Cousins!

This past week we were fortunate enough to bring our niece and nephew from out of state to stay with us! The boys were beyond thrilled to have their two "older"cousins, Sebastian age 12 and Leilani age almost 11, come stay with them. Hailey was just excited to have more playmates! We stayed very busy the whole time they were here with trips to San Francisco, the Fire station, and of course SWIMMING! Oh, and we also went swimming, and after that we would swim! (just a little inside joke!) It was so fun to hang out with these two great kids and get to know them a little better. We also got together with James' brother, his girlfriend Katie, and her son, Landon, and made it a full fledged family affair! Thanks you guys for spending a part of your summer with us and making it a very memorable time! We love you Sebastian and Leilani!
The whole gang at James' fire station. We got to climb the ladder, squirt the hose and Jackson and Landon even got to drive the tiller cab! (That's the back end of the really big fire truck!)

Looks like so much fun! Glad you had your cousins down! Kerry you are looking a little TAN, my friend. Have you been swimming? :) Remember when we took Jackson, Ali, Mesa, and Tea to San Fran and Mesa bit Ali out of road rage from sitting in the car for HOURS on HOURS of traffic. AHHH--the good times. ha ha

Yes Kels, I do remember that trip! That was the last time we were in San Fran until this trip with the kids! Jackson kept trying to tell me he remembers it - HAH!
