The Cousin's

Trying to get five children to smile at the camera is impossible!

Here are the three Browning boys. We just love them.

Charlie especially loves Colten.

Cousin'ing

I read that word in an kids article years ago and it has just stuck. Cousining--action verb--The act of playing/spending time with your cousins. I would have to say that is Charlie's favorite thing to do. Cousining--The act of playing with your cousins. At any particular time t cousining he cousins do not have to be similar or enjoy similar things to enjoy. I thought that was interesting. The article also talked about how it didn't matter how long goes between the time that two cousins see each other it is always instant friends for that moment in time even if they would not be friends if they were not cousins. We say two of the three Browning boys Wednesday Night. Brantley was so incredibly sweet with Cale. Cale was crying. Brantley crawls over to him and starts rubbing his head. He leaned down and slobbered on his head. (In baby language that is it's okay, how about a kiss.)
Now Charlie on the other hand, she and Gant wouldn't eat dinner. Who can be bothered with eating when there are grand adventures to go on? The two of them played out in the front yard for 3 1/2 hours. When I showed up after 2 1/2 hours Charlie told me to go home she wasn't ready to go yet. Now if that doesn't sound like a good dose of cousining I don't know what is.

Cale Reagan

Isn't he just beautiful! Yes, I called a boy beautiful!

Gant had his lizard at the hospital. Charlie didn't want anything to do with him.
Gant, the proud big brother!

Chester's Party Barn

We went to Chester's. Gant, Grandma, and Aunt Mistie (and baby) came with us. It wasn't as fun as last year. The corn maze was shorter and so was the slide. Can you tell Charlie had a great time? She loves that sandbox. Really all she needs to stay happy is a pile of dirt and a shovel and pail. I wonder if she will grow up to be someone who digs in the dirt?

Slip and Slide

So we went to Gant's birthday party. Dusty took the car and diaper bag to his parents so when it was time to get in the water Charlie didn't have her swim suit...so what does a 2 year old do? Borrow her cousins spiderman underwear of course. I know she won't be able to do this for very much longer but she sure does look cute. And of course she really wanted nothing to do with the slip and slide but Gant on the other hand... He sure loved it.
