Jake and cameron wrestling or playing "tap out"

I told you I was playing catchup on all of my blogging. Some of these happened a little bit ago.
Jake Smith came for Utah's spring break. They came in april. Cameron was so excited that he was coming. It reminded me of when our family would go to Utah for 4th of July. We did that, it seemed every summer. And it was something we all looked forward too. It was so much fun hanging out with cousins and just being goofy and sometimes gross! Jake's family came in april and were here for the week. Cameron and Jake spent as much time as they could together. It was a little hard because cameron was in school. And when you miss school at his school it's like missing an entire month. They wrestled, and swam, played baseball and hung out!
I am glad that my kids have had cousins so close that they can do things with them. It's fun to see. I am still very close with my cousin Jessica or Friend! We have tons of fun together and sometimes a little too much. So I am glad that my kids have cousins close to them. It makes for great memories! I have a lot of great memories with cousins.
Alright so I have to tell some of the things we did with cousins. We would always go to Utah for the 4th of July. Brendan and Jessica, lezlie, Jodi and me would see each other and instantly pick up where we stopped the year prior. It was sooooo much fun. I remember going to Yellowstone national park with them. We made booger bars (don't ask it's nasty), flung poo at each (another don't ask). We made forts this one time out of boxes and Jessica got ticked off at Brendan because he stole a marker of hers so she jumped out of her box and jumped on Brendan and JOdi's box and it was WAR!!!!! In the end both boxes or forts were ruined and we were busted! We went to lagoon and water parks we would watch the stadium of fire at tempview. It was such a great time. I have fond memories and so with that I hope that my kids will remember the fun times with cousins.
Me and friend still have fun! We do Taco Tuesday at filibertos every tuesday. We do girls night out when we can get away from life and busy schedules. We hit costco together and shop together (which probably isn't a good idea) we go to IKEA and try on baskets (I swear I thought it was a hat friend!!!) on our heads that is. We just have a great time. We laugh at dumb things, and really some of the things are goofy. I am glad that my parents took us every year to Utah so that I could have a best friend like friend. Cousins are awesome. And I am thankful for them. All of them.
