1st week of cousins day of Summer 2013-June 11

 Last summer we planned a day each week to get all the cousins together.  I started off the week hosting and all 10 kids got to bowl for free with some passes from their school.

 The Girls!
 Out of Taylor's family we only have 3 boys!

 After bowling we headed back to our house for water activities.  They played in the sprinklers, these buckets and with water guns.






Father/son camp out and Girls night out!

Preston was sick earlier in the week and was worried he wasn't going to be able to go camping. He was really excited for the father/son campout.  Taylor came home early and they left about 3:30.  Preston had a blast playing with his friend Westin and riding in a canoe.  Saturday morning they came home and left again to help Taylor's grandparents pack up there house.  Preston fell asleep at 4:00 p.m. and didn't wake up until 6:00 the next morning!  He must have worn himself out.







Paige's Ballet/Tap recital


After her recital a mom of another girl came up to me and said her son asked, "who is that girl in the front, on the end?"  She is too cute!  She was so excited during her performance because her cousin, Kendra, her Grandma Meme and Chase were there.  She kept waving to them.  



 They all received a round of applause and a carnation!

Preston's actual Birthday and end of year graduations and plays.

 Preston got this quad for his birthday!  He loves it!  It was from Grandma and Granpa and Taylor and I.

 Mrs. Hanson was the best teacher.  Preston adored her.

 He did it!  yay!

 Preston's best bud, Tyson!    Mrs. Hanson and Tyson also live in our neighborhood.
 Callie's 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Lee.  She is looping with her next year.
 Callie's class acted out a play the last week of school.  Not sure what it was called.


Activities while Britney, Andy, and my parents were here May 25-June 2nd. Preston's Bday Party!

 The first night Britney and Andy went to the Taylor Swift concert and we went on a walk and looked inside all the new houses being built.  The kids loved it!
 Preston and Callie loved Dallin!  He is so cute!
 Cousins from both sides swimming at Taylor's parents house on Memorial day.
 The kids were still in school so we came to eat lunch with them.  (my mom apparently didn't know I was taking a picture).  Lunch with Preston.
 Lunch with Callie!
 We went downtown Fort worth to the miniature train ride.

 We ate popcorn and snacks along the way and then stopped at a park to play.


 WE also were able to have Preston's birthday party while Baylee and Sydney were here.  It was held at Let's Jump.  I made root beer cupcakes and had root beer for the kids to drink.  We ate cake before dinner because the pizza was late.
 Opening presents.
 Diego and Ronnie from Preston's kindergarten class.
 Britney gave him this revolver and sheriff hat.  He said it was his favorite toy.
 Everyone was sweaty and worn out but had a great time jumping!
