Mommy, Tessa!

Yesterday I got to watch my adorable niece and nephew while Tiff and Paul were moving.  I had so much fun having them over.  It is always fun to have kids without their parents.  Rockwell kept talking to me and Tessa wanted me to hold her.

Hallee was so excited to have Tessa over.  She kept hugging her.  I finally had to tell her to stop hugging Tessa and just let her play.  Hallee kept telling Tessa to follow her or she would give her toys.  It was really cute to watch.

I was surprised at how much they played together.  They sat and played together in Hallee's room for a while and then they had fun clearing out the toy box and playing with all the toys. 

The boys were so excited to play outside.  They played bumper cars while I got the girls down for a nap.  Amarie was over so her and Caitlyn were off playing all day.  I went outside and played with water with the boys while Hallee and Tessa napped. 

These boys were so hot, they had sweat dripping down their hair, but that didn't stop them from wanting to play outside all day.  I did make them come in the cool house for a little while. 

I pulled out some water balloons to make it more fun for Jonah.  The boys had a blast throwing them. 

Jonah told Wyatt and Rockwell that they should all throw their balloons at me.  I was fine with it because I was so hot and the cold water felt great. 

The boys thought it was hilarious to make these tiny water balloons.

Jonah told the boys to try and get him wet.  It was so funny to watch Rockwell and Wyatt chase Jonah.  Jonah is really good with little kids (especially if they aren't his siblings) and he had them laughing like crazy.  I was surprised how easy it was to have the two extra little ones.  Everyone was happy and playing most of the time.  The only hard things were getting them all loaded in the car (it took 20 minutes to get them all in the car for track) and dinner time.  The kids were really good at track too.  We found a shady spot and the kids had a snack and gathered pine cones.  When we got there Rockwell looked around and said, "Oh, this is nice."   I love spending time with my nieces and nephews, being an aunt is fun! 

I have to add this picture of Caitlyn sleeping.  I love sleeping pictures of my kids.  She is growing up so fast, but she still looks like my sweet, little baby when she sleeps!
