We had a fun and busy first week of August with the Ducote's visiting from Texas and Lindsay, Paul and Zoey from New York! They all planned to come out for a week but the Ducote's ended up staying in SD because they're moving here for a job relocation for Rich!!!!! :)
These pictures are all out of order which is kind of like the week - crazy but fun!
It wouldn't be a family reunion without matching jammies ;) Nani went all out with all of us being together!
We spent a lot of time swimming at Nani & Poppa's new pool
Cousin bath time - it is amazing how well they get along. They haven't seen each other since October and picked up like no time had passed. And they all play together SO well!
Crazy Syd Syd asked Aunt Lindsay to take her for a walk
Nani surprised us and told us we were having a little Christmas celebration since we weren't all going to be together in December.
Handing out some gifts
Matching jammies for the kiddos :)
Lots of entertainment during dinners trying to get these 4 to sit and eat!
Flowers in her hair for a beach day (she picked them and asked me to put them in)
Uncle Paul was the best and most patient sand castle builder. Joseph and Cole kept "smashing" the castles and he would just rebuild them.
Daddy and Sydney digging
They found a huge hole!
Nani and Poppa hosted an engagement party for Brian and Hollie
Cole taking a break from the party
Dessert kabobs!
We came inside from the party to find the girl cousins like this. Sydney and Cole LOVE holding "baby" Julia.
Brian and Hollie with both sets of parents
Blowing bubbles
Funny jammie picture
Lindsay welcoming Hollie into the family
Paul passing down the Game Over t-shirt (Rich got this shirt when he was engaged, passed it down to Dave who passed it down to Paul and now Bubba). Not sure what Brian will do with it... maybe save it for Joseph or Cole?!?
We ALL had a sleepver at Nani and Poppas after the engagement party because it was our last night with everyone all together. Nani and Poppa gave us their room and we tried several different sleeping arrangements... none which worked out so well. Needless to say, we were all exhausted come Sunday! Sydney woke up and went to snuggle with Lindsay and Paul who moved out to the pull-out couch on their last night.
Sitting on Lindsay and Paul's luggage trying to keep them in San Diego! Looks like Zoey dog is running from the door too :)
Family shot! What a fun week. Looking forward to April when we are all together again for Brian's wedding!!
