CRAZY Cousins...

July 4th weekend...

We went to Uncle Jody and Aunt Joni's house in New Braunfels. There were 9 kids total, and they all played so well together.

Road Trip...On the way, we picked up lunch to eat in the car, and Mallory fell asleep while eating her hamburger.

We weren't there long before Ellie had Mallory change into some dress-up clothes. Mallory brought a whole suitcase of dress-up clothes that Ellie has out grown...THANK YOU ELLIE!!

Bryce and Jacob (both are 3 yrs old)

Mallory and Jacob

Uncle Joe and Brooklyn (4 months)

During the day on July 4th, we went swimming at the Schlitterbahn Resort...

Ryan (9), Mallory, Daddy, Uncle Jody, Mommy's cousin Chris, and cute little Lucas (16 months)

Mallory and Bryce

Cole (23 months), Jackson (3), Mallory, and Molly, too...

How cute is this...Cole and big brother, Ryan

Aunt Joni, Ryan, and Mallory

Ellie and Daddy were there to catch Mallory...

Mallory showing some new moves learned from swim lessons...

Mallory sure LOVES her Daddy...she had so much fun swimming with him!

Walking to the park to watch fireworks...

I absolutely LOVE this picture...Mallory looks so happy! She was excited to be with her cousins...this was by far her best visit with them. She never acted shy or clingy like she has done in the past...she loved every minute of it!

This was so cute...While waiting for the fireworks to begin, Ellie organized a game of "Duck, Duck, Goose"

RUN Mallory!

Bryce's turn...

Not easy to get this many to look and smile at the same time...

Watching the fireworks...Mallory wanted Ryan to sit by her

Mallory LOVES fireworks (she always has). She stares, cheers, and comments on every color.

On Saturday, the 5th, the kids did A LOT of playing around the house...

In the backyard...

On the trampoline...

and even in Uncle Jody's office...

Mallory played with Brooklyn...

Ellie had Mallory, Bryce, and Jacob doing exactly what she told them to do...

Mallory had a great time playing in Ellie's room with her dolls...

Before Mallory's nap, Ellie read to her. When I went to check on them, Mallory said, "Mommy, leave." She was perfectly happy being with Ellie...



Saturday night, we got BABYSITTERS so we could go out!

We had a wonderful time...we always do when we are together. We did however miss Mimi, Pawpaw, and Aunt Teresa, but they were busy in Houston getting packed to move back to Fort Worth :o)
