Cousins

It's such a treat to have cousins close in age. It's amazing to have them with someone you grew up with. It's phenomenal to be in another state and share this moment with both your moms and sister! I feel so blessed that the world is so small and love is so big to bring people together... when it's so easy to be apart. 

There is something I love about each other these... so I'm posting them all!

Jackson (left) and Kael (right)

Kael: Did you hear...

Jackson: Don't cross me! 

I have a hand and I know (am learning) how to use it.

Kael: You're taking up a lot of room there.

Week 2

Sleeping Jackson

Proud Daddy!

Kids' Museum

The water table: You can direct the current 

with the walls and send boats, etc. down. 

Bicycle & Traffic Safety Area:

Rilie desperately wants to ride a bike.  

Alex is getting good at traffic hand signals 

Pneumatic Backhoe:

Paper Rockets:

Lincoln Log (kinda) Cabin:

Toddler Tree Fort:

This is the rabbit hole.

There is a hole in the tree trunk up there, with a ladder that goes down. 

It's dark down there and he gets nervous. 

Grammie & Jackson:

Yummy fingers...

Other fun things:

I can make ANYTHING a gun!

Making dinner with a friend. 

I wanted to get Jackson in there, but Rilie only stays in a picture for so long. 

We'll get Jackson in there next time. 

NEW Water Pad!

Pure elation!

Above them are buckets that fill with water and dump on their heads.

They loved it! 

This is a big feat for Rilie. 

These steps swivel and he had to balance a lot to climb them.

Water guns.

Alvin and Alex shooting each other with the water guns. 

CubScouts:

My little cubscout!!! 

I am beyond excited!!!

I am grateful my mom sowed on his badges...

because she loves me and I hate sowing.

They love each other so much!

I love this picture!
