Cousin Visit

Owen and Jenell came to Arizona while Jacob and Ryan were still in Utah -- they brought three of their four children and entertained Spencer. Or, should I say Spencer taught them about water and any other rather naughty activity he could think of. One night, I was making a really yummy dinner that needed to be BBQ, well Jake was in and out of the kitchen while I was getting the rest of dinner ready -- I figured he was keeping an eye on Spencer while outside at the BBQ -- oops, not really an eye -- Spence got his cousin Luke and him totally soaking wet with the hose and then filled the swimming pool so they could really play -- needless to say they were soaking wet when we were ready to eat -- they ate at the table shivering with towels. They had a really fun time, so I am glad that they enjoyed themselves.

 

 

 

One of the things that Owen and Jenell really like to do when they are in Arizona, is go to garage sales. I went with them and laughed at the "Grapes of Wrath" truck that they had to drive home in -- Owen threatened to say he was helping us move back to Utah -- to make it all clear, NONE of the things they took home was ours! It was fun to see them, and we are glad that they came!

 

Ryan and Jacob, when they got home Saturday night, were excited to see their cousin Jed. He went with his dad to pick the boys up -- Jake and Owen said that it was fun to see the reaction of the boys to each other -- Jacob ran up and gave Jed a big hug, while Ryan gave him a noogie and maybe punched him -- boys will be boys.

Monday, all of the boys were not quite sure what to do on their own as they have loved having the cousins! Thanks everyone for "BRAVING" the Arizona heat and coming to visit! We LOVE seeing any and everyone that wants to come and visit!
