Grandma Wendy, Aunt Crystal, Blake & Ashlynn

This past week we were able to spend some time with my mom, my sister (Crystal) and my niece and nephew (Ashlynn and Blake) as they were out to visit and see Payton. I know the kids loved having their cousins around to play with especially since they are fairly close in age. It was kind of funny to see the 4 of them share the bunk beds. Brooklyn and Maddux were on the top, Blake and Ashlynn were on the bottom, and Sweet Roll was sleeping on the floor in the port-a-crib. Five kids in one room, it is amazing that any one got any sleep. We were able to go to the park, Jennie took the kids swimming at the rec, and they got to spend lots of time outside playing. I think they had a lot of fun and enjoyed their visit. I just felt bad that I had to work the whole time they were here and didn't get to spend a lot of time with them. We usually only get to see them once a year so we really enjoy that time we do get.

We did get some good family pictures of all the kids and then some with Grandma and most of the grandkids. We were just missing Kristian and Michael who are Dawn's boys. One of these days we will get that picture. Hopefully before they are all grown up. As usual Grandma Wendy spoiled the kids while they were here and brought them lots of little gifts from their trip to Georgia, which is where they were before coming to our place. We do love to spend time with family so if anyone else wants to come visit us feel free.

This last picture is one of Nolan holding his baby sister. It is one of the few pictures where Payton's eyes are open. Nolan loves to hold his little sister and has even picked her up a couple of times out of her bassinet. We now have to lock our bedroom door when she is sleeping otherwise he will try to get her out.

Anyways, we hope that everyone is doing fine and we love to hear from you all.
