One of the reasons that we were excited about moving to Texas is that my little girls can play with their cousins just a few hours away! They got along really well the first few hours together, but I think Olivia just wants to play with her cousins her way. She would always follow Brandon who is a year older than she is, but he wasn't too happy about it. I guess if I had a little girl that would chase me with sticks, open the door while I was going potty, challenge me to screaming competitions, and lock me in a dark pantry following me around I would get really annoyed too. Brandon was a really good sport though.
When I was pregnant with Jocelyn, I flew with Olivia and had a miserable time chasing her around with all my bags and feeling larger than a whale. I saw another lady traveling with two small children alone and at that moment, I told myself I would NEVER do that. Well, I was wrong. I was glad that I saw her though because I was very well prepared for this flight. The night before our flight, left our kids with Uncle Ryan and Aunt Emma and headed to the Dollar store. We bought Olivia 5 cheap toys that I had in my backpack and gave to her one at a time every time she got bored with her toy. It worked wonderfully! Jocelyn did great and Olivia loved all the toys!
Since my sister is ridiculously healthy, I had to wait until she left to make chocolate chip cookies. I had the kids help me. Even though they are really tiny kids, they did a great job not making a big mess.
PaPa, you've been replaced for your horsey rides. Bryce is the fastest horsey I've ever seen!
Jocelyn really got into solids at my sister's house. She is really loving her solids unlike her sister who refused everything that I put in her mouth. I love this picture of Jocelyn. She is actually so tiny that she is lifting herself up in the picture so she can see over the tray.
Brandon and Bryce LOVED playing with the baby! They always wanted to hold and play with her.
My nephew Bryce got a pocket knife! He and Grandpa decided to carve some soap! Both made a train and I was very impressed with their sculpting skills.

When the kids had a Popsicle, they had to sit next to the wall. It was so fun listening to them laugh and talk!
Big kids on the playground.
Olivia always loves being on the swing, so we tried Jocelyn out on the swing and she loved it!
My happy swinging girl!
Bryce is like his mom when she was young: she never wanted to smile in any pictures. After about 20 pictures of him hiding his face, we finally got one!
And Amanda, since you think you can dance, guess everyone should see!
