Cousins

One of the benefits of NOT being gainfully employed is the freedom to go with Jeff when he travels for work. I've passed up on trips to Lakeview and The Dalles (go figure) but when he had a trip planned to La Grande a few weeks ago, I jumped. Not only do Jeff's grandparents live there but as of late, so do Annie, David & Aden. For those of you who don't know, Annie is my first cousin and Aden is her sweet little guy who's 8 months older than Kieren. (Not to be left out of the fun, my mom, our Grandma and my brother Jeff came down too.)
Annie and I grew up together, playing and giggling... mostly giggling, so it's been fun to have little boys close in age. It seems like every time we get together, whether we're 13 or 30, there is at least one thing that will send Annie & I into fits of laughter... this time it was an impromptu photo shoot of Aden & Kieren at the park. Not only were their little personalities in full effect, it appeared that Kieren didn't want Aden to get up and go. He made attempts at keeping Aden there by grabbing a handful of his goldilocks and getting a death grip on his pant leg.

It obviously doesn't take much to get Annie & I laughing, especially when it comes to our boys.
