Jenna's Visit

Over Easter weekend, my twin sister was able to come visit!  She lives in Kansas and so we really don't see each other that often.  We had been planning this visit for months and so I'm so glad we  finally made it happen!  She and her two kids stayed with us for a week and we were able to do a lot with them here.  Austin loved having some quality cousin time too.  He literally followed Cade around the whole week and did whatever he did.  He was like Cade's shadow the entire week.  Here was our week in pictures:

We do an art class with some friends and this week was at our house.  Cade is only 18 months older than Austin but he was definitely far advanced in all the fine moter skills we did. It was fun to see him actually make the intended projects whereas Austin just likes to play around with the glue stick! And I love how he likes to write his name on everything.

At the Easter festival at Matthew's school.  Once again, Austin was terrified of the Easter Bunny.

 Our good friend Melissa! We were all roommates in college and now Melissa's husband and mine happen to be going to the same medical school and live right next to each other.  So it was fun for Jenna to spend time with Melissa too.

 Jenna got in some good Kensley time!

While kids were sleeping we watched lots of Downton Abbey and made matching maxi skirts!  It was so very fun to work on a project together.

 We do a little preschool with some friends and this week was also at my house so here we were all playing doctor with all of Austin's "sick" stuffed animals.  They all loved it!

Dying Easter eggs. We actually did this Monday morning since we ran out of time on Easter Sunday.  They really got the hang of it and all did a great job.
 

We went to the Children's museum in Phoenix and the kids just loved it.  Here, Austin and Cade were running through the noodle forest!  We all had a blast there.

 Melissa and Madison came with us to the Museum. Here we all are doing a craft in the art room.

 Austin and Cade watching their favorite movie: Cars

 Playing trains together.   They really played so well together all week long.

We walked up to Matthew's campus for a music class and then stopped for a ride on this swing.  Cute Cousins.

Twins with girls!

Playing at the pool.  Austin literally did anything Cade did. It was pretty cute to watch.

I'm so glad they were all able to come!  We had such a good time and the week flew by so quick!  I already want to get together again.
