The Asay's Kids at Our House for a Week!

Tiff and Cam went on a cruise through Alaska, so we got to keep the Asay kids at our house for the week. It was such a blast, and so good to spend more time with those kids who we don't get to see nearly enough. Eden and Wren were like two peas in a pod and were so happy and giggly the whole time. They even made up their own language and would babble back and forth and giggle with each other for hours. They were so cute.  

Brody got to spend a couple nights down with the boys at the Harding house so that was nice for him to get around his buddies there. And Jade got to spend lots of time with her good friend Tatum who lives not too far from me. Bentley, Olivia and Cooper were my three amigos and we pretty much stayed right on top of each other the whole week. :)

Cooper and Olivia are just a month apart in age, so they were pretty close to the same schedule with naps, etc. which was nice, but I learned it would definitely be so busy to have twins! I noticed that in most the pictures, only one or the other is in them because the missing one was always off getting into something somewhere. They kept me on my toes for sure!

We had tons of fun though, playing in the water toys out back, park hopping, playing board games, the mall play place, and lots of other fun activities to keep everyone busy. I hope they had fun, because we sure enjoyed having them here!

Jade and Tatum decided they would do a spa day for the turtles. It was cute.
Grandma came up to visit and brought donuts. That was a huge hit of course.


I even loaded them all up and went down to grandma's on one of the days. They had a blast down there too of course.





One of the many shenanigans from these two.
Brad took some of the kids tadpole hunting which ended up being hugely successful. I think they counted around 40 tadpoles that they caught and brought home that day.


Without knowing it, they also ended up catching two of these incredibly creepy creatures. So weird. Eden accidentally picked one up out of the muddy bucket thinking she had grabbed a tadpole and she totally freaked out (not nearly as bad as I would have though!). Yuck!

Cotton candy!






Pizza at the park.



One of the days Cooper didn't take much of a nap so we were trying to find things to keep him busy until bed time. Obviously going on a walk was not a good idea because the cute little dude fell asleep sitting up in the wagon. ha!


Jade was so cute when she suggested manicures to the girls. They were so excited and requested "Frozen" nails like Elsa. Jade did a great job with two very picky customers. 

And Olivia got her cute little toes done too!
Overall it was such a great week and we are so grateful for the fun time we were able to have with our adorable cousins! We can't wait to have them again!

It was crazy town and crazy fun. We started a new game on Zelda, named after Brody, Brocko. We're still working on it!
