Cousins!

Over the holiday weekend we had some visitors at our house.  There were 12 of us for the weekend... our house is a good size... but man I realized this weekend how loud, giggly, crazy, whiny, and fun 8 kids ranging in age from 4 to 15 can be!

We did not do EVERYTHING this weekend together.  There were some that wanted to stay home for various reasons, but overall we had a great time!

Throwing rocks in the aqueduct

Paul, Liz, Jace, Rachel, Abi, Madison, John, Sarah, Tracy & Kasey went to the aqueduct to throw rocks in the "river"

We also went to the park for play time, while Uncle Paul fixed our front door and added a "frame" to our gigantic magnet board in the kitchen.  Madison stayed home.

Playing Mafia on Sunday evening after church.  Notice that Tracy is cracking up... why???  Because we were picking on Kade for making funny facial expressions when he is the Mafia, so he put on the Spiderman mask... he was called Spidey the rest of the game!

Monday before the Mavericks game we went out geocaching.... this one was a bit of a walk, so I headed back to get the car and a few of the tired kids rode with me.

The whole crew.... found this one (after a really long walk!)

Thanks Tracy, Paul and kiddos for coming and spending the holiday weekend with us!  We can't wait to come see you in a few months!
