About Our Family

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." Romans 8:14-17

Fun with Cousins

A few weeks back, we were so fortunate to get to have Ashlyn's cousins over for a little weekend visit!  I have been meaning to do this post for a while, but I just couldn't do it without the pictures.  I can't describe how much I love these kids!   They are so incredibly special!  They are sweet, generous, kind, loving, beautiful, smart and absolutely wonderful!  Ashlyn had the BEST time having them at our house.  She was a little sad when she lost her playmates since they had to go home. :(  I hope we can do this again VERY soon!

As soon as we got home, they took to her room and even though all we have are "little kid toys" - they had a blast playing!

 We decided we wanted to do something fun for dinner - so we headed out to the bowling alley!  Shelby put her shoes on a little too quickly.  Notice anything wrong?
 We had pizza and chicken fingers, but no one paid too much attention to the food. :)
 This was the first time Ashlyn bowled and she thought is was the greatest ever!

 She granny rolled it...
 And we waited for it to reach the pins...
And waited some more...I don't even remember if she hit a single pin, but it was so funny to watch!  She kept getting mad that it wasn't her turn all the time.  Her sweet little cousins helped her so much and even let her bowl for them a few times.
After church on Sunday, we decided to go to Kobe Hibachi Grill.  They had never been to one and it's been a really long time since we have (at least since the tornado because we love Hokkaido and they are currently still rebuilding).  The kids all thought is was really cool (even Ashlyn who'll you'll notice is hanging onto her Daddy for dear life).
I got to practice having four kids for two days and about 3 hours in, I had a new respect for large families, and desperately needed a nap!  I can't describe how much fun I had!!!
