We had a full house for Father's Day and Keith's 30th birthday weekend. Keith's parents joined us along with his sister, Chelsey, and her wonderful family of five. The cousins had a blast playing together. From left to right: Hayden, Payson, Emma, Mikayla, Chloe and Madison.
Chelsey and her girls came down a few days early so the kids could have some extra time together. Our 8-passenger minivan came in handy. Poor (or lucky?) Payson was literally surrounded by girls!
The kids played dress-up and had music time. With five girls around, Payson couldn't help but to add fairy wings to his Policeman costume.
We were a few days away from taking our kids to see Toy Story 3 with Keith's company which would be their very first movie to see in the theater. And, if successful, it would even be their first movie to watch from start to finish. So we prepped them with a movie night at home with their cousins, popcorn and all. They loved it! We even gave them their first, brand new pillows for their cribs beforehand which they were so excited about! (They loved their first movie on the big screen, by the way!)
The kids got to decorate their own cupcakes for Daddy's birthday. As always, it was messy fun! Here is Payson showing off his chocolate-covered hands.
Hayden was the only child out of six to choose vanilla over chocolate... and she was the last to choose! Confident in her decision, she chose it again the next time. This is one strong girl who knows what she wants and does not seem to be affected by peer pressure.
Madison eats her cupcakes lick by lick until it's finally time to start in on the cake.
For Father's Day we honored the dads with a bagel family portrait for breakfast. Everyone was depicted and it made me smile afterwards how everyone wanted to eat their own bagel face.
Keith with his wonderful dad, Rick. Happy Father's Day to all!
Grammy (Roxanne) and Madison happy as can be.
Grammy planned a super-fun Treasure Hunt for the kids. They loved finding hidden treasures on their way to the playground and pool... rocks, pencils, pirate patches... all sorts of fun little things!
After swimming hard, the little ones rested while they enjoyed their after-swim snack.
We had such a fabulous weekend with our family, and as always, we cherished our special time with them.

This looks like fun - all of it! Grace would have loved to have joined for just about every activity. How did Toy Story go? I'm thinking about taking G. Was it too long? Did your kids see it in 3-D? Was it too loud?
Leslie, Toy Story went great! We went to Studio Movie Grill where you can eat and watch the movie. That kept their attention and kept them quiet for the most part. Payson was scared at first and had his head tucked into my shoulder during the previews but once Buzz and Woody appeared on screen he was fine.
It was 3-D b/c it was with Keith's company who rented out one of the theater rooms but the kids wouldn't/couldn't wear the huge glasses. I suggest no 3-D for kids. And it's not like Avatar where you are missing out if you don't see it in 3-D.
You should definitely go! Just get food and popcorn to help keep her busy. Let me know how it goes!
So much fun to hang out with you guys!! Thanks for being such a fabulous host, Jessica.
