A Week of Family Fun - Part 2

Jordan was babysitting Drea while Terri and Chris went floating. We met her up at the Wading Pool so the kids could cool off outside. It was really fun! Teague was having a blast in the water!

You can see them all just wandering around here. The big boys thought they were too big for the wading pool, but they had a blast!

Jump Teague!

Jordan, Kyle, and I cooled off in there too. It's nice to just walk around in the water.

Carterman taking a rest :)

Avers under the umbrella (or mushroom as she says).

Oh yeah, this guy was having fun!

Drea tried to copy everything that Avers did...

like laying down on their bellies!

2 cool dudes under the falling water.

There was a lot of hand holding happening.

She took a turn with Teague too!

When Lincoln woke up, he came up to check out the pool too. He looked fabulous in his new swim trunks from Grandma Burgman.

Just some kids hanging out in the sunshine!

Ave just loves Lincoln.

We tried to get them to all sit down for a minute...it didn't happen!

I love this picture. Teague patting his little cousin. He's been kind of selfish with his stuff at home. Luckily he's fine when they are out of the house.

A little Tropical Sno treat sounded good when it was time to leave - these 3 agree!

The next day Callie came in to visit! We love having her around. She was helping the kids pass around a ladybug while we were at the Splash Pad.

Drea, Terri, and Chris were headed back to Alaska that night. It was so nice to see them. Miss Drea is so cute. My kids had a lot of fun with her.

Teague and his buddy Callie. He thought he was being funny not looking at me.

Carter loves a good ladybug.

Teague actually played in the water a little bit!

Cowboy swings time. We fill up a swingset all by ourselves!

Daddy and Teague were flying!

These two skinny butts love the witch's hat!

Ave's face in this one kills me.

A happy Linky Lou swinging with his Mom.

What a nice smile!

Time to cuddle with Callie! Lincoln was not shy around her at all that night.

Kels and Joe went to a movie, and Lincoln passed right out on Grandma. Teague helped by petting his leg.

Callie and I got the big kids out of the house for a walk on the trail. We saw some baby ducks. Their little yellow heads were so cute.

A nice sunny picture on the trail. They played down there for a good hour and a half! We are having so much fun. More pictures to come next weekend as usual!

A week of family fun - Part 1!

Lincoln got to take a bath with two of his crazy cousins - he kept checking out both sides. They had a good time in there. Teague really needed one, he apparently smeared dirt all over his face earlier!

On Tuesday we went out to Fairmont and had so much fun! Auntie Erica was in the pool first with Avery, Teague, and Lincoln.

We had a big group out there! Erica, Avery, Jordan, Teague, Carter, Joe, Lincoln, Kelsie, Chris, Drea, Landon, and Terri!

These two had a lot of fun diving for quarters and going down the waterslide.

Drea really liked Jordan. They were pals all week long!

Lincoln is a big fan of Avery. He kept reaching for her in the pool...

And they had a nice hug together!

The next day Lincoln enjoyed finding his belly button while sitting in the slip and slide!

Wednesday night was Erica's baby shower. Terri (with some help from Kelsie) made the cutest diaper cake for Erica.

We had a ton of family there but also some friends. Madisyn isn't turned around yet, but Ritter, Myla, Lori, and Leena all got in the picture for me.

Drea looked so cute at the shower. The long sleeve pink dress is smashing!

Aunt Diane won one of the gag gifts at the shower. She made the mustache clip look good, and I'm sure she will love reading Jim Belushi's autobiography.

Erica looking cute while opening some presents.

Girl cousins picture! Back row: Kelsie, me, Erica, Jaime, and Kathi. Front row: Terri, Jordan, Abbey, and Nicole. We haven't had that many of us together for a long time!

5 sisters together (Aunt Terri was at work) - Mom, Diane, Margaret, Nancy, and Helen.

And now all of us together!

Erica got a good picture with Sean's family too. They are all so nice. From L-R: Sean's sister Jennifer, her daughter Kiera, son Elijah, Sean's soon to be sister-in-law Crystal, and her Mom.

A sister picture :)

While we were having the baby shower at Christina's, these kids were having fun with Dad, Kyle, Little Kyle, and Joe. They went to the pizza parlor and then played outside. It's always nice when Josh and Luke can come play. They always have fun together.

This was supposed to be their crazy picture. I just love how insane Teague looks!

Lincoln has been loving the yard toys. The fire truck, cop car, and lawnmowers have been a big hit!

Kels brought them some cheese and crackers. Everybody loves a good snack!

Doggy pile on Landon!

Later on we had some grandkid pictures taken at Mile High. This was before our photographer arrived. I'm so amazed they stayed clean. Lincoln was snacking with his parents at the time.

My monkeys!

I will have the real ones from Nikki soon. I know they are going to be so cute!

The next morning we went to breakfast before Erica had to drive back to North Dakota. She is now in San Antonio for a conference for school. Lando is chilling with us. I was trying to get one of Drea in her kimono shirt. She is a fashion plate!
