The boys spent the morning with their Granddaddy, and then he followed us to the playground to watch the insanity in motion. Brendan was climbing up and going down huge slides all by himself. He would try to climb anything!

It is crazy to drive more than 1800 miles to go to a school playground, but the ones close to home don’t have Kierans in them.

It was a little windy

Kieran was DONE. Trevor didn’t nap though!

Gramma and aunts assembled lots and lots of lasagna!

I am not sure how the “Naughty Step” works in this house. I put Trevor to sit on the stair for a little time out, but then Gizmo joined him and they both had too much fun.

I ran out of energy to take pictures at the lasagna party, but it was a full house! It was good to see so many friends and family. We feel so bad for Caleb who was not able to come play because Aunt Erin has bronchitis. I hope she feels better quickly.

It is sad that the full cousinpallooza is over as quickly as it begun. Aunt Erin got sick and stayed home with her boys today and then in the afternoon, Kayla had to leave on a weekend retreat. By the time she gets home, Kieran and family will be gone. So the seven cousins were only ever all together at the same time for about 8 hours!

We are having breakfast with Granddaddy in the morning, then meeting with cousin Lindsay and her new husband in the evening.

The girls taught the boys how to build a Gizmo fort.

Lots of toys!

Trevor stole my taco!

No taco for me, no way!

Trevor and Kieran played hotwheels

Brendan played piano with Ashley

It was a quieter day than the previous ones, which was good for the boys. They are doing so well with all the craziness.

The foursome of boys is on the loose and they have invaded Gramma’s backyard.

Instead of a toolbelt, Gramma bought Kieran a little drill and chainsaw set. The older boys thought they needed to safety check them for Kieran first.

Trevor is in love with the little saw, he shows Kieran how to trim the shrubbery.

We had a pro photographer come to Gramma’s house today, she was going to take pictures of the entire group. Unfortunately, Great-Grandma’s health did not allow her to participate in the photos, even if we all went to the care facility. She was on our minds all day, it is unfair that she had to miss this.

Everyone changed in to their blue shirts for pictures outside.

We sniped a few pictures while the photographer was setting up.

Getting the little ones to all stay in one place was not easy. And since when does Brendan shove a finger up his nose??! Only for portraits!! No matter what the kids were doing, Gramma looks gorgeous. I could easily convince a stranger that she was the mom and these are her seven children!

If this shot is any indication of how well the kids’ pictures turn out, we will have some great photos! SO CUTE!!

Trevor was done with the photo shoot.

So was Rhys!

I hate to tell Rhys, but we are now at maximum tub capacity.

The day was full of emotions covering the full spectrum. We are just trying to make the most of this time together, making precious memories!
