Cousins

Amy and Eli came to stay with us for a few days while Andi and Chris were in Wyoming on a Trek. We had so much fun together. The kids all got along so well. Amy and Eli are so polite and kind and were a joy to have around. In fact, I kept pointing out all the good things they did to my kids:
"Look! Amy and Eli took their dishes over to the sink with
out being asked."
"Look! Amy and Eli helped clean up all the toys so fast without complaining."
"Look! Amy and Eli were honest and admitted to not doing what was asked with you kids and offered to take the punishment with you."

Ashlyn came up to me and said, "It's starting to feel like you like Amy and Eli more than us."
Ha! It makes me laugh even now! She didn't appreciate their good examples as much as I did!!


Here is Eli, having been tortured by all the girls. He was glad to have our Arizona cousins come with 4 boys!! Even if it did mean he got a bloody lip from wrestling. (Insert guttural testostorone-induced sound here!)


We were having a very goofy family night. I was taking a picture of Ashlyn and Gracie's matching curls and didn't notice him in the picture until later!


Here's a video of the kids jamming out.

Good memories!
