Cousin Time!

Oh my goodness, it was so fun to have these girls and their cute kiddos visit. I have a huge smile on my face just looking at the pictures. 

The first day I got to see them, we went to the beach. SO hot. But definitely worth all of the fun. 

Sarah, Lindsay, Me (Katelyn below), Stephanie and Camille (with Max)

And we can't forget Aunt Colleen! 

She is the ultimate grandma, playing with the kids more than any of us. She is on the right with Liam. She helped him come near the beach and play. He still gets scared of the beach. He was in the water and playing after about 30 minutes. Yay Aunt Colleen!

Another day, I can't remember when... we went to Camille's pool. There are really only so many things you can do with a ton of kids in Texas in the summer. 

That night we had dinner at our house. It was really fun to have the men there. Ben grew up with this family and thinks so highly of them. Not to mention, we just have so much fun. 

I really wish Lindsay lived closer!! It was so fun to see her!

Her daughter, Kelsey, was hiding when they were trying to leave, and Liam said, "Mom, she is not there! Don't make her leave!" Haha. 

Katelyn and Grandma.

A photo that I obviously didn't tell anyone that I was taking. 

Brynlee and Troy. Just 1 month apart. 

Dean is a little younger and thought it was so funny to walk in the picture. He immediately asked to see it. I loved getting to laugh with these kids! 

We drove up to see our old homes that we had lived in when we were little. This was my mom and dad's first house. They had been living in a smoker's appartment, so this house was a dream to my mom. I can't remember if I was born right before they moved or just after. In all three of their homes, they stayed in the same ward. Wards were a lot bigger back then. (Geographically)

We went to the Galleria. My mom hadn't been here in years.
