The Cousins Visit

At the end of last week my sister Katie came to town so Johnny and Cullen could spend a little more time together before Katie's family headed back home to North Carolina.  Johnny came while Cullen was still in school.  Cullen spotted Johnny waiting for him while he was still on the bus, when he got off the bus he ran right into Johnny's waiting arms...

Katie has all boys, who don't like to shop.  So Katie decided to take Nasuuna out and spoil her.  Which of course lead to shadow dancing in her new outfit.

 Cullen spent one morning by himself with the cousins.  He wanted to take them to Lambeau Field, so to Green Bay we went...

 He had fun hanging with the boys...

Cullen even got the chance to introduce his cousins to our good friend Beth.  Which lead to everyone trying on the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl ring...

 The below picture just might be my favorite from the day...

 Cullen had a lot of fun on his day with the cousins.

 We are all looking forward to seeing them again in June!

Nasuuna's 6th Birthday

 Today we celebrated Nasuuna's 6th Birthday

For entertainment Geremu surprised us by preformed a stunt that involved the cake...

I've been prepping Nasuuna and asking her what it is she wants for her birthday and her standard response is, "Nofing, I got everything I want."  I am humbled to be a part of this girl's life.  

Long Easter Weekend

For our long Easter weekend we headed to my parents house.  My sister Katie had flown home from North Carolina with her boys and my sister Megan's family was in town from Minnesota.  It was great having most of the family together even if it was only for a little bit of time.

Nick took the older boys out for a little hiking fun...

They enjoyed it and came back filthy!

We decided to celebrate the "spring" birthdays while we were all together.

 Easter morning the kids all had fun hunting for their baskets.

 Before heading out to church.  

Since the kids were all clean and dressed nice I had to take a picture.

 Granny Bird and Pop with all the grandkids.

When we got back from church the bunny had visited again, eggs were all over the yard.  The kids lined up for instructions.  Each kids had a different color egg this year.  We had to make it fair for the little kids.

 And it's a good thing we did because the little kids did not jump the gun, look at them still standing nicely.

 We always have judged Katie's trips based off of how much she cries when it's time for her to head home.  If she cries a lot she had a lot of fun...  What I didn't anticipate was my own sensitive son Cullen crying when it was time for him to say good-bye to Johnny.   It was heartbreaking I tell ya.  The good news is we have found a little time later this week for the kids to get back together before the cousins head back to North Carolina.
