Our summer trip began with a 10 hour drive to Stillwater, Oklahoma to spend some time with Paula and Chad. We drove all night and arrived there around 10am. The kids all had a great time catching up with their cousins.

Jordan and Nate hung out so well together and had a lot of fun with each other. They played the Wii, they took care of the goats, they played the piano, etc.

Morgan and Kellee had a great time playing dress up, with slips, belts, hats, etc. They were both so sad when it was time to leave.

The Wii was the big hit of the week, with everyone taking turns playing against each other. The day it was broken you'd think it was the end of the world. But, Marty fixed it and all was well.

We loved loving and cuddling Kordale. He was a little stressed over all of the craziness with so many loud, obnoxious kids, but Aunt Shi-Shi loved just holding him and getting her baby fix. Marshel thought it was AWESOME!

Morgan and Kellee know how to make a mess, that's for sure. Whether it was sitting on the counter eating the chocolate frosting straight from the can, playing in the lake sliding down the mud hill filling their swimsuits, creating a mud pile in the front yard while also "cleaning" Aunt Shi-Shis car with mud, etc. They had a great time together.

We also enjoyed our fieldtrip to Uncle Chad's school. We saw a horse getting his teeth fixed; a really happy Stallion; a dog getting a check-up; an alpaca waiting for the doctor and several other animals. We tried locking the kids in a stall, but Kellee's had the most worried look on his face, so we got them out.

I caught this video of the boys playing on the trampoline. It's a bit fuzzy b/c I was taking the video through the window screen. Aren't they all so cute? It's nice to see them having fun.
