family antics

Cousins

September 17, 2014

Cousins August 2014-7

The end of August is filled with birthdays in my family. My dad & nephew share the same day, my set of twin nephews are a week later, and my sister’s is 2 days after that. It’s always such a busy, but fun time.

Price, Autumn, and I headed back to my hometown to be able to celebrate with everyone. We arrived on my dad & nephew’s birthday so there was some cake then & some more cake when we all got back together at my sister’s mom’s house the next day.

It’s so much fun to hang out but I really love watching all the cousins play together as they now range from 12-9 months. My niece Cara adores Autumn and is so gentle with her, even after Autumn grabs fists full of her hair. Ouch!

Price played with some baseball with the twins. Cara wanted to join in too so there was a bit of short distance, slow pitch to her which she did pretty well with.

dad visits-scrapbook page

November 21, 2009

When my dad was visting last weekend, I took a picture with of my dad using my Fuji Instax Camera. Of course we made fun of that monster but all kidding aside we loved getting to see that picture right then.

I used Stampin’ Up! Patterned and Solid Papers, embelishments, and foam dots. The title was created with the Street Sign Cricut Cartridge. Stamped ‘DAD’ was from 7gypsies.

Family puts the Fun in Dysfunction

August 23, 2009

My family is a cast of characters. when we get together things get a little crazy. My dad and oldest nephew’s birthday was on Saturday and we got together at the boat club for a BBQ. The weather was hot a gross so we stayed inside the main rec room while Michael, my brother in law, and my dad’s cousin manned the grills. Much appreciation for our great burgers, hot dogs, and sausages. Plus we had Greenwich Prime Meat’s (formerly Maneros) Gorgonzola Salad, which is one of my favorite things to eat.

Its really funny to see how much my brother TJ and sister Kristen are alike when we get together. We pick up on jokes, hand gestures, & laughs. Like my brother can hear a noise, which reminds him of a song, which I can get in about 4 seconds of him humming. Or when we and mention ‘ objects in mirror are closer then they appear’ and K&T’s mom says ‘like the dinosaurs!’ I knew she was talking about the 3 second bit in the first Jurassic Park movie.

So our time together is usually hectic with joking around, catching up on life, and patroling my three nephews running around. They were even more zany since it was Keagan’s 7th birthday and the twins, Grey and Cole, turn 6 on the 29th so there was some kid electricity in the air. Once I gave them their gifts things got worse with excitement and fighting. Price is just shocked that my sister can think through all of the noise.

Keagan playing with his hovercraft (horrible blurry action shot)

After dinner there was more playing  (chaos!) and running around until we sang Happy Birthday to everyone and they they got cake and patries so they were buzzing around on a sugar high.

Ready, Set, BLOW!!!! Love how Keagan had his collar popped the whole time.

In the end my sister and I were talking about another visit with the boys coming up to Boston. They were up last October so I think a year between visits is good. I think our apartment is finally clean from the sand, spilled juice, and general debris from their last visit 😛
