Cousin Time

A few weeks ago we were able to visit with my sister and her family.  All of the kids are close in age so it was fun to see them interact with each other.  It also gave me a glimpse of how it would be to have 2 kids.  It would be a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.  Here are a few pictures of our time with them.

 We went on a pretty hike in the mountains.  Here we are eating our PB & J sandwiches.

The whole crew

Rub a tub tub three cousins in the tub

This picture makes me laugh.  There was a big squishy plastic spider outside and Rob would touch it, throw it up in the air, and then start hopping around pretending it had bit him.  Jacob would laugh his head off each time and then started imitating Rob.  It was pretty entertaining to watch.

Unbirthday party with brownies in the shape of cars, trains, and planes.  

Jacob found a new love--doughnuts.  He was all over them and probably would've eaten the whole box if we had let him.

Strawberry picking.  This was another dream come true for Jacob.  Whenever we are grocery shopping he spots the strawberries.  I grab a box and have to feed him them until I can hide them from him and hopes he forgets them.  Usually that means finding another snack in my bag for him.  At the strawberry patch he was in heaven being surrounded by strawberries just waiting for him to pick them.  The problem was, he would just toss them in his mouth and swallow them as fast as he could (stem and all).  It was pretty funny, but we had to get him out of the patch before he got too sick from gobbling down too many.

Jacob loved playing with his cousins toys.  He loves cars and steering wheels.  I would run around the yard while he would turn the wheel.  In the picture below you can see how happy he was to be driving around.
