The Ozecks come to Texas!

Laura and the kids came to visit us from October 7th to October 11th.  It was SO much fun having them here!  It was definitely busy with 5 kids under the age of 4 but everyone just had a blast!  Julia turned one month when they were here so their visit came at the perfect time since I hadn't really ventured out with all three kids yet (other than the occasional drop off to preschool) so having Laura there to help with the first few real outings was great and gave me the confidence boost that I needed. We got out and did something fun every day but we also had a lot of fun just playing and hanging out at home.
How cute is this picture!!  Love seeing all the toes in the middle seat!

On Wednesday we played at the park at Town Green, and then rode the trolley and had a picnic lunch.

It was a really warm day so we all huddled in close to get some shade while we ate lunch

On Wednesday afternoon we hit up Timarron park and splashpad

On Thursday we walked over to Tupelo Park to play all morning long.

 

On Friday we were planning on going to another splash pad but it started raining on the way so we made a quick change of plans, changed the kids in the car and ended up at the Children's museum.  Love having the museum just ten minutes from our house!  

On Saturday we were out of the house by 7:15 a.m. (we were pretty impressed with ourselves) to cheer Daddy and friends on at the Ten for Texas race.  Daddy had a great race and it was fun to see a lot of our friends running, too.

After the race we packed everyone up again and headed to Joseph's t-ball game-he was excited to have everyone cheering him on.

The rest of the pictures are just random ones from all of the fun that we had at home.  Joseph and Sydney played SO well the entire time together!  It was so great watching them together.  Ella had a bit of an issue sharing with everyone but other than that everyone got along so well.  It definitely seemed so quiet after they left.
And, this little cutie just hung out and watched all of the crazy chaos-soon enough she'll be joining them!

Lots of monkeys jumping on the bed!  When I first looked at this picture I actually thought it was Sydney, not Ella.

"More Aunt Laura, More!"

Joseph took a pciture of Julia and I watching them jump!

Sweet Julia taking a nap one day in the midst of all the chaos!

Soccer in their underwear!

Aunt Laura started a fun game of jumping off of the airbed and giving her high five.  They could have played this all day.

Thanks Nani for the matching outfit!

And, the boys!

They were all such great helpers with Julia.

Bathtime fun!

And, now the photo shoot begins...

Sweet sisters

Some love from Aunt Laura

I wish I knew what Joseph and Syd were talking about here!

We bribed them all with ice cream to get this last round of photos!

This idea for a picture sounded much better than it actually came out.  Lots of smiles but not really what we were looking for!

So thankful for these kiddos and are so thankful that despite the miles they are close and love spending time together.  

Thank you so much for coming!
