Visitors

Aunt Anastasia and Uncle Tyler Harman came to visit!

Alex LOVED having them stay with us! He especially warmed up to Tyler and was pretty sad when his "friend" (as he called him) had to leave. Austin was thrilled as always to have more people to entertain him.

The day they left, we gained three more kids! Paige, Connor and Gavin stayed with us for four days and three nights.

Gavin(above) and Alex(below) decided that it was warm enough to swim in the muddy rain water.

My mom made cinnamon roles for us to take home and we have a cinnamin role birthday party.

Left to Right: Connor, Gavin, Alex, Paige. We sang to everone at once, then re-lit the candles and did it all individually. I think the kids would have done it all day if I let them. :)

Happy Birthday Alex!

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Happy Birthday Connor!

Happy Birthday Paige!

And, Alex again. :) He was super excited about his "happy cake" as he calls it. He thanked ZiZi over and over again for the cinnamon roles.

The kids were all wonderful! Especially Paige and Connor who were BIG helpers with Austin and the little boys.

Happy 7th Birthday Paige!

We celebrated Paige's birthday in June. Isn't she adorable? Connor is standing to her left, and Alex and I are right behind her with our heads cut off.

Classic birthday shot!

It was a pool party at Aunt Gail's house. Gavin has the ball on his head in the above picture.

Here are Paige and couple of her friends digging into the presents.

I love this picture! Paige is the one closest to the camera.

It was a fun party. There was a pinata, but it was the kind that you pull the strings on. So, each child is supposed to pull a string dangling out the bottom of the pinata until someone pulls the lucky string and all the candy falls out. Well, the first girl to take her turn pulled the lucky string. It was really funny, because no one was expecting it so the kids didn't dive for the candy right away.
