Part - 2 the cousins.

Installment number 2!

A couple of weeks ago, Sharlene and the kids came out to Alberta for visit. They made a special visit up to Edmonton to play for the day. Here we feature the 2 newest members of the Harker clan.

 Milo and Sylas seem to be getting along just great for having just met.  :)

 Such good friends already.

 We all went and met up with Benson's school to play at the park. Here are the girls hanging out on the tire swing. They sure had fun at the park.

 Having fun with the cousins.

 Our happy little man. He is such a joy. He has started to giggle, and it is so cute. He really is a special little guy.

 Naomi loves water. In the last post I showed her "helping" with the dishes. I came up with the idea to just let her play in a bucket of water on a towel on the floor. She had a hoot!!! Until...

 She dumped it all over herself. So sad!!

 Such a happy little guy.

 He loves the water sooooo much. Here he is enjoying bath time. We knew he enjoyed the water, so we took swimming for the first time a few weeks ago. Wow... another water baby. He was happy for a good hour and half in the water.

 So Sharlene invited us to go down to Red Deer to her parents house for the day. Chelsea and I packed all the kids into one van and headed down. Jacqui packed her kids up from Calgary and joined us as well. We had a blast. Swimming, food, sun and fun. 

Here is McKay enjoying his cookie, with a chunk of chocolate stuck to his tooth. Cute.

 She really loves the trampoline

 All 11 (12, with Chelsea's belly) grandkids. It was a madhouse!!!

 Grandkids round 2

And the last round, those born after mom and dad left for their mission. Including baby Taylor in Chelsea's belly.

 A fun time was had by all. We had some pretty tired kids by the end of the day. This was just a taste of what we will have to deal with come Christmas when everyone is together. All i can say is that it will be different with spouses, grandparents and great grandparents around to help referee and control the madness.
