Boy Cousin Fun

Ryker, Elias, Jordan and Liam: Four boy cousins.  Soon they will be 5, 5, 5, and 4.    It is fun to see their games and tricks . . . .what will they be like when they get together at age fifteen?  What wild plans will they hatch, what plots will they scheme?  Which one will be the leader of the pack?  One will generate ideas, one will bulid their flying machines, one will con the parents with sweet talk, and one will be the comic hero.  Which one is which?   What surprises and fun lay ahead!

 Here are some shots of three of them from a Christmas hike.  Jordan wasn't there that day. 

Elias and Ryker:  These two boys enjoy playing together.  They have so much in common: inqusitive minds, daredevil adventures, and always breaking, slicing, scraping, and denting themselves!  Usually they have the same hair-do.  We call it, "poking-up." 

 More Ballerina fotos.

 

Usually Elias is prancing in the pink tutu,

but this night he had to get into his jammies.

They are really going to hate me for

taking these pictures when they are older! 

(High School Senior Year Book--Here we come!)

What is he thinking?!  He looks so serious for a tutu.

I think he is about to perform a ballerina leap.

Once again, Elias knows he is the star of the show.

Liam and Ryker

Liam and Elias.

Is Elias thinking, "I am planning to pull Liam off the bumber

of Papa's car as soon as Mom isn't looking,"???

Or does he think he's protecting little Liam from falling off?

Now Leah wants to eat Ryker's licorice. 

He's trying to clean the turkey out of his teeth. 

Climbing to the top--king of the stump!

Falling asleep in the warm sun.

I like Raelin's grin in this picture. 

Something is stuck in my nose.  Oh, it's my fingers. 

"Oooo-oooo, Eeee, eee.  I'm a monkey."
