Cookouts and Showers

Daniel's sisters were both in town this weekend for Sarah's baby shower on Saturday. Because ALL of the fam was in the area (we were just missing Sarah's and Hannah's husbands), we decided to have everyone over for dinner on Friday night. We do have a dining room table, but all 17 of the adults decided to sit in the living room where they could talk while they ate...such fun!
At first, Kenna and Luke were content to sleep away their time at the party....
...but JD wanted them to wake up and play!! (He didn't really wake her up). He just can't stay away! He is going to be so happy when his cousins are actually big enough to play with him.Kenna got to meet two of her aunts this weekend. Kenna loved hanging out in Aunt Hannah's arms...she just didn't like taking pictures!

We ended up having to do two diaper changes at the same time so we let Luke and Kenna play in the floor together. Miss K had a blowout so she was getting into her pajamas...we just took the pictures before she was dressed again!

They looked so cute holding hands and looking at each other. I don't have any idea what Kenna is doing/thinking in the other two pictures....any guesses?This next one is our favorite!! Luke is just looking at her like "what?"Of course the evening had to end with some foosball and ping pong...even Luke got in on the action.Saturday was Sarah's shower. It was so much fun to see all the cute stuff for baby Jackson. Miss K had to show Aunt Sarah what it is like to hold a girl...she will have plenty of time to get used to boys later....

JD LOVES his new cousins. He gets very excited around the 'baby' (his name for both Kenna and Luke). We so wanted to get a picure of all of them together; it just took some extra hands to prop everyone up! Mercy was just taking it all in...what chaos!!
Once we got home for the evening, Miss K did some chillin' on her play mat. She had so much fun watching everything move! (we have to work on the red eye thing).


Too much fun!!

You just wonder if Gerry and Ouida ever imagined what it would look like when their kids got married and started having kids?? With all the kids being so close in age, look at all the grandkids/cousins that will have many years of such fun times together. What a blessing for you all!

We had so much family fun this weekend! Thanks for all of your help (and Miss K's) with everything.

What fun! It is amazing how close everyone is with how big the family is. What a blessing. It really looks like a lot of fun. Kenna and JD will have cousins all over the church. What a rare and special gift.

What a huge blessing this weekend was! /////Thanks again to all of you who provided houses, food, parties, work on the house, boating, and fantastic fellowship. The picture of the three granchildren is priceless.
