busy labor day weekend

labor day weekend felt so long and not long enough all at the same time. we had so many visitors. i just loved it! mimi & grandpa came up on saturday morning. it was a little chilly outside for the pool on saturday so we went to the playground instead . . . equally fun for a two year old! here's some fun watching football with grandpa & playing with mimi!

sunday morning we had a great visit with aunt hilary & uncle matt. unfortunately i was terrible with the phone this weekend so i didn't know they were coming and put emersyn down about 10 minutes before they arrived. hilary made an uber-cute shirt for emersyn. she's already worn it with some of cousin reese's pants. i'll post a pic as soon as i remember to snap one! aunt hilary and brody had lots of fun with playdough while uncle matt & dad talked landscaping, tvs, etc . . . guy stuff. hilary saw the perfect side of brody. just for the record he melted down soon after they left! i do have to admit that i'm happy that he's perfect for others . . . if he's going to choose a time and a place to behave well he chose wisely!



then on monday gram & papa met us at the pool with reese & matson. we were happy to have the pool nearly to ourselves. i know the kids had fun, but i think the adults were ready for naps by the end of the pool trip. i know i took a good one that afternoon! after the pool we headed to the house for hot dogs. gram made sure we took a picture of all of the cousins before they left, and i'm so glad! you should've seen the way that emersyn was looking up to her older cousin reese! emersyn was just so happy and laughing the whole time! they both just loved it! i was thinking about it later, and i wonder how many pictures they'll take together on this couch over the next many years!

actually, matson had had a meltdown in the high chair, so we got everybody ready and then just plopped him down and starting shooting. i think it turned out pretty good, considering.
