Cousins, Cousins Everywhere!

The beautiful thing about living in Tracy again is that we are super close to my sister and her boys. They come over quite often I love having our children grow up together and be best buds. Here are some pictures I shot of them the other day playing in the backyard.

Also, my mom and brothers, and friends. So, when we want to have a family get together, its as simple as that. My brother, Shawn, is in the Navy and is being stationed in Japan so while he is underway my sister-in-law and her 3 kids moved up here from San Diego for the next year. We love having them so close and plan to spend a lot more time with them. So, they have twin girls who turned 4 this week and we had a little mini-birthday party for them at my sisters house. It was so fun to get the majority of my mom's grandchildren together, we were only missing 2 out of the 11.

Kellan was asleep for this picture:)

And yes, I said those girls are turning 4 and Kade is as tall as them, its true:)

And kids aren't kids without a picture like this

Also, Uncle Beau makes himself a target for situations like these...

If you remember this time of year last year, we went to a Childrens' Hospital charity event called Color the Skies. http://lacyboo.blogspot.com/2008/08/color-skies.html

Well, this year we went again and having two kids, I found it very difficult to break out the camera, but I did get a couple shots of Kade and his cousin Brody in the jumphouse:)

And looking at that other post is so so funny because Kade was such a little guy! OH how I love my sweet big boy:)

So, all in all, it was a fun-tatsic weekend with lots of family. We have it pretty good to be that close with all of our loved ones.
