So, I must hurry and post about our fun trip to KC last weekend as we are yet again heading there this weekend for more family fun.
Our trip was originally planned around my favorite cousin, Jared & his family coming into town. However, since they bailed on the trip last minute, he is no longer my favorite cousin. ;-) So, to make him jealous, we went on without him and had lots of fun anyway!
We were lucky enough to pick up Grandma Bell on our way through Joplin so she could help tend to Addison and her needs while we drove. A 3+ hour drive isn't fun for a toddler who must move constantly. Despite her needs, she did fairly good on our trip but we were still very excited to finally get there and play with cousins and aunts and uncles.
Unfortunately, Uncle Kendall was on a business trip so we didn't get to see him. But we did get to help Michelle juggle three kids in his absence. It was part of our reason for going on our random KC trip.
First on the agenda...BATHS! It seemed we had both been saving up our dirty babies just for this special occasion. And even more fun when suckers are involved!
Grandma & Addison playing a bit of dress-up. Here is the princess in her true form. Note the cowboy boots. A must-have for every little girl. 
This was by far Addison's favorite thing to do. Sit and read/babble to anyone who was listening. The scores of toys laying around never drew her in. There was way too much reading to get done apparently!
Cramming into a teeny tiny diner for breakfast. Notice the poor old man on the far right. He picked an unlucky table apparently. But he was great at entertaining the older girls while we waited. Notice the kids outnumber the adults 2 to 1! Apparently it was "Husband's Day Out" since they are nowhere to be found!
Two more reasons we came to KC to play. Our newest nephews/cousins: Garrett & Rex. This was my first official meet & greet with little Rex. Both are soooo adorable.
Heading to the pool for a swim. I don't think Grandma could have packed them in any tighter than this!
Movie night with the cousins. We all enjoyed laughing while watching "Bedtime Stories"...kids and adults both!
Watching cartoons with the cousins. It gave us a nice little reprieve from all of our hard work.

We can't wait to see you again...tomorrow!!
lol, you have no idea how long it took me to place who you were talking about when you said "Grandma Bell". (Okay, I can't lie, I didn't figure it out until I saw a picture of Aunt Arlaine referred to as "grandma", and even then it took me a minute.)
Fun trip!
