Vacay! Day 6

Tuesday, we decided to just lay low. We'd been having so much fun so we decided to just stay home and relax. Taysum gave us a bit of a scare in the morning, though. He said his knee hurt and he couldn't fully extend it; he couldn't even walk on it! We weren't even sure how he had injured it! We rubbed it, iced it, stretched it, and gave him some Tylenol. Eventually he was able to get around, but he was still limping a bit. I was thankful we didn't have to take him to the doctor! So, it was probably a good day to choose to rest, but we still had fun! Ken's cousin, Carly and her kids, Boston and Jocelyn, came to visit us. Carly and I have wanted to get our kids together for a long time because they are SO alike! I feel bad that she has to go through some of these struggles with her kids, but it is so comforting to know I'm not alone!! We've shared a lot of stories and I'm thankful for her example! I'm sure it's difficult for her, but I admire her attitude and how wonderful a mother she is to her kids and I hope I can be more like her!!

Visiting the Chickens Boston

This was our day to rest and Taysum took full advantage of it!
That evening, when Ken got back, we went to a birthday party! We went next door and celebrated Alicia's birthday. It was so fun to get the three babies together! Hayden looked SO HUGE next to the two little girls! I was kind of grateful that he was the boy...it might have been a little awkward being a big girl with two little boys on either side! ;) It was especially fun to see Hayden next to Lizzy, because they had the same birth weight; so we were able to see how much growth he's had in the past 2 1/2 months.

Lucy, Hayden and Elizabeth

This was the Dads' idea. Mark was a little punk and took a picture from behind as well...we'll have to burn his camera! This angle turned out pretty cute, though!

Momma and Lucy

And, of course, being at Uncle Mark's, our kids insisted on riding horses one last time! All the kids wanted to ride, so Uncle Mark solved the problem by getting out the buggy.

So, our vacation was coming to an end, but we made every moment count! We had to get one more picture of our smily little Hayden!
