This week flew by, despite my prayer that it go s...l...o...w...l...y. BUT, we got to bulid a lot of memories and relationships with people we love. I am so thankful my kids got to see their cousins. There is something amazingly special about cousins. Growing up, we lived near most of our family and spent lots of time together. We would go for pizza every sunday after church or just hang out at eachothers houses..or go to the s.o.s. ( swimming place) I have such great memories of spending time with my cousins...Cheri, remember cleaning Grandma's play house every year??:) Fun times. I pray that my children will always remember this past week, spending time with cousins, building memories to last a lifetime. We all got to listen to Jason share at a little church in Pierceton, the kids were very attentive and quiet..another memory built.

My sister is so good at bringing biblical truths to life...she read a story about forgiveness and then used some styrafoam cups and acetone to illistrate..:) another memory bulit. doggy pile!!!!!!! Fun cousin pictures, another memory built.

Roller skating was not only fun, but a great energy burner!:) Max and Jake pretty much went non-stop for 2 hours.
another memory built.

Uncle Matt and I built an awesome fort around the dinner table that they got to have a slumber party in...these were the few kids who had feety p.j.'s...couldnt resist taking a picture.:)
another memory built.

Fun in the fort, and amazingly enough, they slept all night.:) another memory built.

Aeva asked me yesterday if we were going to Nani's house to see Derek. With tears in my eyes, i said "No, they had to leave."
I hope the kids hold onto the memories, until we see them again.
