Fun with Family

One reason we were excited to move to our new place was because it meant we would have some family close. We're so excited to live close to Kyle & Tami, my aunt & uncle, and their cute kids now. They're only about 5 minutes away-close enough even to walk- and we've been over quite a bit already. Another huge perk- Kylee just left for college, but Kourtnee & Kenlee are just about the best babysitters around! We love that!
Back in August another aunt & uncle, Robyn & Will and kids, came up to visit for a couple days. It was a blast to see them. We met each other at the park one night and enjoyed visiting until dark while the kids ran around and played together. Even though both families' kids are older, they get along so well with ours. I love seeing my kids being able to run and around and have a blast with my cousins. The kids are all so sweet & we loved spending time with everyone.
On Friday night, Tami & Kyle had a little BBQ at their place so we all got together and enjoyed a yummy dinner. It was fun to sit out in their beautiful backyard and enjoy the evening. We finished off the night with some kickball, and other games.
Emily was in heaven with all the attention she got from everyone. I love the picture of her with Kaden- too cute!

Jeff was probably a bad influence, but he showed the kids how he could climb up the basketball hoop and onto the deck. Kenlee is a daredevil and was able to do it too. The kids ran around playing tag with nerf guns, and had some pretty good games of arcade basketball. We probably stayed way too late, but it was so nice to sit and visit with everyone. I used to spend a lot of time visiting with my aunts- they're more like sisters than anything- and with everyone so spread out and busy, you don't get to spend nearly enough time with each other. It was such a fun evening.
