This past week Cole's 3 nephews came to visit. They have never been outside of Utah. So this was a real treat for them! Cole told the boys that if they would each cut their hair then they could come to Kansas for a week. And they did. So Cole met his dad in Denver to pick up the boys. We did lots of fun things and had a good time having them here. Cade loved having other boys around. One of his favorite things was to wake them up in the morning with the spray bottle. (They were a little unprepared for how early Cade wakes up!)
The day they drove out was Tristin's 9th birthday. (16 hours in the car on his birthday!) So we had cake and celebrated the next day.
Pillow fights
Reading to Cade
At the way awesome new City Pool
At our tiny Sunset Zoo.
Evening scripture study. Look at all those boys. Good thing I had Rylee around.
I made Gage and Tristin hold hands on the couch because they just couldn't keep their hands off each other ;) I had to get a picture so they are trying to look tough.
We made homemade pizza one night. Cole told everyone to look at the camera and smile like they were smiling at a cute girl-nice Gage.
Cole took them to a place called Pillsbury Crossing where they tried to catch frogs.

Not pictured is the one-on-one activities Cole did with each of them and the fun times they had at the Institute building. It is not really being used right now so they had the whole place to themselves. They played capture the flag, hide and seek, sardines, as well as some of the games there like ping pong and air hockey. They also experienced Blue Bell Ice Cream (because it is an experience) and loved it.
It was funny how having pre-teens aroundPo is so different than toddlers and infants. It was so nice on Sunday morning when trying to get all 5 kids ready-they could eat, dress and go to the bathroom all by themselves!
Amazing! They were great helpers in taking the trash out and helping out with things like that.
Thanks Hayden, Gage, and Tristin for spending the week with us!

wow-that is a household of boys! Looks like a fun-filled week. I love all the pictures!
Fun that they could visit and ya for cutting their hair! So Jenna, so it make you want to have that many boys? ;)
Thankyou so very much for having them for a visit!!! I absolutely loved hearing their stories and seeing the pictures. The funiest was when I was talking to them on the phone the night they arrived and having Gage and Tristin try to explain the humidity to me with sticky clothes, and how their skin was hotter than on the inside. I commend you, yet worried about how it was gonna be with these 3 who seemingly so can only ever maintain 2 of the 3 content at any given time. The pecking order that never ceases, love the hand holding! The boys absolutely loved being able to see their cousins, and think its neat how many states they can now say they've traveled maybe not too but through. Thank you again, we love you guys!
It does look like they all had a blast! Oh Jenna, your amazing- enough said! :)
