cousins

we live less than an hour from my cousin christopher (fer) & his wife liz & their 3 darling, smart, well behaved chillins. i could go on. haha i've been a slacker about getting any pics with them but was snap happy when they came down & hit garden of the gods with us at the end of march.

cossette. can you see that she's sucking her cheeks into an almost fishy face? i think girlfriend knows that's the widest part of her body...

aren't they too cute?! liz's brother matthew is a total stud & it's always more fun with him around.

the kidlets play well together, especially the older girls. makes us miss having lexy & lena around.

ye chief was there too. my eye candy.

daner is my little buddy. i may or may not have photoshopped some clots of dirt from his face.

fer & jocelyn use the climbing wall at their gym all the time so she was super excited to rock climb for real.

cossette was cranky she didn't get a turn.

i love this part of colorado springs. always unique & beautiful while i scan the rock face for climbers.

when i put this photo on fb, my cute aunt kathy mentioned that my new shade matches the red rocks. :) camouflage baby! i blend right in!

we play with fer & liz when we can & they are always fun to hang out with. after living a country away from family, it makes us feel connected. & i love that.

& there is probably another cousin moving to that same town... oooo intrigue. :)
