Hangin' out in Mt. Airy!

While Jeff, Mandy, Hannah and Tyson were here we spent some time at Mandy's Dad's (Ray) house. We had a lot of fun there. The first day we went there was memorial day, and was sweltering hot! We went to the park, played bumper pool and sat outside. The second time we went over there Ray had a bounce house/slide and a big blow up sports thing. Everyone brought food and Ray cooked up burgers, hotdogs and had crab to eat.


 Cohen loved  playing with this ball! (I will post the video shortly)
 
 Look at that excitement!

Playing with Aunty Mandy and Uncle Jeff!

 Playing with Payton

 Oops! Bonkin' him on the head! Cohen didn't even notice.


 About to go down the slide! Cohen, me and Tyson

 In the bouncer!

 OMG!

 Me and Cohen!

 Uncle Jeff gave Cohen horns...look closely!

 Jeff and Dan playing together :)


 Dan and Cohen

 Dan and Mandy ate crab....

 ...while Jeff and Tyson (and myself) ate hamburgers and hot dogs! :)


 This was at the baseball part of the sports thing. The little spout at the bottom had air coming out of it so it would lift the ball and you could hit it. Cohen just liked trying to catch the ball!


 And he liked just sitting over the spout and letting it blow air on himself! Haha


 Ray and Dan playing the beanbag game.

Hannah, Cohen and Tyson on the way back to our place.  (I told you that Tyson is usually looking at Cohen in the pictures!)

More to come!

Tyson!

My nephew, Tyson, is 9. He is the first cousin that Cohen ever met! He has lots of energy and is sometimes hard to keep up with. He thinks Cohen is pretty awesome and took time out if his busy days here to hold him, play with him. feed him and read him a story. Dan and him had fun playing video games together. They probably would have been up all night if I had let them! :) I had fun doing an obstacle course at the playground with him. Tyson seemed to love hanging out at our apartment with us and was even thought our ice cube trays were impressive!  He is an amazing kid who we all love to be around.

Checkin' out the view our place...

Playin' video games...

Almost every picture I have of him and Cohen he is looking at Cohen instead of the camera! :)


So Sweet!!!
Look at Tyson's awesome shark tooth necklace!


Feeding the sleepy little guy!

Tyson read Cohen his bedtime story. Cohen sat so nicely while Tyson read the story (a lot nicer then he sits when we read him stories!)

Cohen was listening so well to the story! Great job, Tyson!!

Playing together!


At the zoo!

Wooo! This kid has skills!  :)

Reading another story a different night. It was going well until...


 Cohen spit up on Tyson! Pretty funny, but Tyson was done reading to Cohen after that!

Goodnight hugs!

 Thanks for hangin' out with us, helping with Cohen and playing video games with Dan! 
We love you, Tyson, and miss you lots!

Love, 
Dan, Katie and Cohen




Hannah!

My niece, Hannah, is 12. She is an amazing person who I love so much. She is kind, caring, loving and absolutely hilarious! We had so much fun with her when she was here visiting. Hannah truly loves and adores Cohen. She always wanted to hold him and be with him. Even if he was fussy. She fed him every chance she could and even changed a diaper. I cannot believe how grown up she is. I miss her so much and was so happy to see her again! Here are some pictures of her and Cohen.



Changing his diaper (assessing the situation first!)


So Sweet!

Lookin' cool in their shades

She even carried him in the baby carrier at the zoo!

In the bounce house at Grandpa Ray's get together

Having so much fun!

Get her, Cohen!

Lovin' on her!


Well, hey there!



Can't you just see her love for Cohen shine through in these pictures!? He had so much fun with her! 
Thank you, Hannah for all your help. We loved having  you here!

Love, 
Katie, Dan and Cohen

Visitors!!

Last week we had visitors! Jeff, Mandy, Hannah and Tyson came to visit. We had so much fun together, and I have lots of pictures to share! They came to our apartment on Thursday to hang out. Then they went to the beach for the weekend. On Monday, we went to Mandy's Dad's house, which is about 45 minutes away, and had dinner and just hung out. Then they came back to our place on Tuesday night, they went to DC in the sweltering heat on Wednesday, hung out with us Wednesday night and then we went to the zoo and a few other places on Thursday! Then on Saturday, we drove to Mandy's Dad's again for a little get together, brought Hannah and Tyson back with us to spend the night and then brought them back on Sunday. Got it?! It was so busy but so much fun! :) I'm tying to figure out how to post all the pictures...I think it will be easiest if I do several different posts....so GET READY!
