Visit from Layla's cousins and Aunt Lisa!!

We had a great time during our visit from Layla's Aunt Lisa and cousins!! We celebrated Nicholas's 10th birthday and Mommy's 32nd! We visited many parks, went to the zoo, played in our yard, among other things!! It was so nice of them to drive all the way from Wisconsin!! Layla loves to play and laugh with her cousins. She just absolutely loves them:-)
They arrived late afternoon on Nick's Birthday...August 8th!!
We got Nicholas a cake to celebrate!
