Cousins

Growing up as an Air Force daughter kept me away from my cousins most of my life. But I often hear people talking about their cousins... never really hit me how I missed out on the cousin train (the later years of my life) until I met and married Nat who has um-teen billion cousins and how he tells me stories about all that he did with his cousins. Its fun!! and I am soooo glad that my girls (kids) will have cousins to grow up with.... BOY cousins at that. They will be the big brothers that my girls will never have. I am so excited about their future and watching them all grow up together and doing fun things together. Luckily it just so happened that I got pregnant soon after Kinsey did with both girls. So they are all within 2 years of each other.

Cash and Madelynn are 7 months apart and they are just now, at the ages of 2 and 1.5 starting to play and have fun together. Their whole life, he has always been one step ahead of her... like he would sit up, she would still be layed out on her back. He would crawl, she would sit up... and so on and so on but it seems that they have finally met up. Its been a blast watching them actually play together... something that we have waited for forever.

Cash and Madelynn. From birth to today.

Jedd and Payton are 2 months apart so we are kinda experiencing the same thing with these 2. Jedd is crawling now, and Payton just started to sit up. So they'll eventually catch up to each other and then... it will be a mad house I am sure!!

Payton and Jedd.

and here is the 4 of 'em.

Thats a load 'o work right there!!! They're all getting so big and so beautiful. Cash is 2, Madelynn is 1.5, Jedd is 8 months and little Payton is 6 months.. and we are enjoyin every moment of this cousin business.

(please note the many shades of BRUISE on Madelynns poor head. Since her falling off the chair incident, she has had several more falling on her head incidents. Poor girl. She is just so dang clumsy.)

and here are a few outtakes:

Jedd and Pay doing the modeling thing

Jedd doing what Jedd does best.

That boy loves to eat!

its not an easy task I tell you.

I regret to inform you that I will (sadly) be doing this journey of a 3rd pregnancy all on my lonesome. :( I have tried to talk Kinsey into it... but unless some work of God occurs... It ain't gonna happen . So this poor little baby will not have a cousin match. Sorry poor little baby. (maybe that will convince her?????)
