Cousin Fun!

Unfortunately, our kids had their TCAP tests while their cousins were here, so they still had to go to school. I did let the girls stay home on Monday since their TCAP didn't start until Tuesday.


Logan and Laton in our backyard trying out Alex's airsoft gun (Laton was running while Logan shot him :)) Laton was a good sport even if he was the target

Jaidyn ready to go on our walk. I'm amazed how she loves the sling. She just sits in there or sleeps and doesn't make a sound.

Jeanni and I walked up to the little cemetery in our neighborhood. There are lots of old graves from 1700's and 1800's. In Tennessee, you can bury someone anywhere, but that area has to always remain a cemetery even when the land is sold. This one is up on the hill in our development.

Another picture of the little cemetery...it's a little family cemetery with a rock wall around it

Meghan out on the scooter...she and Tessa had fun playing outside in the puddles after it rained.

I saw on Jeanni's blog that Jaidyn and Meghan loved Spaghettio's, so I bought some and as you can see Jaidyn was loving it. My kids don't get them often either and thought that was a treat.

She even cleaned the bowl

Having snacks

We went bowling Monday night...when we got there, the bowling alley was nearly empty and they told us it would be an hour wait. I guess there were leagues coming, but as it turned out we ended up getting in after a few minutes. While we waited, Aunt Jeanni generously supplied each of the kids with a dollar. Jarem went immediately and put his dollar in the game where you can win a movie by pushing the button. He pushed the button and WON A MOVIE! I was shocked!

Logan and Laton both went buck hunting...they are hunters and did well

Alex, Laton, and I while waiting to bowl.

Logan getting ready to bowl with Tessa trying to get her ball. My kids hadn't been bowling in a long time. Tessa and Jarem LOVED it! Alex had a good time and he and Logan were practicing their spins. Jesikah didn't do well without the bumpers. She got mostly gutter balls. She was frustrated, so she ended up giving Alex most of her turns. Alex liked the extra practice.

Jarem waiting for his turn. He would watch the screen and go up when it got to his name.
