JonZReaTom came to town!

Warning: Long post with LOTS of pictures of LOTS of adorable children ahead!

My sister, Allison, and her kiddos came to spend some time in Memphis last week, and we had a blast! Her husband wanted to paint (er, um, overhaul!) the kitchen and great room without little children running around, so, what a great bonus for us :) We had so much fun with them. Our daily routine was something like this: wake up, go to my mom and dad's (or wherever we might be meeting up with them), hang out with everybody until nap times, go home for naptime, wake up and go play some more! All Kinley could talk about was her "cousins", especially Reagan.

Everybody came to our house to play one evening. Kinley gave Jeep rides to all her cousins and they were most impressed.

Typical boy, checking out the gears

The boys really wanted to drive themselves, but lacked the necessary driving skills (brake!) so Bud disconnected the battery. Poor Zachary, he figured he'd just push... ha!

Not real sure what Reagan is doing, sneezing or looking at a bird?? Jonathan loved this little car.

While the weather was nice we took advantage by going to a nearby park. We had a picnic and the kids played and played.

Thomas
I love how Thomas is kind of a blur in this picture. That boy is always on the move!

Reagan

The whole gang!

We all went out to visit my aunt and uncle. They bravely invited us all to lunch in the cafeteria and the kids did very well. They were spoiled by the wait staff to say the least :) and were definitely the main attraction of Kirby Pines!

Making our presence known at Kirby!

Me with Kinley and Reagan... and my long lost son! I swear, Zachary could totally be my child. Ward nose and all! We tried to talk Reagan into spending the night with us. I almost had her convinced... until she realized Allison would not be there. "No! I stay with you!" Maybe next year...

Whew! It was too much fun. Jim came towards the end of the week and took them back home. The kids were so excited to see him, but we were sad to see them all go. I can't wait until our beach trip--coming soon!!!
