Family

So this past week we have had lots of Alan's family in town. Alan's sister, Sharon drove out from Philadelphia, his brother Robert came from Georgia, Alison came from Pheonix, Mike came from Idaho, Danika and the girls also came from Idaho, and Emma and Norm from up north. I think when everyone was here we had a total of 41 people or something like that. The scariest part? That's only half of his family :) It is wild and crazy and loud, but so much fun and so much love all in one place. So here are some random pictures of some of the kids...for some reason all the pictures are just of the kids.
Here are Madison and Brookie. Brooke is Sharon's little girl and she loves playing with Madison.

The kids were so fun together. They loved playing with cousins. It was fun to see them all play together. This is Adrian, Cohen, Emma, and Dryden watching cartoons.
Madison and Caden playing together. They are such good buddies.
We had 4 babies under 10 months here this time. Caden, Madison, Leah, and Lexey. This is Leah and Madison. I didn't get a picture with Lexey, but she was so sweet too. It was kind of crazy with 4 babies, but when they are all bigger and can play together it will be so fun!
Ali and Matt's beautiful boys. Cohen, Caden, and Dryden.
Caden and Madison loved each other. They are both crawling so they would get to each other and get all intertwined, but just smile and laugh at each other. It was so fun to see them play.
With this many people and not much space we spent a lot of time at parks and splash pads playing. Which is really good because Madison loves being outside! Look how small she looks in that swing...haha.
We went to the lake on Tuesday and it was a good time until the wind picked up. This is like the only picture I got. Madison liked her floatie and the girls loved pushing her around in the water. That's Ashley, Madison, Abby, and me.

So that is a little bit about how our week has gone. It's so fun when everyone comes into town, it's a good time.

It is so much fun to see Brooky. I love that girl. All of those kids look cute. It looks sounds like you guys are having fun. I wish we could come out and visit some time. I had so much fun with Alan at the Lake a few years back. I would love to bring the whole family out and get together. Give my favorite niece a hug for me!

Fun times. It was good to see you guys. I'll email you some more pics. Look at Cohen in that pic of the kids watching tv - his skin doesn't look caucasian.
