Cousins come for a Visit

I think Samantha and Nathan had a good time and I know Josiah loved having his Cousins visit for an entire weekend!! Hopefully they can come again very soon ;)

A visit to the local park to burn some energy off

We put the kids to work right away helping us in our garden...didn't last long, but Samantha at least helped us get some seeds planted.

Unfortunately all of our hard work in the garden was mostly washed away that night in the terrential down pours we received. Oh well, it was fun planting anyway!

Everyone had to have a turn driving Josiah's jeep...And Samantha made sure she was included in on the fun!

Nathan taught Josiah to say "Cheeseburger" for pictures, so most of the pictures from this weekend are of the kids saying "bur" :)
They kept doing drive-bys for more chips...they would stop, hold out their hands and say "more chips, please" very cute!
Samantha took this picture and it actually turned out really well. There are few pictures out there of me that I can say that about, so I thought I would include it here.
This is a picture of the 4 of us stuck in the old part of our basement during a tornado warning. Thank goodness Dan had left behind his laptop and that we had power!

They do love to wrestle. We were trying to set up the tent and they just wanted to play on it ;)
Yep, the boys are sitting on Samantha. Silly kids!
The reason this picture is so foggy is because the humidity was at an all time high. We had received 4-5 inches of rain the night before and the back part of our yard was flooded. Who needs a splash park when our back yard was one big splash pad. The kids had a ball.
Nathan especially loved the nightcrawlers. I guess the worms where they live just aren't as much fun. He also passed the love of worms onto Josiah :)
Playing in the sandbox, filled with water.
And of course after a day in the sand and mud...it was bathtime!Just a cute picture of Josiah that I took in June.

And I thought I would end this post with the cutest picture I took while Samantha and Nathan came to visit! Thanks for a fun weekend.
