This year we decided to have a Cousins' Birthday Bash to celebrate all the birthdays at once. Now that Jenn, Kim, Keith and I all have a combined 8 2nd cousins that made it difficult to attend all the birthdays will all our busy schedules. To still celebrate with everyone, we came up with this new, fun idea! We also had each cousin draw a name and he/she brought a gift for one cousin rather than 7 cousins. That made it much easier on the checkbook and the kids' closets! We celebrated our 1st Annual Cousins' Birthday Bash at Mom and Dad's house this year.
Brady, Emma and Mary had lots of splash time in the pool!
Allison built up enough courage to jump in, but I had to help her.
Time for Brynn to dry off. The weather was a bit on the cool side for a July afternoon.
Robert didn't want to go swimming, so he stayed with Jon most of the afternoon.
Shandley loved splashing around in the pool.
Kiley and her thumb relaxin' in the sun.
Smiling sisters so happy to celebrate their grand children's birthdays.
Keith and Jeff were all smiles at the bash.
We were happy to have Great Grandma Rogers celebrate with us too.
Phillip didn't want his picture taken, but my patience and persistence paid off and I got a nice smile from him.

Almost all the cousins lined up...from the left: Brady, Allison, Kiley, Mary, Shandley, Emma and Brynn. We're missing Robert though.
I made the most beautiful double decker vanilla/chocolate birthday cake. Cake decorator I am not!
Happy Birthday kiddos! This year Emma turned 7, Kiley turned 2, Mary turned 1, Allison turned 4, Brynn turned 5, Brady turned 7, Robert turned 2 and Shandley turned 5.
Happy wishes for the new year!July 3, 2010
