Reagan's Birthday

  Last week we spent a few days with my sister Nellie.  Daryl couldn't come because he had class, so I drove down with the kids and Ashlyn.  My parents also drove down with us in their car.  It was nice to help celebrate Reagan's third birthday.  My sister Alex and her husband Chris were also there for the birthday with their kids Mackenzie, Sam, Addison, and baby Hudson.  It was great to see them all.  Avery and Harper were very excited to see all their cousins.  We tend to think of Reagan as our missing link because she's right between Harper and Emery.  When Reagan is there to play with Emery gets to play more.  The rest of our time there we made the best of the very warm weather and went swimming every day.  My cousin Jennifer came over too.  It was so nice to see all this family we haven't seen in a while.

How many kids can we fit in Reagan's toddler bed.

Emery making herself at home.

I made it into a picture with Luke.  He wasn't quite sure how he felt about the water.  He started to splash around, but then he splashed himself in the face and he was done.

Avery wandered into the picture.

The quintessential Harper.

Baby Hudson is a year old, and I think he weighs the same as baby Logan.

Reagan is a big Minnie Mouse fan.

Emery loved the water.  She had little fear,  With the help of her little floaty she was swimming all over the place.  It was quite the job shadowing her.

Avery got roped into towing Harper and Reagan around on the floaty.
