Phoenix Trip: Cousins Time

It has sort of become a family tradition that everytime we visit Phoenix my mom throws a little cousins and aunt/uncle dinner. It is a lot of fun and gives us cousins that grew up so close a chance to all catch up together. It also gives all of our babies a chance to play and get to know each other a little better. All of the little ones play so well and seem to enjoy being around each other. It was very nice getting to spend quality time with Cara, Alyssa, Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Richard. Fortunatly, I get to see my sister and her family several times during the week that we visit. We spent the evening eating my moms yummy food, talking, laughing, watching the kids play and simply catching up. Definitely makes me miss everybody, but I also get to look forward to seeing everybody again hopefully in the near future. :)

Dad, Aunt Cheryl (my dad's sister) and my Mom.

Aunt Jen, Lucas and Jillian! Whenever Jillian and Lucas are together they have a great time, it's a lot of fun for all of us to watch all of the cousins play together.

First cousins Alyssa and Cara with Jen and myself. Was such a great night catching up with these girls. Cara is due with her second child, a little girl, in November.

Best sister in the world, Jen! I love this girl! We started planning our sisters trip that we plan to take next spring, yay! :)

Brother-in-laws, yet sort of like brothers...Les and Aaron.

Lucas having a blast playing with all of Grammy's toys....however, I think he actually has a pie pan in his hand?

Cousins Alyssa and sweet little Audrey, who is just 2 months older then Sam.

Cara, Matt and Jadon, almost 3.

At one point, Sam was so desperate to play with Lucas that he kept walking up to him and pulling his shirt in the direction that he wanted to play. He did this like 4 times in a row and then would tackle Lucas to the ground, so funny.

I'm such a big boy!

Jillian and Lucas downing some cake, perfect for right before bed, ha! :)
