Family time with the Muma's

As I mentioned before, my younger sister Heather came to visit a couple weeks ago from Kalispell, MT with her son Titus (4) and daughter Talea (10 months). Our boys are all 13 months apart. Kevin was 5 in April, Titus was 4 in May and Ashton was 3 in June. Then we have Jordan and Talea who are about 6 weeks apart. The three big boys have lots of fun together and I look forward to them making many more memories together as they grow up. Ashton and Titus really enjoy playing together. They are quite the pair those two. They can be little trouble makers when they are together. When they would walk in the room Kevin would say "Here comes those two crazy boys!" When they have spent a lot of time together, they fight like brothers.

Here are some more pictures from their visit...

Kevin and Titus had almost the same outfit on (it was not planned)

Lunch time on the porch



I threw this one in because I thought it was cute of the boys. We were on our way home (in jammies) from a fun night at my parents house


Don't let that smile fool you, this guy can be trouble ;)


I just love Ashton's long hair. He is so beautiful.




I thought it was so funny how Jeremy was holding Jordan, and Jordan just looks so chill, just hangin' out. He is so tiny.


Here are all the Muma cousins:

Chants (10)
Kevin (5) Ashton (3) Jessica (12) Titus (4)
Jordan (8 months) Talea (9.5 months).


Heather & Talea.
That bow is so cute I can hardly stand it!



I just loved Talea's ruffle skirt!



Here is the whole Muma clan getting ready to walk around Battle Ground Lake (Papa Roger was taking the picture) Mom & Dad: 3 kids, 7 grandkids and counting.


Jordan and Talea ready for the hike. They've got it made!




Battle Ground Lake
We used to swim here all the time as kids. Julie (my older sister) and her family camp here every summer.


Titus and Ashton found a centipede on the trail


My turn to hold Jordan after a 'milk' break halfway around.





We also made a day trip to Cannon beach. The weather was dry, but very windy and cold. It didn't seem to bother the kids...





...but the adults weren't quit as happy.


Trying to keep Jordan warm


Last but not least we had a pizza party at the Baker's house. Papa Tim built his own brick pizza oven on the back patio where he makes the best homemade pizza's!

Jordan likes to suck/chew on glass bottles for some reason. This was a ROOTbeer bottle in case you were wondering.


Chillin' with Papa Roger. Can you tell they are related?



Look at these cute babies!
Jordan with his cousins. Talea (6 weeks older) and Stuart (2 weeks older)
Stuarts mom is Jeremy's sister Michelle.


I can't wait to see these two guys play together when they get older!

oh man I loved all the pictures. Those boys are certainly going to cause a ruckus. I wonder what kind of summer traditions they'll do when they're older, maybe camping every summer or camps. :) I love it.
