A visit from Chris!

This past week we were lucky enough to get to have my brother Chris and his family come into town and spend a few days with us. The kids love their cousins and were so excited to have them here. We just played and enjoyed each others company!

Chris was kind enough to play soccer with Cavin and Caden in the backyard.

Apparently Cavin just scored a goal!

We played on the trampoline and Chira was helping out with the fun!

Cute Charlotte and Chira

Friday we took the kids out of school and went to Galveston beach. Channing loves Charlotte so they played and ate chips ;)

Grandpa and Coleton digging in the sand!

It was a beautiful day! Here is Grandma, Chira, and Charlotte enjoying the sun!

Cavin thinks it's a little bright!

Channing's hair always looks so red in the sun!

Dig, dig, dig!

The girls enjoying the shade!

Grandpa hard at work!

Watch out...she'll get you!

Ella was LOVING the water. She was one of the few brave enough to endure the "cooler" water and never wanted to come out!
Galveston was a lot of fun but the traffic getting home is not so great. After Galveston we came back to Grandma and Grandpas to have an early birthday party for Chris and Ella who have the same birthday on May 5th, and Charlotte whose birthday is on the 10th. The boys started with soccer in the backyard again.

Grandpa being silly waiting!

Here's Charlotte

Channing's buddy Charlotte! She loves her cousin!

Cute cousins...Channing, Charlotte, Caden, Ella, Coleton, and Cavin....think Ella's the odd one out with a name starting with E :)

Silly faces!

I'm sure gonna miss them! We loved having them around and so wish they lived closer! Maybe someday!
