Cousins in town from Chicago


It's really hard getting that many kids to look happy for a picture, believe me we tried

My uncle Scott and his 2 kids, Matthew and Ethan, came to town for a long weekend last week. Matthew and Ethan are my cousins but they are closer in age to my kids so they had a great time playing with each other. It was so good to see all of them and catch up. I really miss my uncle. He moved years ago to Texas, then Georgia, and now Chicago. I'm hoping his next move is back to California. We grew up with him living close and he was such a goof-ball. He was always saying something off-the-wall or doing something crazy.

We went to the beach last Friday with them and then had a big family dinner at my dad and moms house on Monday evening. It was pure craziness on Monday. We had 9 kids and 9 adults. That many kids makes for a very loud night!

I couldn't resist putting this one in of Amanda.
