Cousins

I guess I should say "cousin", singular, because my girls only have one!  And we love her!  Fortunately she is about 15 months younger than Katelyn and 8 months older than Whitney, perfect.  Obviously the girls had a lot of fun playing together!  ANd the good news is that she is moving from Boston to California in a couple of months, so we'll be seeing her more often.  Yay! 

Whitney and Natalie becoming friends

Whitney, Katelyn, and Natalie!

Natalie and Katelyn in their matching dresses made by their great-grandmom, unfortunately Whitney had just thrown up on hers and we never got a picture of all three.
everyone was amazed at how much pasta my girls can shove down.  It is pretty amazing!  THis is Kate with her 3rd empty plate and Whitney chowing.
We had great times on the trampoline, and the weather was just beautiful.  Spring is the BEST time to be in Madera!
Natalie loves to "hop"
Kate and Natalie trying out my dad's tractor.

Jonathan kept doing this and Whitney LOVED looking at him through the tramp.  
in our matching pj's
Derek and Jonathan both read to Katelyn several times, and everyone else did too.  She just loves books.
Jenae and Katelyn, best buddies.  Picture taken by Melissa, official awesome photographer.  She took all the pictures, that's why I don't have one of her with the girls, sorry!

Also Katelyn had a blast with all her aunts and uncles and Grammy and Grandpa Jamie!  Whitney is still pretty afraid of people, and she also got sick which made her more clingy.  She really liked Allison and Natalie though, and everyone made her smile a ton.  As long as they didn't touch her and I was close by. :)
