Day 1

My amazing older sister Amy has been married for over 6 years. She has a loving husband and three beautiful boys, Andrew age 5, Landon age 3, and Trevor age 11 1/2 months. In those 6+ she has NEVER taken a day off. Ok...maybe a day, but she has never left the kids overnight for any reason besides being in the hospital to have more babies! :) Aaron, my brother in law, has a medical convention in Las Vegas this weekend...no kids invited! So today I met my sister in Salt Lake, loaded all 5 car seats into my car (thank Heaven I have a huge gas guzzler!) and brought the kids to my house for a few days! How fun! The night started out so fun. The cousins all played and ran around the house, laughed, sang, and had a super good time together! (they don't see eachother often enough) As the evening wore on, the overwhelming appearance of exhaustion took over, but going to bed was still pretty easy, and I have survived the first day. We'll see how everyone sleeps...so far so good! :) It was a pretty crazy night though too...Kassi and Tyler both experienced some "firsts"...


Trevor, Landon, Tyler, and Andrew...all 4 boy cousins! So cute....poor (spoiled) Kassi :)
Trevor LOVED my tupperware...

The babies had so much fun pushing it all over my house (don't look at my ungly kitchen floor! can you say new flooring w/ tax returns?!)

Cute, cute cute!!!


Ok...so Kassi has helped me make those sugar cookies that you just have to put on the pan and bake. She has fun doing it! I let her help me tonight...and yeah....she decided she likes cookie dough! Out of the 9 she put on the pan she took bites out of 7!! I think she will need a little more supervision from now on! :)

Remember how I said Tyler being a monkey was very appropriate? Yes, he is sitting on top of Kassi's table. He can climb up there FAST too. I turn my back for a second and there he is! I thought that was bad enough, but then...
Little stinker! I thought this pic was pretty funny cause it looks like he's singing on a stage. Boys... :)
So we made it through the first day...I will be sure to post about tomorrow as well....goodnight!

You sound like you are surviving. What a sis to take on all of those kids. You are definitely playing a zone defense. Good luck!

How fun. Sounds crazy but you can do it. How did volleyball go? I love the story about Cassie and the cookies. Very humorous!
