Cousins

We have babies running out of our ears! On Garet's families' side Carson is one of four cousins and the new baby will make 5. Now most people would say that's not that many...by the time the next one is born they will all be under the age of 3! I'm really contemplating whether or not we should video the up-coming holiday events because at the time we will probably be very frustrated, but a few years down the road we will think they are hilarious.

Here is a picture of the four Black family babies. Blake is the oldest born in January of 09, next is Carson July of 09' then the twinkies Ethan and Elynn born in April of 2010. I'm sure we will take another group picture with new baby included over Christmas time.

Then on my side of the family we have, or are going to have 2 boys and my sister has 2 girls. Oldest is Avery who I can't beleive is 6 and a half, going into the 1st grade, and drop dead gourgous. When I say we are going to have to beat guys off with a stick I'm not joking...her daddy, step daddy, and uncles will all own suitable sticks to keep the boys away. My sister's other daughter is sweet Dakota who just turned 1 in July and she is the energy of the group. She will have no problem keeping up with the boys because she is already riding four wheelers and climbing all over things.

This picture of the girls is on the lake! We love boating with both sides of the family and we are starting the kids early.

The reason why I decided to blog about all of Carson's cousins was because he adores all of them. Avery might be his first girl crush. He follows her everywhere and almost cops a feel on her hiney when giving good bye hugs. Blake and Carson are the closet in age and they are defiantly best buddies. They ask for each other all the time and their little faces light up when they see each other. Carson hasn't gotten too many chances to play with the twins but recently at the lake he loved that they were both moving more and defiantly rocked out to some Mickey mouse with them. The twins are two names that are always mentioned during prayer time too! Then Dakota is his littlest cousin friend but most active. Dakota and Carson find any trouble they can manage. They love climbing on toys, couches, anything they can get their legs on and they are four wheeling cruising buddies.

It will be interesting to add another cousin into the mix and have that baby establish a special bond with each and every cousin like Carson has.
