C-H-A-O-S ... Cousins are here!
So excited that my brother, Zach and his beautiful family are visiting. They live cross country so it is special treat when we get to see them.
We have spent the last few days with them and it has been so much fun. I finally got to meet my nephew, Caelum, who has born in January. He is seriously such a happy baby and is quite content. My other nephew, Owen is so funny. He has decided he isn't so fond of dogs which has made for some funny moments with our border collie and my parents 2 huge/ barking labs.
We went to the Botanical Gardens today (in the ridiculous heat) to take some cousin pictures. It turns out that Owen doesn't like to get his picture taken so though I didnt get any of him cheezin' it up, we captured him a couple times.
Caelum is amazed by Mantis.
Ashton didnt like Mantis' game of snapping turtle attack
Ashton has to copy "cool" Hunter
Mr. Owen looks quite serious
Ah, Shep... so cute
Caelum- This boy LOVES his tongue!
My amazing parents
Nolan and his "date" ha ha ha
The original "A" family.
Say a prayer for us as we are all going to attempt Carowinds tomorrow in this heat. :) The boys are super excited!
Turns out, the boys first initials spell... CHAOS- Here they are lined up in CHAOS order.

Birthday Party Fun
One of Hunter's best girlfriends had her 5 year old birthday party last night. As far as we know, Karson and Hunter should be in the same class next year. Karson is just a total sweetheart and we love her and her family dearly.
Her party was at her grandma's pool which was great with this record heat!
Here are some pictures
Shep and Ash in the little pool
Hunter and Ashton waiting patiently for me to help them.
Miss M getting ready for cake
Karson's little brother, Connor (so cute)
Jody (Karson and Connor's mom) giving Connor some luvins'
Karson, hope you had a Happy Birthday!
***Jessica- dont know how you escaped my camera, I was probably too busy talking to you- I will get you next time :)

It's Like a Heat Wave...
whew... this heat is a bit extreme and this is coming from the person who loves hot weather. However, when the boys dont want to even go outside to play, then I think the heat needs to dip... just a bit.
We resurrected the hippo pool. This series of pictures is just too cute not to share.

Shep didnt really want to jump in...
... so Hunter pulled him in.
