cousin ry ry

we love cousin ryley....she such a silly girl. the twins love when they get to play with her. before we know it they will be running around like nuts. i love watching these 3 grow up! 

baby cousins

growing up and even now some of my best friends are my cousins. annie, hailey and megan. we are all close in age. a year a six months to six months. i have so many amazing memories with them and now we are all married and have our own families. 

when my sister in law stephanie announced she was preggers, i was so excited. then about a week later we found out we were preggers too. i was over the moon that our baby would have a cousin so close in age.  then we found out there was two babies. well these 3 babies are about 3 weeks apart. the twins are older since they were early! 

these 3 are so cute. i love watching them actually start to play with each other now. it makes me so excited that my babies will have someone to play with forever. ryley is younger but bigger haha! 

on labor day we went over to dans parents for pizza and a play date with ryley and her big sisters brooklyn (10) and bailey (almost 8).  i brought my camera to take some new photos of the babies and to photograph ryley too! it was so fun! these babies are amazing! 

i am so excited to watch them grow up! 

fondue night with the helvey's

saturday afternoon after the snow finally let up {guys, we got over 2ft on this weekend...insane!} we drove down to provo to for our photo session with ashley. {cannot wait to see them and share them with you!!!}

&& then we went to hang out with our favorite cousins/friends annie + michael helvey. we had dinner at noodles & co, then fondue at their apt {mmmm!}. it was so much fun. lots of laughs, chocolate eating, and apples to apples playing. we love the helvey's and are so glad they are family. {we love you guys! xoxo}
