Kate eating breakfast and watching cartoons for the first time (seriously, she just has little to no interest in the tv... which I'm not complaining about!)
Parker and Chloe
Taking baths... getting ready for family pictures... Kate, Chloe, Jackson, Maddie (we put them in age order, but obviously not in order of size)
Poor Jackson just has that awesome German skin... he will either be like me and learn to just avoid the sun OR learn to use sunscreen
Grandpa and Chloe taking a snooze
Parker and Mike trying to figure out how to play a new game on Wii
Prince Jackson and Princess Maddie
Princess Kate
Kate and Maddie all dressed up... thank you Auntie Heather for playing with them and entertaining them! You're the best!
Miles and Jackson at the park
Maddie running around the slide for another "go"
Jackson on the swing... I'm pretty sure he had Grandpa push him on the swing for at least 20 minutes. When Grandpa asked if he wanted to get off or was tired yet, he would politely respond, "nope, not yet."
Miles trying out the swings too
Jackson again...
and again
Miles showing off his gymnastic skills
Miles heading up the ladder to the slide
Parker showing the toddlers how to roll down the grassy hill
Maddie and Miles taking a lesson from Parker (rolling straight isn't as easy as it looks)
Parker was a little dizzy... realizing he isn't as young as he once was (and only 25! yikes!)
Grandpa "helping" Miles across the monkey bars... I think his arms got a bit of a workout because Miles would randomly let go... kind of funny to watch
Lamar and Miles
Grandpa giving the toddlers a "horsey ride"... Maddie, Jackson, Miles
Parker and Kate just relaxing (Kate had just woken up from her nappy)
Maddie and Jackson still at it!
Decorating sugar cookies... Lamar was helping Miles, who was a pretty good little taste tester. He (Miles) would spread a little on his cookie, then put a little in his mouth and repeat the process over and over.
Miles and Jackson... as you can see the other kids were good taste testers too!
Miles and Jackson working hard to make their Jack-o-lanterns look (and taste) great!
Sarah trying to capture the moments as well... Christian was busy working on a pumpkin cookie of his own (much cleaner about it than the little kids... amazing what 7 years will do for you!)
Miles still enjoying that frosting
Jackson... decorating sugar cookies (and eating the frosting) is very serious business
Maddie carefully working on her cookie
And now... the sprinkles come out! The fun really begins!
Maddie with sprinkles
Jackson with sprinkles (and permission to eat his cookie)
Heather and Kate... Kate was attached to Heather. She would find Heather and then put her arms up to be held constantly. I'm sure Heather got a workout over these few days!
Nico and Grandpa (Larry)
Larry, Miles and Jackson "working" on their cookies
Finished product! Good job, Grandpa!! (Maddie noticed that Grandpa decorated his cookie upside down and was sure to point that out.)
Heather joined the kids as well
In defense of Christian (as explanation), he ducks from the camera when he notices me taking one in his direction, so I have to surprise him. He was doing such a good job decorating; I just couldn't resist capturing the moment...
Grandma and Nico (asleep again... don't you just LOVE that newborn stage!)
Nicholas has his own little look, but definitely looks like Miles' brother!
Kate must have been searching for a specific toy... I snapped this too late (as she was on her way back out), but when I first caught her, only her legs were sticking out of the cupboard.
