Trip to my parents

Well the kids and I made a trip to Ohio a few weeks ago. Kassidy was a HUGE help feeding Karson bottles in the car and giving herself and Kaleb snacks and drinks along the way. We only stopped 1 time each way and made it there in only 10 hours! The kids did awesome in the car...I barely heard a peep out of them! Thank goodness for DVD players:) We had a SUPER fun time visiting my family. Both my sisters and my parents live there and 6 of my nieces and nephews. As always it went too fast and we miss everyone already!!! I have to warn you...there are alot of pics to follow, but we did so many fun things I just had to show you all:) Olivia and Maddie had their dance recital that weekend so they were very busy with that. Kassidy LOVED seeing the girls dance:) She kept asking why they weren't in every number though...too funny! Hopefully on our next trip Keith can come with us and we'll be able to see his side of the family too:)

Mama and Papa with the kiddos

Ryan and Kaleb loved the racetrack

This is Kaleb's favorite thing to do with Papa...play with the balls (pool balls that is!) He wouldn't stop asking to play until they finally did:)

Ryan and Kassidy busy helping Mama make pizzas (Kaleb was too busy playing pool balls to help)

The masterpiece...very yummy too!!!Mama's treat...popcorn!

Papa and Kaleb watching TV...well maybe only Papa watching!

The kids love these blocks...they are the same blocks my sisters and I played with when we were little:) Loved them back then, too!

TV time with Papa

Bath time:)

I won't say what Karson looks like in this picture, but I'm sure you're thinking the same thing:) It's actually a bath robe.
Ryan, Kassidy, and Kaleb on a bug hunt!

They actually found 3 bugs...look closelyThe boys sliding their way!

My sister Kristi's nice playset...it was actually very warm this day:)

Kassidy and Austin Kyle swinging

Kassidy, Karson, Olivia, Austin (crying), Ben, Kyle (in blue), Maddie, Kaleb (on floor) and Ryan (floor). I love that there's always 1 person crying when we try to get a pic of all the kid:) Usually it's Kaleb!

My sister Kaylin (Olivia, Maddie, Ben, and Kyle's mom) with KarsonOlivia-she's the oldest of the grandkids, I cannot believe she'll be 10 in August!!!

Maddie-7

Don't laugh too hard at this next pic...Kristi and I just had to show the kids how to use these!!! I'm suprised they could push us!

The kids just loved riding bikes (2 on L are Kristi's-Ryan and Austin)

I was shocked that Ben (5 1/2) could already ride a bike without training wheels...then learned he had been doing this for quite some time! Kaleb enjoyed running after him.

Austin-He just turned 1 in April but is already walking well. It was so cute watching him walk and follow his mommy around everywhere!

My sister Kristi

Kaleb and Ryan had SO much fun together!!! And Ben too when he was over:)

Of course my little mommy had to help feed Kyle...such a big girl:)

See what I mean about 1 kid always crying? Hilarious;)

Well, that's it for pics! Hope you enjoyed...I know we did:) THANKS again for a great trip mom and dad, Kristi, and Kaylin. Can't wait to see you again:) Miss you and love you SO much!!!!!
