A Weekend Visit From the Heart Stealers

This weekend the Cozzens boys, Porter, Bridger and Kyle came to visit, and they brought their Cozzens Mom, Michelle. These guys have had such a busy year finishing college degrees, moving, finding new jobs, they haven't had much spare time in which to visit. We were SO happy they got to come this weekend. Hi Porter :)

Hi Bridger :) Isn't that the cutest smile you ever saw?

Porter played with us in the leaves. He liked getting buried in the big pile we made with our feet.
But he didn't care so much for the leaves falling on his face and the possibility of them poking him in they eye. I tried to get a picture of him with his eyes open. I kept saying, "Open your eyes, Porter!!" But he wasn't taking any chances.

I tried to get a cute picture with them, but Bridger wasn't thrilled. His Dad drug him off the bridge to take a picture. And Bridger LOVES the bridge. He was named after it, you see :) Bridge -er. Get it :) And Porter was still a little leary of those poky leaves and what they might do to his eyes.

Here's the evidence. Bridger on the bridge - er :) And his Dad chasing him off : 0

Hi Porter. You are such a handsome four year old. I knew you would be. From the minute I saw that cute head of red hair I thought, "He's going to steal hearts, that kid." And he has stolen mine. He and Bridger. But Bridger couldn't stop for another picture. So you can check out handsome Cozzens boy number two above. Heart stealers, both.

What I Did On My Grandma Vacation

Between running around after Capri, playing Donkey Kong, making waffles and walking Toby, I did take some pictures last week while I was playing full time Gram (which is Aiden's new nickname for me - and sometimes Chase's, too :) Here are some of the favorite.

Capri texting on Grandpa's phone. She knew just what she was doing, too. What an 18 month old teenager!Aiden putting on his Jedi moves.

Here Aiden is helping me make noodles AND watching 17 Miracles, both at the same time. Talent, I say.I fell head over heels in love with this face. It's a sweetness that just melts your heart. And Jill thought I'd get tired of her little girl drama . . .

Aiden had to dress like an alien for school on Friday. So here I was, back to thinking up and making costumes. He makes a pretty cute alien, although he wouldn't smile because he said he was a mean alien :)

These two have a lot of fun together. Aiden teases Capri unmercifully and Capri loves Aiden's attention in any form, teasing or not. So it works out well for everyone!

A bad picture of a cute moment. Sorry, my white balance was set for outside, but here's another shot of Aiden and Capri playing together. I so loved watching them together!

Here Capri was trying to wear Aiden's shirt. So cute!

What a special little pair who came together in a most unlikely way. I'm so glad God chose to place them in OUR family.
