Tanner, Lukey, Mimi and Pop Pop!!....

....in Oklahoma!!

In April we had the rare treat of having cousins actually visit us...at our house...in OKLAHOMA!!  
Who comes to Altus Oklahoma for vacation??

Well, Tanner does!
 and Lukey does!
and so do Mimi 

 and Pop Pop!

If it's cool enough for them, maybe it's cool enough for you;)

The arrival:
after a long drive they were all smiles! 
 Straight back to the bedroom for storytime with Mimi!

 Silly faces easter egg hunt!
Face Painting and a Jump Castle



Isaac and Luke found Star Wars buddies in each other while Tanner always threw BYU and sports in on the scene.  Thank you Tanner!  I'm not passionate enough about sports or my alma mater to do the brainwashing!  I need all the help I can get (and we all know Joey is no help...with BYU that is;) 

They stayed up late goofing off and talking in bed,

Dyed Easter eggs

Teased the heck out of each other and had an all around good time!  

I didn't get pictures of the hike or the bike rides, the shooting of birds with Nerf guns 
or the night after night of Uno.   I couldn't keep up with these guys!
We were so grateful to Jake and Ash for sending them down and to Mimi and Pop pop for bringing them.  I think kids can tell when someone is family.  Somehow there's that sixth sense and everyone lets their guard down.   I love that.  By the end of the trip Tanner was teasing Joey and I and we were razzing him right back.  Lukey was sitting in my lap and whined a bit when I had to get up to get something for Georgie.  I raced right back for this rare opportunity of getting snuggles from a nephew!  We love these boys!  And Mimi and Pop Pop too!

The Huddlestons Come for A Visit

Our dear friends, The Huddlestons came for a visit a month or so ago.  But Anne-Marie, I need you to send me some of your pics;)  I didn't take enough! 

Georgie and Joshua met for the first time!  Joshua is just a little chunk of delight!  He is always smiling!


And here's "best friend" Samuel.  Isaac and Samuel (darn me for not getting one of them together!!)  loved each other the moment they met and, 5 years later, still do.  Isaac still misses him.  And so do I.  What a sweet, sweet boy!

This is Emily.  
Emily looks like she just jumped out of Mark Twain or Charles Dickens novel.  And she has a personality to go right along with it.  She and Georgie get along just as well as the boys do.  Now if we could just marry them all off to each other we would have perfection!  Thanks for driving all that way, Huddlestons.  You know you're loved when someone comes to Altus for you;)
