Cousins in Utah

Of course the cousins in Utah are the other biggest highlight of our vacation. The kids got to spend lots and lots of time with their cousins. Since the 4 big kids are all around the same age range somewhat, they all got along so well and played so well together, coming up with random fun ideas to play and do. Amanda was so cute to always take care of Cooper. She has always had something special for Cooper. When he was tiny, I remember her reading princess books to him on the floor. Even now, she helps him to feel special, and always included him in their play and took extra good care of him to make him a part of the group. And in return, he absolutely adores her. Jaxton really enjoyed spending time with Dillon this time. The two of them really got along well and had quite a bit of fun together.

We went to see the movie CARS 2 in the theaters. It was action packed and super exciting. Of course the kiddos loved it! Cooper made sure that he was sitting next to Amanda for the show!

Here are the big kids frosting sugar cookies after our BBQ one evening. They are all so deep in concentration! They are all awefully cute!

Kaylee & Spencer got re-acquainted again since they got to know each other in California a few weeks back. Spencer is starting to try to scoot and crawl a little, and Kaylee is just trying her very best to prove that she isn't far behind him! They are about 3 months apart or so and it is so fun to see Spencer and look forward to Kaylee sitting up and getting around in just a few months!

Jaxton took especially to Baby Spencer. He really has enjoyed having a baby in his house, and he has really enjoyed getting to know a new baby, his newest cousin. He was trying so hard to be gentle with Spencer and share with him and play with him. It was fun to watch. Here he is teaching Spencer how to hit the drum!
