Memorial Day w/ Family

We had a great time Memorial Day afternoon spending time with the McDowell clan! It's always fun to get all the McDowell grandkids together. We grilled out and just spent time enjoying the day outside!
Grandpa McDowell with the baby girls! Notice Claire has her arm in the fruit puff container up to her elbow! She LOVES her puffs!

In this picture you can see she is stuffing the puffs in her mouth. Sometimes she manages to get so many in her mouth she can't even chew, thankfully they do dissolve!!
Ollie (Shawn & Kristen's Springer Spaniel) trying to get a drink of Grandpa's Coke.

Here Ollie is trying to steal a fruit puff from Claire! He is in to everything, but he's so sweet and cute! Ollie & Sophie had a great time running laps in my parent's large backyard! Ollie realized quickly that he wasn't fast enough to catch up with a Greyhound so he was clever enough to hide in the bushes with a sneak attack on Sophie as she ran by. It was so funny and smart! We all got quite a laugh out of his antics! Below Sophie is taking a rest in the cool mulch after her run!
Claire & Caroline playing on the blanket. This was before they realized it was much funner to play in the grass and mulch!

Nuna reading to Claire!

Nuna and her girls!

Aren't they just adorable! They are really starting to enjoy being around one another. They play so well together and just gibber jabber. They are both talkers!!

The "cousins" picture! They are so cute! Connor is REALLY hoping that the new baby is a boy. He definitely feels outnumbered with his sister's and girl cousins!

Poor Connor! Maybe the new baby will be a boy. Claire and Caroline have a slight similarity through their eyes.

Ya know, Connor REALLY does need a boy cousin!

The photos are great, I love the beautiful weather and all the kids in colorful clothes!
