Going to Grandma's House....

Since Brayden is on track break for all of November, and Patrick was going to be working a bunch to get ready for his audit, I decided that would be a great time to go and visit my family in Prescott. So me and the boys loaded up and went to go and play. My boys absolutely LOVE their cousins, and they always have fun when they are with them, and this time was no exception. My parents have a big backyard, and it happened to be full of leaves, so what else do you and your cousins do but gather them up to jump into them. I don't think that my kids have ever done this before, so they thought it was just about the coolest thing ever!

They all carefully helped get the leaves into a pile, even sweet little Ainslee was in on the fun, just because she is the youngest, she wasn't going to get left out! 
 

Get ready.....

Get set... GO!

Then do it all over again.....

Then Uncle Russ made sure all the leaves were off the kids before going inside grandma's house by shaking them upside down. Brayden thought this was just hilarious! Uncle Russ is always fun to play with!

The kids also got to get in on the action packed family movie night at my brother's house. Russ also invited the boys to spend the night at their house. My boys have never slept over at someone's house before (mostly because Patrick and I don't allow it) but since this is my big brother we were talking about, I jumped at the chance to let my kids have fun with their cousin's and for me to get a chance to sleep in!! Ok, so it was partially for selfish reasons, but before we left AZ, I returned the favor, and had all my brother's kids over at my mom's house for a sleepover too. We watched movies, made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, and had lots of fun.
I think it's so cute how Brayden is laying on Sierra's lap. He sure loves his cousins, and thinks they are the coolest thing ever.

My mom, me, and my sister in law even got a chance to stamp and make some cute cards, and a very cute pumpkin! I even got a little scrapbooking done while I was there. I borrowed on of my mom's Cricut cartridges and have made some way cute christmas ornaments with them this past weekend when our great friends, the Grigg's came to visit. Melis and I love to craft together, so thanks mom for letting me borrow your stuff!!  :)

Here are all the cousins that got together. The rest are all in Texas, and we can't wait to get together with all of them. It's always fun to be with my family!!!!
Here's Jeffrey, Brayden, Sierra, Ainslee, Conner, and Kenzie!

We had a fun time!
