We went crawdad fishing~
we didn't catch any--
but we had a LOT of fun
and got a lot of pictures-- also, Jordan is peeing in the background of this one- but I can't be critical because - where are my daughter's pants?
all of the kids loved fishing
but I think that Jordan won for the most excited about it.
what a fun time-- 6 kids 2 and under- fish poles, raw bacon and a river-- who could ask for anything more?!
Emmy and TT cooking~the two blondies
Justin's entry in the cook off-- the secret ingredient was shrimp. yes please.
Tiffany's entry.
Jason's entry-- and for the first time in cook off history- there was no top chef named-- they were all so delicious that the judges could not declare a winner.
S'mores--
a recipe for fun and danger-- who lets a 2 year old roast their own marshmellow-- where was I?--oh, right taking the picture- bless my heart!
We had a soccer game-- all of the kids needed to be held-- during the game...
this- combined with my cheating made it a little hard to take the game seriously~and so, it quickly dissolved
to this...
and this...
Emmy found this fun friend-- and I LOVED him--I know you are thinking- seriously, a post about a toad?--
but look at this guy! he looks just like the Harry Potter toads-- "something wicked this way comes"!
The hot tub was the place to be!
The girls were in it just about every day-
and even Penelope Jane got in on the action!
so much fun and splashing--
Cheeser!
cool guy.
My BFF Nicole loving Ellie and helping Hela with his sadness.
This was the biggest smile I could get out of Hela-he is hilarious.
Auntie Nicole and Elles- it was so fun to get to spend at least some time with her-ah! move to Bakersfield now tole!
Jumpin' Jacks is for sure Emmy's favorite place-- and it just might be Jason's too!
This post is backward-therefore~this how the party ended ;)
Abi loved her cake- but it got a little crazy-- so they headed to the tubby!
Lou Lou blew out Abs' candles- of course she did!
Abi put her foot in the cake-- oh the joys of 1 year old birthdays- it wouldn't be cute if I did that...
There were so many fun "moments" in this trip-- here are just a few that I captured- Uncle Justy and Ellie Belly Boo Boo.
I asked Ems to make a surprised face-- and then a happy one- love it!
Elles got lots of fun imprinting time with Grammy.
It is potty training time for just about all of the older cousins-- so it was a family affair.
Sleepy heads.
Emmy and her best friend KK- twinners!
Grammy catching and throwing all of the grandkids-- let's just say that her arms didn't need a workout for that day!
We went to Del Taco and played and played-- Jordy loved his glasses- I loved his smile ;)
All in all the trip was AMAZING because we got to spend time with these little cuties~Elles didn't make it into the group-- but at Christmas she'll be there!
Why couldn't Emmy be Mrs. Smiley pants when she was with her Borchardt cousins?!
