Cousins and misc

This is one of the coolest pictures of Bear Butte I have ever taken. I'm not sure what was in the sky, but it looks like it was shooting out of the butte.

South Dakota can be VERY WINDY. Ask Stephen. He thought it was going to be cool to lean into the wind. He didn't taken into account that he could not breathe that well. Oh and by the way - in South Dakota WIND is a four letter word. Watch carefully who you say it to. ;)

What's the odds of two cousins receiving the same outfit from different people? What's the odds that we would bring that outfit with us to South Dakota? The picture was staged as we planned the girls to wear the same outfit one day. Too cute!

We just love their little butt ruffles. Probably the last time they will dress alike.

We had all the cousins come visit one Friday to play and spend the night. With three newborns - we found out what it was like to have triplets or twins. It was a handful! The kids had a great time playing. We watched movies and ate pizza. Everyone but Bella spent the night. Bella had to go home with her mommy to see her daddy. Before she left we took a picture of all the cousins with their Uncle Loman (the one with glasses sitting on the floor).
