My brother, Quinn, and my sister, Kelly, and their families were all in town at the same time! That hasn't happened in over 3 years. We had so much fun watching the kids play and get along togther. It makes me so happy that they have cousins to play with that are their age. That is something I never had growing up. So, here are quite a few pics I took during their stay. We just love the Grant cousins from Texas and the Robinson cousins from Oregon! Y'all live too far away! Isn't Georgia on your mind??? okay, that was cheezy, but I couldn't resist!

Quinn is the oldest. He is married to Kjirsten and they have Liam (10), Caleb (5...almost 6), Luke (3) and Claire (1).

Kelly is next and is married to Jon. They have Jenna (7), Allison (5), Lauren (3), Caroline (2), and Sarah (2 weeks). Sarah is not seen in the pics b/c she's in Kell's belly. :)

This first pic is of Addyson eating the famous Grant family Chex Mix, which, unfortunately for us, only gets made when my siblings are in town.

Some of the girls!

Pizza Night...the kids were the chefs...it was actually really good Pizza.

The next picutre is definitely my favorite day and a memory that will last a lifetime. We went to the Atlanta Temple to seal my Grandma to my Grandpa, Grandma to her parents, and Grandma to my Dad. It was absolutely amazing.

Me, Kelly, Mom, Dad, Kjirsten & Quinn (Travis was on Jury duty, so couldn't be with us the whole week! :()

Coloring at our house after swimming at our pool.

Getting messy eating watermelon and spitting out the seeds.

We went horseback riding and had our family picture on the same day. Not a good idea considering it was the freakin' hottest day of the year!! BUT, it was a lot of fun.

Syd trying to fee the horse apples. Our friends, the Johnsons, happened to be there the same day and were able to let us feed their horse and ride her. It was great!

Addyson & Liam...look how red their faces are!

Caleb just chillin'

The face-painting, water guns, cotton candy and snow cones were a huge hit.

Sydney getting her face painted the first time.

Syd's 2nd face paint, since getting squirted with the water guns made the first one run off.

Rylin just chillin'

All the grandkids with Annie and Poppy.

I'm only in there b/c I was holding Rylin.

Addyson with snowcone all over her shirt & face-paint running off, trying to open more candy.

So, Sydney has "graduated" from pre-school. Travis and I were talking about the whole idea of graduating pre-school. Don't get me wrong, it's fun for the kids, but it's like saying..."Good job! You turned another year older, let's have a graduation". We just think it's funny that now-a-days they have a graduation from pre-school, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and highschool. "Back in my day......" we only had high school graduation. I'm so old. haha.

We got some really cute pics of Sydney singing. This first one is a favorite of mine.
