So, all but one of these kids is within 4 months of each other, and all are cousins. The miracle, you may ask yourself... this picture has been in the attempt for 2 years! Is there anyone screaming...no! That is the miracle. For two years we have attempted to take a picture with all the kids and EVERY time someone (mainly Joel) is screaming. Well, not this time. All kids are happy. Now, that is a miracle! We went over to Mike's aunt and uncles house for a cousin get together a little while... I mean a couple weeks... ago and had a wonderful time. There are a bunch of old toy trucks and tractors that entertained Joel for a good hour.We are obsessed tractors right now, and Bob the Builder has been moved to the top favoritest TV show for Joel. Thankfully there are multiple episodes and good ol' Netflix has at least 20 different shows that you can watch instantly. So, I don't have to go crazy watching the same one over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. You get the idea! So, here we have Joel playing with the tractors and me playing with the camera!
Oh, and more tractors!
What else will keep a little boys (and girls, as proven here) attention... Rocks!
Here is Joel and his cousin who was born on the same day as him.
And more rocks!
And to tack on to the end. I found this rain coat at a garage sale last year thinking I had a couple years before we could use it (its a 3T), well, good thing I checked, because we now wear 3t clothes so we got to pull it out during one of our lastest rainstorms (I will take the rain anyday over the snow we had last week! Seriously - its May!) But it was just so cute! So I made Joel go play out in the rain so I could take his picture, although he didn't seem to mind ;)!
So, here is to some sunny weather... PLEASE!

What a cute picture. I want a rain coat for my kids. There is just something so adorable about a kid in a raincoat.
Oh and Happy Mothers Day!
That rain coat on Joel is too cute! Great job finding it at a yard sale!! And the top picture with all the cuzzies happy and sitting still-is PRICELESS! I have a hard time getting two to smile so I can't imagine dealing with more than that. :) What a fun memory! They're all going to enjoy looking back on that someday!!
Hope you had a Memorable Mother's Day! It was the first one ever being a Momma of two (for both of us)!! :) Cheers to Motherhood!!!! xoxo
Sorry Angie! I was logged into the Class Reunion blog I just put together and didn't notice that fast enough! Anyway...it's me Nickie---you're old Roomie! :)
It's so hard to get a picture of a bunch of kids!! We try to do a picture for my mom every year for Mother's day and it just gets harder and harder with all the kids we keep making!
