day four of sba

*ya'll ready for a buttload of pictures?!*

after the blessing we went back to the house for some lunch that bryan was nice enough to pick up for everyone.

finn & nathan snacking on some gold fish.
how cute is this! he idolized these two "big kids!"
tyler & cathi brought our kids books :) finn's reading chicka chick boom, with some attitude.
yummy mac n cheese for the kids.
isabelle watching the boys.


i loved the energy in this house the whole weekend.




jeff & maya, stephi & charlie... they are such good aunts & uncles!


after lunch doug & molly were heading out. they'd only been home for less than 24 hours before driving the 5 hours up to the bay thursday night. they'd just gotten back from vacation & then were delayed in minnesota because of the storms! i think they were very ready to veg out on their own couch.

before they left i requested our first group photo. :) this staircase won't be able to hold this whole gang one day!

steph wanted one with the three babes... finn wasn't too cooperative, while sweet charlie was all smiles!
i think this one is the cutest!

& then it was time to wrestle.

tackling cathi.

nathan helping his mama up.

finn loves playing chase. how crazy does this fall look?! he didn't stop laughing.
tyler got him!
time for hugs goodbye :(

finn had this slightly strange crush on molly. i think it's his first! he requested she read him books the night before but when she came down to do it he got shy & said "no mommy do it."
such a cute kid.


this is how prince charlie allows you to kiss him :)

the rarig's :)
poor maya's awful heat rash... it makes me so sad to look at it!
daddy fanning her.
we headed down to the beach for the breeze & cold water. daddy kept cooling her off.

luckily, i'd brought this little fan with us, so we took turns holding it over her... isabelle is such a sweetheart!
cat & her daughter addie came with us to the beach.


:)
adorable.


tehee.

sweet addie.
i think i've mentioned that we don't have a tv, so while finn was watching cat in the hat alone after everyone had left he would freak out & say uh-oh during the commercials! we watch dvd's on our computer... so it took a second for me to realize he didn't know what a commercial was.
aunt rae rae reading books.
what a great day!
