Aunt Janna and Aunt Shellie came for a quick visit before school starts up again, and to see baby Nathan. Nathan was definitely a big hit with all his cousins. We have also decided to keep a couple do to how helpful they are. ;0)
Taylor snuggled Nathan and got him to sleep for me.
The kids enjoyed playing computer games one morning.
Aunt Janna making Creature Power Suites.
They turned out awesome!
Nathan was a great supervisor while we were sewing.
The kids also enjoyed a quiet movie or two.
Taylor and Andrew helped weed the garden and mow the grass one morning. It was their first time mowing grass. They did a great job! Thanks boys!!
Nathan after Abby had tucked him in. I thought it was pretty funny to see him holding a gun.
Thanks Abby, for getting him started so young.
Abby helped keep Nathan happy while I fixed Eliza's hair.
Aunt Shellie was very good at getting Nathan to sleep.
It was warm a couple of the days our Smith and Seely cousins were here, so we decided to get the slip n' slide out and let them get some energy out while cooling off a little.

Eliza and Abby had twinner swim suites!
Caden
Eliza is still getting the hang of the whole run and slide thing.
Kaylee was good to keep an eye on Andrew as he sprayed the slip n' slide.
You have to keep an eye on that boy. ;0)
Kaylee and Angela
This is why you have to keep an eye on Andrew. He'll get you when you back is turned!
I had to keep a close eye on Eliza too! She kept sneaking up on me getting me wet.
Eliza and Kaylee
Once they were done with the slip n' slide the kids moved on to the bikes and trucks.
It is times like these that we really love our cul-de-sac!
Thanks to Aunt Janna we all got hair cuts!
Kaylee before...
...and after. She is such a cutie!
Angela's hair is getting really long!
Unfortunately our Smith cousins had to go home Saturday morning. It was so sad to see them go. We really enjoyed all their help and playing for hours on end! Thanks for coming. (As a side note, Nathan is 7 weeks old in these pictures.)
Caden and Nathan
All the kids thought they needed a picture with Nathan, so here we go!
Nathan, Andrew, Caden and bear
Nathan, "Are we done yet?"
Andrew, Nathan and Abby
Nathan, "Too much Abby! Too much!"
"I got my eye on you Abby."
Angela
"It's too early to smile!"
Angela and Bradley
Andrew, Nathan, Abby, Eliza and Caden
Abby, Nathan and Eliza
I told Eliza she could hold Nathan if she would just smile! It finally worked.
(Notice in previous pictures she isn't too happy everyone else was holding "My Nathan".)
Our Seely cousins stayed until Sunday afternoon. Kaylee "Bug" looked so cute in her red and white dress.
I just love this pose.
Angela also had a red and white dress on for church, but she got changed before I broke out the camera.
We always love it when our cousins come to visit. Thanks for coming and hope to see you again soon!
