We hosted Taylor family dinner at our house, & its always fun playing with cousins.  My kids are so lucky to have so many cousins not only their age, but that all live in the same valley! My kids have 32 cousins on my side, & 14 on Ry's side. Isn't that amazing?! I love my family & am so blessed to have married into the most down to earth family!

Davis & Claire are 2 peas in a pod!

Not the most flattering picture, but she was coming to get me.  I need to be better at taking more pictures at family functions, which are pretty much monthly between both our families! Because this post doesn't do justice for all the fun that takes place.

fair rides = a no go!

So there was a mini fair that was set up just down the road from us, & we decided to check it out. 

Lauren was a little shy

Davis was so excited & was the first one in the cars

He was patiently waiting...

and waiting...

Then he got this worried look on his face & then suddenly thought, "this isn't such a good idea" The ride began & he started to panic because another kid started crying.  I wanted to take some more pictures of him, and NO they did not stop the ride for him! I would be a mean mom taking pictures while my boy is crying & reaching out to me every time he passes us! Its okay Davis, we aren't good on rides either!

He was intently watch his cousin on her ride
