call and it tickled our funny bones.

Love capturing big brothers with little brothers.

Tried out our pickleball set at the Church.  Dean is a rockstar dad playing with Keaton in his arms.

Love when big brothers read to little brothers.....note Dean in the background out cold on the couch per usual.  Hahahaha!

Landon and Maya both gave talks in Sacrament Meeting and it had to be documented.

Keaton loves Chloe a little more than she loves him.  Hahahaha!

Keaton was showing Chloe who's boss while Dean cut her nails.

Braddock rigged Bridger's bed to be the perfect movie watching spot.  Complete with popcorn.

Love when big brothers love on little brothers.

Lots of creative time around here.  Braddock always has a project going on.

Keaton is a big fan of corn on the cob.

Everyone wanted in on the pottery wheel but didn't want to get dirty.  End result....it looks like a bunch of naked kids in garbage bags.  Hahahahaha!

Keaton and Bridger still twinning every chance they get.  We love Baby Yoda!

We had twin deers back behind our house.  They were SO cute!

Em's 40th Birthday Bash

In honor of Emily Madsen's 40th Birthday we went to dinner and a Pirates game with our hubbies.  We were literally on the top row.....as nosebleed as it gets, but it was kind of nice not to have anyone behind us and we had a ton of fun.  They finished off the game with a fireworks show and that was probably my favorite part. Grateful for awesome friends who make life fun.  Happy Birthday Em!  You're OLD! ;)
