Ah, Family. :)

I have about a billion adorable pictures from the last week or so, and it was really hard to pick, so I had to narrow it down for myself and only use pictures that fit within the theme of "cousins." All six of my nieces and nephews spent a good amount of time at my house the past few days, and it was - shall we say - riotous fun.

Well, at least they're all sitting still, if not looking at the camera and/or smiling. Close enough. This is outside the new Oquirrh Mountain temple if you couldn't tell from the sign.


This picture cracks me up SO much. It totally looks like they're rapping, with Jarrett doing vocals and Bree beat-boxing.
So. Funny.


Ali and Bree, a pair of incredibly gorgeous little girls!


Bree trying to help Ronny walk. It was quite hilarious because she would grab his hand, and then take off at a run and Ronny wouldn't be able to keep up. It frustrated Bree and made my mom nervous because Ronny kept falling, but I was laughing. :)


Grandma with the babies. I love how they're both like, "Okay, we are done with pictures, can we just go home?" Also, if you think THOSE matching expressions are funny, check out the next two.



L . . . O . . . L


Awww, buddies. Actually, Ronny was just trying to crawl over Carson, but we can pretend he was giving him a hug.


Okay, this doesn't actually fit with the cousin theme, but it's so cute that I couldn't help it. Ali got hurt on the swing and needed a cuddle from her grandpa.


These two were HILARIOUS. This started out as a fight over who got to use the beanbag chair, but soon became some kind of weird wrestling game. They did this forever, and you should have heard them giggle!


Bree and Jarrett enjoying some TV. Note the nearly identical hair color, and striped shirts. Cute.


Ronny: "Please, please, please give me some of whatever delicious food item you have up there!"
Carson: "No way, buddy. Go mooch somewhere else."


Okay, this doesn't fit with the theme either, but come on, you wouldn't want to miss the chance to see Rachel as a Tongan warrior would you?


We decided face painting would be a good idea for some reason, and it DID keep everyone entertained for quite some time, but it was a MESS. Especially for poor Grandma. She, very bravely, allowed the children to paint her face. Her whole, entire face. I just like this picture because all six of the wee ones are clustered on the blanket around their grandma. :)




And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. A video of a couple of three-year-olds having a pillow fight! Wahoo! Seriously though, this is way funny. In case you were wondering, this took place soon after the beanbag chair incident.

Okay, that's it for now, but I need to do a post about our Monroe family reunion that was last weekend too, so stay tuned. For the moment, I'm going to go watch House.
Because I want to. So there.
