Meeting Uncle Joe

On Feb 11th, Uncle Joe and crew came to Kansas! Uncle Joe just got back from Iraq a few weeks ago and is transfering from Ft. Hood, TX to Ft. Riley, KS in May! We are all very excited because he, Dorrie and Airen will only be 2 hrs away from us! They went to Junction City, KS to buy a house and then came to Gardner to visit us! All the Grandparents from Mexico, Mo came to visit too!

Left to Right: Grandma Barb, Grandpa Jim, Cousin Airen, Uncle Joe, Aunt Dorrie, Nana, Sunny, Daddy, Mommy and Pee Paw.

Mommy with her nephew Airen and daughter Sunny.



Isn't this pic cute? I believe Airen is telling everyone to wait just a minute.



Joe and Airen do this neat little trick! Joe balances Airen in the palm of his hand! Airen loves this and it's to watch. See the video below as well.





Aunt Dorrie made these cute little bibs for the cousins! Thanks Dorrie!!!!

Grandpa Jim reading to Sunny.

Sunny has a book called "Who Loves Baby?" It has her parents, Aunts & Uncles and Grandparents in it. It was quit a hit between the two babies. Here, it looks like Airen is giving Sunny a lesson on their family!

Here, they both learn about having to share the book.

Here Sunny gives kisses to her relatives!



Look at the height difference! Airen is 15 month old and Sunny is 5 1/2! Only about a 4 inch difference! Watch out Airen, it appears Sunny might actually be tall someday!

What are these 2 up to?



Nana and Pee Paw with a happy Sunny!

We couldn't resist watching these two interact in the tub also! Here, Airen teaches Sunny all about the art of splashing!

Airen gives kisses to his little cousin.

This video is so funny. Airen has a workbench in which he LOVES to hammer the nails in. Watch how fast he does it and afterwards, he askes Sunny for a high-5!

Airen is being very helpful here in assisting with the care of Sunny.

At dinner time, we all sat around the table along with the babies. The adults had their conversation and the babies had theirs! Just watch! It was so cute to see them "talking" to each other!
