Snelling family gathering

On Saturday, Rebecca's parents, her sister, Hannah, and our family went over to Puyallup for a reunion of sorts. It is always great to see Rebecca's side of the family. The boys love it because their cousin, Timmy, who is Jacob's age, is there and they love seeing each other. Jacob is big into making paper airplanes so they spent time creating for awhile. Also, Rebecca uncle Henry is an engineer at Boeing so Jacob was enthralled listening to him explain how airplanes are made and how they lift off the ground. Jacob now says he wants to be an aeronautical engineer when he grows up. Noah and I went out to the backyard and threw the ball around which quickly turned into tackle baseball. It seems like anything we play ends up with tackle in the phrase at the end. Noah still thinks he is six foot four and can take me down. Hopefully it will be a couple years until he can tackle me.

Rebecca's cousins were had graduated from high school and the other with her AA degree, so we celebrated with cake and balloons. Within minutes of the cake being served all the kids asked if they could take the balloons outside. They played with all of them until every single one of them were popped. Cheap entertainment.

We let the kids take pictures with the camera again and this is one that Noah took of his cousin Timmy. It is a perfect picture of any boy. They all have so much fun together. We all had a great time and ended up heading to the spaghetti factory afterwards for dinner. By the time we got home, the kids were trashed and ready for bed. This was the fourth day in a row of events and a lot of fun for the kids. They are going to need a couple of days to recuperate from the past week.
