Our kids still don’t have any first cousins, but they sure do have tons & tons of second cousins! And it’s always wonderful to spend time with them.
The Dynamic Duo, AKA Nada Payne & Marisa Whitaker, drove from Tennessee to Utah with little Luke & Natalie in tow! Impressive! (Something I would never be woman enough to undertake.) Chase & Charlotte were in heaven playing with those two kids.
Pictured: Luke & Chase getting intense with the LEGO Star Wars video game in the family room.
Not pictured: Charlotte & Natalie getting intense with the princess dress-up in the office room.
Family Get-Together at Jim & Gretchen’s before Scott & Christina’s BYUI graduations (& Erica & Josh’s wedding). David Whitaker is a funny guy, just like all the men in this family!!
Speaking of funny guys…
And here are a bazillion photos of the family, for the record.
GG, Tyler, & Chase win the awards for craziest facial expressions in this next one!
Some adorable children. From left: Kyle, Joel, Chase, Caroline, Charlotte, Luke, & Natalie.
Kyle didn’t put his green sword down all evening.
Photo Op with Great Grandma Lipps. Charlotte really enjoys saying that name.
Later, in the backyard, I caught the kids in the act of being very cute. Chase gladly embraced his role as as Swingmaster/Eldest Great-Grandchild Present/Tough Guy.
