A Full House

We had a full house last weekend when the Leonards came down to stay with us for two nights. Finally we were able to get all 9 (wow!) of us together! They came on Friday night and stayed until Sunday. We packed in Disney on Ice, Ikea, lots of running and playing in the basement and of course plenty of time for us adults to catch up and relax. We were so excited to have them for the weekend however....par for the course, someone had to get sick...although this time it actually wasn't one of the kids. Ben spent much of the day not feeling well on Saturday and much of the night upstairs in bed. Such a bummer that we didn't get more time with him but we're thankful none of us seemed to get what he had. The weekend was full of craziness from the kids--we'd often find ourselves surrounded by 4 kids laughing...then 4 kids crying...2 kids nursing...3 kids napping...and finally, 5 kids in bed!! It was tons of fun to have them here and we can't wait for the next time. Thanks for making the trip....and glad Ben is feeling better!

Disney on Ice....the kids LOVED it...the adults thought it was "different."

The Leonard ladies.

I asked him to look at me and say cheese, he was so entranced, he wouldn't even take his eyes of the stage and just responded, "no, mama."

Harris ladies.

Taylor's favorite part - the REAL princesses.

Each kid got to pick their own treat....there was no talking them into something else when they made their selection. Lucky us.

Wanted to be just like his big sister.

Yeah, his treat was attached to a bag of cotton candy.

Zach & Ben loving the show.

The whole Leonard clan.

Our family (as you can see both Lauren and Sydney were snoozing away).

Tay's construction worker ensemble.

The boys played golf together...and other games commonly known as throw things and hit things.

Taylor loved Gavin's bike game although I don't know how she could see it over Gavin's head being 1 foot from the tv.

Our two little babies...10 weeks apart and ironically, only 10 ounces apart as well.

4 very meaty thighs.

The 5 kids...you can see how happy Syd and Lauren are about having this picture taken.
