Cuz Luv

Yesterday we got to go hang out with Gramma K, Aunt Kt, Cousin Ace, and Ian's new baby cousin. Maci is such a sweetheart and we love holding her every chance we get! It's hard to believe she is two months old now!

Cousins getting reacquainted.

They are such good buddies!

We went to Gramma K's community pool and had a blast. This little dude is fast!

Uncle James getting some snuggles with Maci.

Gramma K got the boys kickboards!

And rubber duckies that paddled their feet in the water!

Ace is a pro with the kickboard!

Haha...the spray park was so fun!

Ian had fun running through the different sprays.

Gramma K's pool/spray park has an awesome little pool that is only one foot deep. Perfect for our little guys to play in!

Maci took her first swim with Gramma K.

Mommy's girl!

Mommy love.

Whoaaa!

Maci's own little paradise. (Flotation support provided by Gramma K. Shade provided by Mommy and Aunt Laura.)

Gramma K got all the kiddos a towel. Ian loved relaxing on his!

Then Ian cuddled up with his towel and Ace's towel.

Sweet Maci trying the towel-covered Bumbo for the first time!

I love this next set of pictures. Although we've never really talked with Ian about how to act around little babies, he has seemed to inherently know that he has to be very careful with them. He doesn't try to touch Maci and if I am holding her, he will climb into my lap, being very careful to avoid getting on her. His hands behind his back say it all!

Hmmm...wonder what you do with these things?

I really don't think I should touch her.

Well, maybe just her knee. Aunt Kt said it was okay.

Seriously, what do you do with these little munchkins?

Haha...I'm looking forward to seeing how Ian interacts with Maci as she gets older. Hopefully he will be more gentle with her than he is with Ace!

Swimming wore our little boy out and he needed some Mommy snuggles.

Mommy wasn't going to complain! I heart Ian snuggles.

Aunt Kt feeding her beautiful baby girl.

Grandpa holding his great-granddaughter for the first time. Precious!

Big bro giving kisses!

Gramma K got kabobs organized and going on the grill...yummo!

Great-grandparents (again!).

Maci singing for Grandma. Grandma got her to fall asleep right away...I missed the picture though!

Ian and Ace had a blast playing with the big exercise ball.

Watching them cracked us up! They always have so much fun together!

Ian definitely loves his cousins! (And so do we!) We're so thankful for the times we get to spend with them!
