We love our Cousins!

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIZABETH!!! She is 6 today, where has the time gone?!? (for some reason blogger isn't letting me create paragraphs so it's all in one big paragraph. Sorry, I know that makes it harder to read.) Recently our Aunt Amy and Uncle Jim, along with Uncle Ross, came down to visit us. Amy and Jim have Evan and Emma, our cousins. They're about my kids' ages so they have a great time playing together. They are all from the north where winter has been particularly long this year, so I think they were excited to just be outside without coats! One of the things we did while they were here was ride on Thomas the Train! Oops, for some reason this picture didn't get added, so I had to add it last and now it's out of order. Here's Laura and Ryan with Elizabeth, Evan, Ben, and Cooper riding Thomas. Here are all of the kids waiting to go on the train:

Ben, Elizabeth, Jackson, Cooper, Evan, and Emma.

The three older boys loved playing together.

Cutie pie Emma.

Gpa with his grandkids!

The majority of our group waiting to get onto Thomas.

Jackson and I on the train.

A train conductor came around and punched all of our tickets. Jackson was such a big boy and actually handed the ticket to the conductor!

Emma and her Daddy having fun on the train.

Our family in front of Thomas.

Cooper, Ben, Evan, and Elizabeth with Thomas.

They also had pony rides and a few of our kids decided to try it.

Grandpa was nice enough to help Jackson so he could ride it too!

I just had to add this picture because I thought those legs were so darn cute! Here's Jackson in his new puddle jumper. I'm hoping it'll help him in the water so I can take both of the boys swimming by myself. We'll find out soon enough!

We had such a great visit with our out-of-town relatives, and we can't wait until they come visit us again soon!
