Parry Vann Cousins!!!

5 cousins under the age of 5
Jack (5), Willa (4), Addy (3), Oscar (2), and Eleanor (almost 1)
Never a dull moment.

The Vann's introduced Jack to cotton candy at the Red Wings Game and we had many adventures.

Kershaw Beach in Canandaigua

Later in the day Susan said, "I can't figure out why my neck hurts." 4 kids hanging and jumping on her in the water may have done it.

Niagara Falls

Cousins listening to the Sweet Adelines at our Neighborhood Night Out. (plus our good friend Nora too!)

I think we ate 6 dozen popsicles each.

Highlight of the week wasthe neighborhood firetruck providing some entertainment.

Not to mention a trip to Strong Museum, dinner from Dinosaur BBQ, eating at Wegmans, bringing dessert home from Wegmans, glow bracelet parties and late night talks with adults.

too busy packing

I have so many pictures from our trip to Utah and our summer adventures to share but I am excitedly packing for our next adventure with these cute cousins.

The highlight of this trip, besides laughing at kids' antics, is the sealing of this cute girl in green to her wonderful parents, Mike and Steph. Can't get much better than that.

Independence

Happy 4th of July from a little girl who is discovering the joy of crawling, sitting and even climbing the stairs.

Images from Corbett's Glen

We love this place not far from our house.

The kids love to throw rocks in the water.

I love to watch my kids enjoy themselves.

Ryan captures some fun pictures of the kids.

Including Addy's "scared" face. It is a cute one if you ever get to see it in person.

And the last time we went, the kids got to walk Sadie and Sylvester by themselves.

Nothing quite like listening to Addy wrangle a dog.
"Doggie! Come here, right now!"
She did pretty good keeping Sadie in line:)

Happy Memorial Day!

We've had a great day! We hope you did too!

Swinging in the Park

This IS Eleanor.

She is a smiley, happy, chubby little cherub of a baby.

These pictures capture it all!

"Argh, I'm Pirate Addy!"

The highlight of the trip to Florida may have been Addy jumping around corners to say "Arghhhhh, I'm Pirate Addy!" She wore the eye patch and the pirate hat on the plane and in the airport. She got a lot of smiles and chuckles. She continues to wear the hat around the house. Ryan taught her to say, "I'm Captain Moody." All to appropriate some days.
