Family Fun Time

I am behind...but what is new. We had a visit from Spencer's brother and his family for a few days the 1st week of August. The kids LOVED having their cousins to play with! We swam and jumped on the trampoline, shot guns (well some of us) and made yummy treats and just in general enjoyed each other's company. Here is the proof (Merilee).
My nephew, Grant. He is HE-LAR-EE-OUS, well he is to me, he is very mischievous!
My little scuba diver!

Sweet niece, Eryn she is 6 and will be a big 1st grader this year!

Rachel, she is so cuddly and loving. Her and Cait got along great, they were both born in 2005. The year of girls for the Olsen's. Cousin Mailee was also born that year!
We made, and I do mean WE. I had so many helpers in the kitchen! Yummy frozen chocolate, Oreo pudding pops! You can see how much Caitlyn and Grant enjoyed them! The kids kept making chocolate mustaches and beards, it was unbelievable how many napkins we went through. It was so much fun! I did not get any pictures of our nephew Ryan. He is a little flirt already at 6 months old. His smile would brighten anyone's day. I wish I had captured it. We had a good time just hanging out. I loved having Sharel to talk to and I know that Spencer was so glad to see his brother. (And his guns). My favorite part of the whole visit was when all the kids were sitting at the table and they all broke out singing "Families Can Be Together Forever". It was so spontaneous. It was amazing and a real testimony builder of our Saviour's love for us and for the importance of families.
