Cousins

Last Saturday we spent the day with cousins. We started out the day swimming with Sandy, Nicole and Lena. And then in the evening we went to Aiden's 1st birthday party. It was fun visiting with family and I think Jade really enjoyed playing with the kids.

Mommy and Kiera, I didn't realize we matched until we had already left the house!! How funny!!

She was the biggest helper with Aiden's presents...

She just stared intently at him as pulled apart his monkey cake. I think she wanted some but was so good to just let him have at it.

Happy baby Kiera!

I got this picture just a second too late, they were all sitting together in a circle holding hands, just jabbering away at each other. I think our kids will be great friends!

Even Kiera enjoyed the water. She loved bouncing in it in these little swings they had. Aunt Sandy also had fun swimming around with her. She did not complain once, pretty good for her first time swimming!

The girls...

It took almost the entire two and 1/2 hours we were at the pool to get Jade to stop crying and enjoy the water. When we got out of the car and she saw the pool she was super excited to go in, but when we walked in she saw a giant bucket dumping water and it was pretty loud in there so I guess it freaked her out a bit. She started crying and did not want to get in the water. After some coaxing and just going around with Papa in the lazy river, she eventually warmed up. This picture below was taken at the end when she became fearless and was walking on a bench in the water.
