Backing up: Father's Day

Back in June, Mike and I found ourselves out in Colorado for Father's Day weekend. It was a bunch of chaotic events that ended up working out to where we were able to spend the weekend with Mike's entire family...including all siblings and their spouses (who live in 4 different states I might add).

I was in Denver for a month working on a project. As it turns out, during the same time, Mike had to be in Washington DC for a week for work. Against Cavin's wishes, we decided he was not fit to be babysat for a week by Sandy, so Mike came out for the weekend to visit and drop him off with Cavin's two sets of grandparents to be watched while I worked. The next weekend, I flew Cavin home. That's our side of the story. I have no idea how all of his siblings and spouses ended up there the same weekend too...I was just excited to see them.

And of course, the FOUR boy members of Team Cousin were ecstatic to hang out for the first time since Jameson joined the clan!

At first, Hunter was picking on Cavin. He poked him in the ear after stealing his sippy cup.

He stole the ball and his CD player (Cavin's favorite toy) away from him:

And when Cavin tried to reason with him, he still couldn't get his sippy cup back!

It was touch and go with those two at first....that is until they joined together as a team to conspire against little Jameson:

Eventually, Cavin got tired of the mind games and decided to 'cheer' on the big boys while they played some real games!

Meanwhile, Hunter, Jameson, and James posed for the camera.

After all the fun outside, it was time for the boys' bath!

And a little nap for Jameson...

The next morning, the boys got some quality time with their aunts and uncles!

And we all enjoyed a Father's Day brunch together.

After brunch, the clan headed to the park where they played, ate, and hung with Grandma and Grandma Spruiell!

Auntie Amy and Uncle Bryan goofed around...

...while Cavin climbed into mommy's lap because he was so tired (the look I have was for Mike b/c of something he said)...

It was a long, yet fun-filled weekend full of lots of family time. I'm glad we were able to turn the chaos into quality time with the Colorado crew!
