COUSINS!

Brinn, Carter, Luke, Tyler, Annamarie
Everyday the boys talk about their cousins. And they were BEYOND excited for "Cousin Luke" and "Cousin Brinn" to come visit. Amazing the memory of little ones. When they become fond of someone it just sticks. They hadn't seen Luke in a year but had never forgotten he's not just one of their best playmates- but one of their favorite people.

 And Their Off!!
Took no time at all to get the fun all started.  The first night Brian and Karen got here we had dinner at Gigi and Popi's with Nana.  

Two of my favorite men... Popi & Brian

Brian is definitely "That Uncle" and I mean that with love :)  He is rough and tough but so much fun.  Just getting in with the boys and having a wild time.  They adored him through all the torture and fun.

Everyone loves Gigi's desserts.
 The next day we went on a wonderful hike and up to Mike & Kylie's in White Salmon.  Fun fun fun.

Just a mess!
 A week and more fun later, it was time to say goodbye- but not after one last hurrah!  And a water balloon contest.
  

My partner Luke. Love him.

sweetest.

I thought Brinn was for sure getting that cookie snagged.
 
Loving Popi.  Truly funny.

We already miss you!
