Fun with Landon and Wil

WOW! What a week we've had! My twin nephews, Landon and Wil have been visiting with us and we've been busy to say the least. We went to a magic show at the library (and got to see tarantulas and snakes- ick!), we went to a movie, we went to Kangaroo Jakes (they LOVED this!), we went swimming (Landon went down the waterslide 30 times- really!), we went to the park, and we had numerous picnics outside including cookies and ice cream for dessert most nights (thanks to Mimi)! We enjoyed spending July 4th with them, as well. It was an incredibly busy but fun week!

We only get to see them a few times a year, and those visits are always around holidays, sometimes for 2-3 days at a time. So, it was a real treat for all of us to get to spend this much time with them. Matthew and Sarah Beth were truly in heaven! They love their older cousins so very much. I am so thankful to have precious nephews who enjoy playing with my children, even though they're much older. They were so responsible with them when we'd be walking in parking lots or in crowded areas- they immediately grabbed their hands to hold them while we walked. Landon and Wil are 9 years old, and certainly into video games (one of which they recently got and were very anxious to play), but instead of playing their games, they spent time horseplaying with my two munchkins! They are so very thoughtful, and my kiddos felt very special and loved by their cousins. It is so nice to see young boys be so caring and loving. I still see them as those little 2 year olds with chubby cheeks- it's gone by so very fast, but I can honestly say that they are so respectful, responsible and loving boys, and I am so proud to be their aunt! Thank you, Landon and Wil, for a wonderful week of fun! We'll miss you, but can't wait to visit you in a few weeks!
