Can We Get Them All In One Picture?
Like I've said before, last weekend was the first time all five first cousins have been together. Each one of Josh's siblings have a child. We REALLY wanted to try and capture all the cousins on camera together if at all possible.
Isaac: Pssst. Hey, my mommy and daddy want to try and take some pictures, okay? (or maybe he just wanted her cracker?)
We've got three! Aveline, Isaac, and Isabella (Isaac looks less than thrilled, LOL)
Add Cheyanna to the mix!
The leftover spot was for Miss Rachel. But, she was not interested in pictures. So, Chey decided to come join the rest of the crew.
Here they are! Four first cousins! Cheyanna, Aveline, Isaac, and Isabella. Yes, I know... our little boy is just about as big as the 8 month old and 14 month old. At least he's not as big as 2 year old Izzy! LOL
Then, we got the brilliant idea of using the grandparents to hold those little buggers for a picture! Just LOOK at Isaac's pouty lip! Ha, ha!
Whew... next, we had all the siblings hold their kiddos. Not a single kid is looking at the camera, but look how well the adults did with their smiles! :)
Joel, Isaac, Dan, Heather, and Sarah
What the hay... add in the spouses (AKA "outlaws") Stepsis Kelly is there on the right. Her stepson Joel was unable to attend this year. :(
We added: Jamie, AJ, Kristi, Dave, Me, and Jon
Pretty cool pictures even if the babies didn't really cooperate all that well. I'm just glad we actually got them in some pictures! We had to act fast when they were all available at the same time (ie. no one was eating, getting their diaper changed, or taking a nap).

The pictures are great and would have been even greater had we had all of our grandchildren there! We will have to paste little Joel's picture into the group. Also--the one name you left out was your sister in law--Kelly when you added, AJ, Jon, and you to the picture! We have a wonderful family--and our greatest wish is for all to be remembered and included--always. As our sign in our kitchen says, "We may not have it all together--but together we have it all." We will be getting back to you with a time for a visit soon. Thanks for the pictures and thanks for coming and spending the day with us. Little Isaac is a doll and a real joy! We love him lots--along with you, too!
Oh dear, how do we erase what we just wrote!!! We are soooo sorry! We skimmed your blog and missed the paragraph before the picture. We have been sooo sensitive for so long about inclusion/lack of inclusion in our blended family and some things that have happened in the past that were hurtful that we jumped the gun on our comments here. We truly apologize and ask your forgiveness. We are eating humble pie here tonight. We certainly don't have it all together--do we?!!! Thanks for including all members of the family in your blog. Again, we are sorry for misreading the blog and jumping on you about it. We love you lots and are soooo imperfect and fragile at times. Grace. Grace. Grace we seek!
We had a great time and are so thankful we got the pictures we got.
We just uploaded ours and have 472 pictures to share. LOL.
