A weekend at Gamma and Poppy's

July is a busy month for college basketball coaches. Three weekends full of watching high school basketball across the country looking for that one or two guys that can help you win next year...or the year after...or maybe the year after that. With that said, Chris is typically out of town, so off to Gamma and Poppy's we go to spend some time and get some help! What we didn't know was that our cousins would be there too to play with us! It can be a bit chaotic with 5 grandbabies around the house, but it is always so much fun to watch them interact with each other and to get some snuggle time in with my nieces and nephew!

This little water bug LOVES swimming and likes that she can wear her float and move around all by herself!  

                                         

Jordan and Parker are two peas in a pod already, there is something about them both that is so similar. Somersault practice in the kitchen and swimming in the pool! These two crack us up!

  

It's fun to be at your grandparent's house because you get a few things you don't don't always get to have at home. There is no denying Jordan her sweets!

Surely, SURELY three adults can handle 5 kids in at Chick-fil-a! See how good we're doing?


And...then we lost control and couldn't get out fast enough! Should always leave while you're ahead!

 

 

With 5 kids in the house there always seem to be babies in place and parents in another, so it is a divide and conquer kind of effort. See a kid, grab a kid, make sure nothing happens! Jordan and I got some morning snuggles with Parker and Payton. Payton really does like me more than it may seem! 

    

Taylor wanted some snuggles too!

Jordan very intense while watching Gamma play "This little piggy..." with her toes.

They all love Taylor...well, they love a baby! Payton especially liked to tell us where the baby was at all times! She's not down here playing with Taylor in this picture, probably because her mommy was in the room and she LOVES to be held by her mommy! :) It is  fun to watch Parker and Payton be the big cousins now, when they have been the babies for the last year and a half. Parker kept trying to figure out how to lay on her tummy like Taylor and Jordan. Jordan was being very protective over her baby sister.

There is nothing like sharing your kids with your family. I love being able to watch my parents love on my little girls and the pure joy they have for being grandparents to all five of their little grandbabies. Even though my sister and I do not live in the same town we are the best of friends, so it is so fun to watch our kids play and grow up together. I am only slightly afraid of what these kids will get into one day! :)

Where's Payton?

 

Oh, there she is..with her mommy! Love you sweet Pay!
