Cousins

One of my favorite things about the reunion was seeing all of the kids together. I just LOVE my nieces and nephews and I was so happy for Easton to be able to play with them. They were all so nice to include him and play with him, and he, being one of the youngest, looks up to all the older, cool kids. Here are just a few pictures...I think my sisters and mom got some better ones, but they are being slow to email them to me, so this is all I have!

Justin and Easton helping Grandpa load up the truck.

Our daily baseball game.

It's sad that Easton comes from such a big baseball family and is really having a hard time grasping the whole concept. He got the biggest smile on his face when Nick would help him swing the bat and hit the ball.

Thanks to Andy for bringing his awesome hammock again this year. So comfy. Ben and Bella were so cute with Easton.

I just love this picture of these kids! As I said before I love all of my nieces and nephews, but this trip I just got a real kick out of the three 4 year old boys. Kellen is super witty, and is always so quick to respond when we try to tease him. He's very smart and says awesome things, like when his parents think he's singing too loud, "that's just how I roll."

Gio is living with my sister right now and he fit right in with the other boys. So cute and friendly, and also does his share of funny things. He woke up scared in the middle of the night because he couldn't get his head out of his sleeping bag. Turns out he had turned himself around and his head was where his feet were supposed to be. It would be scary.

And Joseph, who gives such good, big hugs. He also makes me laugh with the things he says. Like, while I was taking him to the bathroom: "I want to show you the silly potty in the men's bathroom." And, since he's just learning to read, he reads everything in sight. "Grandma, is that your Coleman two-burner propane stove?" Our traditional stop at Rice Hill on the way home. Umpqua Ice cream...the best!
