The Keller's Visit...

We just enjoyed a week-long visit with Travis, Lauren, Rex & Tyson. We went to Disneyland, played around the house a lot, and just enjoyed being together. We wish we all lived closer! Rex just turned 2 in June, and Ty, "the tank", is now 4 months-old. I always say Lauren gives birth to toddlers--isn't he a cute little chunk!

Disneyland--the whole gang (minus my parents)

The carousel at Disneyland didn't really appeal to them (well, Maggie liked it but she was the only one), but the one at Irvine Spectrum provided a few minutes of entertainment for Rex & Maggie.
This was our attempt at a group shot of the kids.
Playing in the backyard with my Papa--he's referred to as "poppy" by the great-grandkids.
Maggie was quite the little mommy to Tyson. She was the same with Joe and Delaney, but now that they are mobile they don't really sit and let her cuddle on them anymore.
Ty looks a little concerned in this photo, but he seemed to love her as much as she adored him.

August

Well, I know it's been a while but we've had a CRAZY month! We kicked off August with a string of colds and random illnesses. Everyone is on the mend now, but it's seemed to take forever! I'll post some updates on the kids, and then move on to our visit from Lauren's family.
Delaney got this chair from a close family friend (I used to watch their Delaney) and she LOVES it. Unfortunately, so do her brother and sister so they fight over it often (we might need to get one for Joe because Delaney is getting pretty territorial).

Delaney has taken to hiding in odd places to play. She also gets stuck in these places.

Aunt Kate came home for a while (we hope she stays forever, but I'm sure she'll be moving on in a few months). The kids are happy to have her home...

...and apparently we are attempting to out-do the doublemint twins.

Joe is really into wearing a baseball cap. Kody usually has one on so we think that's where he gets it--it's pretty cute.

Katelyn's boyfriend, Ryan, came for a visit and Maggie was obsessed with him. She still "talks" to Ryan on her play phone.

We had fun getting to know Ryan a little better and hope he visits again soon!
