The Weekend

  This weekend Daryl's brother Kyle flew into town triggering an improtutu family gather with Daryl's brothers and sister.  Saturday Karl brought Kyle over after picking him up at the airport. We wanted to get together with Ashley as well, so we had her and Thomas and Ayva come on over Sunday with everyone else.  It was a great weekend of family, food, and board games.  

All the boys on Saturday.  Kyle, Daryl, Luke, Karl, and a less then enthused Tyler.

I just really liked this picture of Harper with a giant bike helmet on.

Tyler wanted to help me pit cherries.  Also I understand now why my Dad always pitted them outside.

We remembered to get a cousin picture which of course Avery decided she needed to stick her tongue out during.  There's plastic on our stairs because we are renovating our upstairs bathroom.  Avery is holding Ayva, Tyler is holding on to Luke, Harper is by Tyler, and that leaves Miss Em sitting on her own. 

Ayva has changed so much since we saw her last.  She looks like she got a fabulous foil job on her hair.

Here are all the siblings.  Karl is on the top step, then Daryl, Kyle, and Ashley.

Ashley did a lot of posing for me and Emery tried to sneak into this picture.

Ayva is also into posing like her mother.

This was Saturday after the big kids had spent almost the entire evening out on their scooters.  Tyler took off his helmet and looked like he had spiked his hair with mousse.
