My family has a big reunion every July and we went together this year.
Here's 3 of the "fab 5" of my cousins. It was nice to have some relaxing time to catch up with Chelsea. Sally and I live close so I get to talk to her a lot! I've enjoyed getting to know her the past couple of years in Arizona.
Jackson was in heaven at the homestead. The first day of the trip was his actual birthday and I think it turned out to be a great day for him. He and Grant ran off to their forts and had such a good time playing dodge ball, digging in the sand, etc. He loved being independent. I was pleasantly surprised at how far we've come since the reunion last year. I've grown SO much as a parent and he has grown up so much too.
All of my close cousins have a girl Hallie's age. We tried to force them to be friends :) Maybe when they get a bit older and understand how to play with others this will work.
Our family rocked the race this year! I got 1st in my age group (2nd in all women) Jackson got 2nd for under 6 year olds and Dave got 3rd in his age group. (In his defense he was slowing down to wait for his post-partum wifey). Hallie cried during the run and didn't finish. Well, you can't win them all :)
The kids are really enjoying Mariah interacting with them a bit more. We cannot get them to stay in their seats during a meal if Mariah is around. They just want to poke, giggle at and interact with her. She is such a good, happy, easy baby. I am remembering how much I love a 6-12 month old and love having "conversations" with Mariah. She learned to spit, so she practices that quite a bit each day.
