Cousins

Jackson and Jillian got to come to our house and spend the night this week! It was so much fun. I am not sure who had more fun..Jackson & Jillian, Macie, or ME! They were perfect and were so much fun! They also did a great job helping with Macie! I am so glad that Macie will have them to look to as she grows up!

Jillian fed Macie her dinner the first night and fed her some of her cereal the next morning. She also helped with a diaper and picking out everything Macie would wear.

Jackson gave Macie a bottle when she woke up from her nap after they arrived!

Karaoke was a favorite!

Jackson sang and played the guitar! He did a great job!

Jackson and Jillian made "crystal or glass" with sugar. Jackson told Jillian what a prediction was and then we predicted what would happen to the sugar as it was heated. Jillian's glass piece was very thick but most of it turned out very thin.

Jillian made the cupcakes, both kids filled the cupcake holders, and then we all decorated them once they were ready. The kids did a lot of taste testing with the icing beforehand. They also mixed food coloring to come up with some of the variety of cupcakes. They were very creative when they decorated them. They even put some of their "crystal" in the cupcakes. Macie was trying to grab the cupcakes. She wanted to have a lick too!

Once Macie woke up from her nap, she was super excited to see that her cousins were at her house. Jillian wanted Macie to wear her tutu and red bow.

Jillian picked out which swimsuit Macie would were and got her ready. Notice that Jillian even put Macie's sunglasses on her head. She was stylin'.

Feeding the Ducks

After the ducks went to the other side of the pond, we threw the remaining bread to the catfish and turtles. There were lots of fish and about 8 turtles around the area we were throwing the bread.

Swimming

While Macie was napping, Jackson and Jillian filled up water balloons and then threw them at me! They got to chose how full to fill them so we had a variety of sizes.

After we got back from lunch, Jillian dressed Macie in the outfit she picked out the night before. Macie looked cute and Jillian did a great job dressing her all by herself.
