another attempt.

We attempted a picture of the kids once again…here's how that went down.  Once again, no video, so I'll allow the pictures to tell the story :) So much for a good picture of everyone together!

amigos.

Next up was lunch with Mimi and Grandpa at our favorite college eatery, Amigos.

And yes, there were electronics involved and I was okay with that! ;)

hotel hangout.

The next morning, Mimi, Grandpa and Colin came over to hang out in our room for a bit.  Cole and Mimi worked on some bracelets and the boys did what they do best, wrestled!

hotel snuggles.

After such a blast of a fun day, and seriously my favorite part of the day!  I LOVE seeing these kids snuggle!  Callynn was playing hard to get with her sister and loving on Camden instead!  Hotels are going to be so much fun as these kids get bigger and they can all just pile in a bed :)

go buffs.

Can you tell some of our crew feels better than the others?! Cole and I were dog tired by this point ;)

big kids.

Even the big kids need a picture with their parents! We missed Uncle Danny!

grands and kiddos.

THIS may have been the funniest part of the entire day…Brian caught this entire photo attempt on video but it won't load for some reason, so a series of pictures will have to do the trick!  So many hilarious parts to comment on!  Nevertheless, presenting, Mimi and Grandpa with all 6 grand babies!

fun park.

We headed into the fun park and Aunt Jenn, Uncle Brendan, Colin and Declan met us there as well! What a gift to watch the cousins play together!!!

excitement.

We met Mimi and Grandpa at a super fun place for an afternoon of fun!  Can you tell these kids are excited to see them?!

the bridge.

Next up was Mommy and Daddy's turn for a picture…great job Cole!  :)  And then for more of the rest of the crew!  This bridge is special to Brian and I…we spent a lot of time sitting on that bridge talking about life years ago!

oh how things change.

Now, this may not mean much to everyone, but this was a pretty special moment for Daddy and I!!!  If you would have told us 10 years ago what our life would look like in 2013…well, I'm not sure what we would have done ;)  And don't get me started on what could be 10 years from now!!! (How is it possible that we could have a student at Milligan in 10 years?!!)
Praising God for the way He's multiplied our little family!

dinner with friends.

One of our favorite parts of the weekend was visiting with our friends for dinner!
