Randomness and Fun with Cousins!

Here's a update on our crazy random lives and the fun we've been having with cousins!

Here's my recent chocolate of the month gift.  These were from Russia.  They were aerated and a little interesting.  Doug said it was hard to find something that didn't have alcohol in it.  I think I know why they put the alcohol in because it's not the greatest chocolate by itself!

A few weeks ago for FHE Sophia had the activity so she drew colors on an egg shell carton and then we had to go outside and find things that were that color.  I thought that was a pretty clever idea and I think we did a good job finding stuff.

 It also happened to be National Sugar Cookie day so we had to have a few of those as well.

This past week we've been so lucky to have our NY cousins in town!  Here they are enjoying a fun sleepover in the basement.

 These two cuties had fun in their own room on a separate bed.

The next day we put out the pools and had fun outside.  One of their favorite things to do was bubbles over the AC unit.  They go so much higher that way!

 This cute buddy liked blowing bubbles too.

This one was contemplating whether or not she wanted to blow bubbles.

 Sophia liked it though.

 I like how they all had their own approach of how to get into the pool.

 Two cuties.

This little cutie wasn't a big swimming fan.  She is rocking a pretty stylin outfit though!

Liza tried so hard to get this one to smile (since she did such a good job smiling when I had their pictures taken a few weeks ago).  Still not doing it.

There was also some driving around in the Barbie Jeep that went on.

After all the backyard fun we went up to BYU to go to the animal museum.  When we got there we were sad to see this sign!  It's closed until Fall 2013!  Crazy!

 So instead we went to this place and it was equally fun.

 Twins!

 After the dinosaur museum we went to Extreme Air Sports. The kids all had a great time there.

 And we even got a smile out of Mabel!

Three little cuties on the airplane!

We also took a trip to the Aquarium with some southern belle cousins that are visiting too.  It was so fun!

Love that sweet Emmers in the middle.  I also love Mabel's glasses.  She's so hip.

Our NY cousins left yesterday to spend time with their other grandma but they'll be back next week.  We also have other cousins from OK that are going to be here then too!  We're so excited and lucky to have them all visit!  We love cousins!
