OUR FREEDOM

Max, Jake, Grace, Auri, Warren, and Avery....only missing 6 1/2 others.

Spence had fireworks left over from last year that we lit off before retiring to the back deck.

Jake was so sweet to cousin Auri, he held her for a long time.

Had to snap my favorite picture of the night.... I looked over to notice what the boys were doing during the spectacular firework show! Yes, playing Mario cart together. I quickly snapped a picture, then made them turn them off! Hilarious, or not.

The Cousins are Coming

All the Cousins made it up to my parents for the Fourth of July. I really hope this becomes an annual trip for all. It was so fun to get all 11 of them 8yrs and younger together. The older they get the better the visits become.....or at least the longer they can go without someone crying or getting hit!

The Crew Consists of:

Savanna 8, Jake 7, Warren 6, Avery 5, Chase 4, Max 3, John 3, Reese 3, Grace 2, Auriel 1, and Atlas 9mos

When we were young I think we had shirts saying the Wrecking Crew..... We really should get some made up for this bunch!

Here are some Highlights :

Leland John and I in front of my Parents. Seriously one of the funniest kids I have ever met.

Aunt Kiran and Auriel Kiran Holly Hansen

Popsicle mania. I wonder if my parent's freezer has a Popsicle maker....they seriously ALWAYS have them!

Max, John and Grace

Avery and her 'mini-me' Chase at the Burger King play structure.

Still more Cousin posts to follow...
