We were so excited to have Wayne's brother, Matt, his wife, Heather and their two beautiful children, Mattie & Reddin come visit us recently. This was the first time we got to meet Reddin & we're in love! What a sweet baby. Grace, Caroline & Mattie played from morning until night & had a ball making more cousin memories.... jumping on beds, playing dress up, dolls, Wii bowling, and going on our daytime excursions....
We made our annual trek together to Tougas Farm for another 1/2 bushel of apples--- the Gala's & Honey Crisps were at their peak.
Monday we went to Dean Park for playground fun and fishing. Caroline begged to go to school, but I kept Grace home to play with Mattie. (When Grace went to school on Tuesday she told her teacher that she stayed home to play with her cousin and her teacher said, "I don't blame you. Cousin time is important.") Amen!
At Dean Park, Wesley caught his first fish, a delicious bass. We were impressed, however Wesley had a different reaction....
It was fun double dating to Chipotle, having Matthew share some of his pilot stories with the young men Wayne teaches at church, shopping with Heather, walking the halls at church with Reddin---(he's so light & so very sweet) & whipping up some ornaments & applique t's for Mattie & Reddin, & Wayne's "knock your socks off" Rocky Road ice-cream.
It was a great weekend and we hope to share our autumn with our FL family again next year!
Cousin time in dreamland....

Finally! I know when you don't blog for a while it is only because you are busily whipping up lots of wonderful crafts and such, but still! It is nice to hear from you guys again.
(Regarding my recent post on Eagle's Nest Peak) Just show up and we will go see it together! (And please don't let our tiny house dissuade you from staying with us the next time you are coming through.) We would love to show you guys around these parts.
Happy crafting! (Just remember to through in a new post now and then.)
Fun!
Cousin & aunt/uncle time IS the best...we have to figure out a way so the CA and the MA cousins can have those memories too:)
So cute! I love the fish picture of Wes, can that please be in the calendar this year?
What a great visit! I love all the pics--esp the one of the girls sleeping, you and Wes (you look so beautiful), and Wes' expression with the fish is priceless!
So true, Shay! Let's meet up in Nauvoo & do some caravaning/touring together.
Aw, we always have so much fun visiting you guys! We look forward to it every year, and are so grateful that you guys put us up each fall! I am so happy that Mattie has so many cousins to make memories with, and now Reddin too. By the way, he is totally LOVING the airplane blanket! You are so good to us!
Loved Wesley's face when viewing the fish :)
Also, congrats on your first book - that's outstanding. I think it is going to be my Christmas break project...
Hugs,
