Miner Cousins Are Here!

We're so happy the MINER cousins are visiting! My brother's family is so much fun and we absolutely love having them here. They got here on Tuesday night.

Wednesday: Zoo Day!

Thursday: Donuts at the Park, Trip to Hanford Dairy for the Miners

Friday: Day trip to Monterey -- Point Lobos hiking, Carmel beach, Dennis the Menace playground, clam chowder on the pier

Saturday: Westin's last T-Ball game, food prep for Yosemite, cousin pizza and movie night, parents date night at Westwoods Barbecue and Roll Me Some

Sunday: Julia's birthday and Mother's Day! Birthday waffles, church, burgers, and cake.

I love these nieces and nephews so much. Westin, Lewis, Jonas, and Julia are all sleeping in the boys room and they love it. Kitty has even gotten used to the crazy and hangs out with all the kiddos at home. Pregnancy is getting to the end stretch, so I am only doing full days every other day with them but we're still fitting a lot of play time in! Westin was sad to be done with T-ball but was so happy his cousins came to watch his last game. Michael didn't have a day off this week (because of his schedule last weekend) but he did get off at a good time on Saturday and Sunday. We love when he's home so much!

T-Ball Pics! I love this cutie. 

He loved doing T-Ball with his best buddy Colt, two to the right of him.

Sweet note from Colt! He had his older sister help him write it.
Cutest.

Miner Cousins Zoo Day!

Bird Show at the Zoo

Feeding those Giraffes!

Westin loves this jeep by the lions. More than he loves seeing the lions, probably.

Sweet cousins

Ended at the sea lions!

Donuts at the park

Big trees in Point Lobos

Point Lobos State Reserve, just south of Monterey

Love this place

We've never NOT seen seals on this beach.

Hidden Beach -- the kids loved throwing rocks in water way more than hiking

This is Weston Beach! He was pretty excited about it :)

Carmel Beach -- such beautiful sand

These boys could have been happy here allll day

Leaving Westin's last T-Ball Game

Time for some Wreck It Ralph!

My favorite beach picture of sweet Bennett

We put Julia's birthday cake in the oven after breakfast and the bowl made for the perfect morning snack :)

Birthday/Mother's Day Waffles! I can't believe Julia is 3!

Happy Mother's Day to wonderful Jenny!
She is such an incredible person and mother. I'm so grateful she's family forever!

And my cute boys... all I ever want for Mother's Day is a cute picture with my kiddos.
Someday they'll be on board, right? :)
