Fun with Cousins Part 2

Looking back at all of these pictures of all the fun things that we did while we were together, I now understand why we were all so tired at the end of our visit.  :)  But we all really had a fantastic time, and I can hardly wait until our next visit...hopefully with my cousin Megan as well. :)
 Reading time!!!!  And looking at the boys, nap time probably followed :)
 Blocks!!! Toys good for all ages
 Jake really wanted on a puppet show for all of us with his hand made super hero cutouts.  (He loves to makes these and has made quite a selection so far)
 Dinner!!!  We wanted to introduce them to Rudy's BBQ...a fantastic place
 OK so this might not be a terrific picture, but its the only one I have with the 4 adults.  lol  Steph and I were both concentrating on getting pictures of the kids that we forgot (sorry Aunt Amy)
I think they are all happy :)
 "Cousin Jake, I want what you have"
 Jake absolutely adored his cousin Claire
 The boys and their garages
 Jake made sure that Claire was entertained as well :)
 Reading time!  12 days of Christmas in Oklahoma, a new classic :)
 Coloring time, a normal activity in our house.  :)
 Aunt Steph playing a letter game with the boys
 Love how all the kids are lined up to watch their cartoon
 We were missing the boys one afternoon...this is where I found them
 On one cold day we decided to bring the boys to Unpluggits
 They had a lot of fun in the pirate ship
 AJ running around and being a crazy man
 Claire found this tree house and loved it!!!
 Happy Caleb
 Getting these two boys to stay still long enough at the top of the slide was impossible, but this was the best I got :)
Boys will be boys
Painting was another fun activity they enjoyed there
AJ was in his "blue period"
A sandbox with cars is always a hit
Jake having fun with Claire
AJ, Caleb and Uncle Jason having fun building race cars at the Lego Store
AJ had received a Build a Bear gift card from a friend from his Birthday and so we decided to go so he could make his new buddy.  He picked out a really cute Superman Bear.
Handing him off to get filled
AJ was super excited to step on the pedal and see him fluff up.
Both AJ and Caleb put hearts into this bear, a very blessed little buddy.
Ahhhh, he is done!
And AJ is in love
Getting him all cleaned up
Both boys are good bath givers
Caleb did a fantastic job making his bear that he donated to Toys for Tots!!!
AJ decided to dress his bear in a Super Hero shirt with a cape...made sense :)
AJ making his bear a birth certificate
Then we hit the mall!  The guys went to see a movie and so Steph and I started training the boys for shopping.  :)  So many times Stephanie and I went shopping as kids with our moms, it was a lot of fun to take our kids out now.  Hopefully someday soon we can go out with our moms and our kids...look out world, it would be crazy :)
This is where I found AJ in a shoe store, he saw me and smiled and I thought it turned out as a fun picture
Jake entertaining his cousin while she was waiting for dinner
Jake and Aunt Stephanie looking at an old printed out blog book.  Having fun looking at pictures from the last time we were together.
My cousin Stephanie and I.  So blessed to have her in my life!
Thank you Stephanie, Jason, Caleb and Claire for coming to visit us!!!  We had a great time and we can hardly wait to see you guys next time!
