Oh what fun to spend a weekend with cousins! The kids love to see their cousins and were excited to play with Raylee and Kylah! We were missing a few, but had a good group this year!

Sissy and Charlee Rose were slide buddies!





























Pops has perfected his smash burger and it was a treat for everyone!
Juicy and full of flavor! Lovie made crispy fries making it a delicious meal!

Ryan and Peyton were fans!

So were Kylah and Raylee!

Pops was babysitting Jackson for Haislee!

Maw Maw and her babies!


Homemade pizzas were a treat after being out on the raft. 

These three all close in age and get along really well!







It is hard to believe that Ryan is a senior this year!

We celebrated Maw Maw's birthday. A lot of joy for her to celebrate with so much of her family!





The great grands - missing Kolyns and Denver

Charlie likes little kids and Haislee let him hold her. 

Maw Maw and her kids. It has been a few years since they were all together for her birthday!







I am so grateful to Mom and Dad for creating a place where we can all be together and make these memories. A chance for cousins to be close and sweet family times to look back on!

This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
