Elijah and I went to CT for a week to visit with my family. My mother also traveled up from Florida with my brother Charlie's 3 kids. Not everyone was together but all the grandkids (10 of them!) were at least. It was so much fun and so great to spend time, build bonds and make memories. Our week included two birthday cakes, a day at Walnut Beach and a trip to the Beardsley Zoo! To help you all out and to save me some time when posting pics here is the 'key' to my family tree:
I'm one of 6 kids. the order is-- Dawnie, EJ, Me, Charlie, Nikki and Jillian. Sibling offspring is:
Dawnie= Brian and Allie
EJ= Leah
Me= Elijah (to date)
Charlie= Nico, Cami and Chase
Nikki= Tori, Matthew and Sawyer (to date)
Jill= plenty of neices and nephews!
The rest of this post will be big on pictures and videos. : )
Here is a picture of my mother with all 10 of her chickens. Of course with this many kids its impossible to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time and with a smile. So this is about as good as it gets!

Here is a cute video of them running laps in Nikki's house. It's so loud with all the kids laughing and running but Josh (Nikki's hubby) says "they're like the 3 Stooges" lol.
My siblings and mom cracked up at Elijah referring to himself in the 3rd person. Here is "Eli sad" b/c Auntie Nikki told him 5 minutes in response to can I have an ice pop.

This video of Sawyer cracks me up. This is one of his favorite things to do. He is so tiny, he is able. This is not a huge dump truck...Sawyer is just that tiny. I swear I picked him up and thought he was made of air. He weighs all of 20lbs. Such a sweet little guy!

Walnut Beach photos--Aside from a run in with a few aggressive seagulls, E LOVED the beach.
Cami, E and Matt playing
Getting water for sand castles under the watchful instruction of Cami-lol
Cami sent me down to the water to make sure he was getting water and to bring him a shovel.
and D O N E.....
Chase turned 2 on July 21st. Elijah and I left that day, we celebrated a day early so we didn't miss it.
