TWELVE-ish years ago it was just the five of us living in the HITS House...and last weekend (TWELVE years later) it was the five of us, our spouses, and TWELVE kids living under one roof! It was such a fun, crazy time to reunite in Spokane!
Bekah, Josh, Grace, Sidney, and Katie cooling off while we waited for two more families to arrive.
I think I caught on camera the ONE time that this boy sat down! He is as busy as a wind-up toy! We enjoyed watching Nelson and Karina shadow/chase after him all weekend.
Popsicles! One of the many times we lined the children up for pictures over the weekend...
The four oldest girls...isn't this sweet?!? They got along so well! Bekah (almost 4), Katie (5 1/2), Gracie (4), and Hazel (almost 5)
Sweet Holden boy...
The yard games were intense...Marc, Jeff, Chris, Beau, and Nelson all got after it.
And Becky brought dress up items! What fun the kids had!
She also brought mustaches and a photo booth...hours of fun!
At one point the kids had a dance party--look at Henley's break dancing moves!
I love this picture of the dads just looking on...
Ha! Hazel McBasil grooving in her dress-up princess wig.
Henley turns into Iron Man at night. The disguise is donned and the bad guys are fought before bedtime.
Children simmering down before bedtime.
Bryant having breakfast.
Photobooth! Four oldest girls: Hazel, Bekah, Katie, and Gracie
Four oldest boys: Henley, Cooper, Josh, and Jacob
And the mommies visit! The common essentials are in this pic: coffee, babies, and cameras!
Hazel is getting to be SUCH the photographer!
She took this picture for us...right after she told her dad, "I'm so glad the girls could have some time together." What a crack-up!
And then there was the POOL...
Jacob is almost two--and talking up a blue streak!
Matching legs for Hazel and Katie
Hazel loved little Jocelyn
Posing for more pictures...
On Saturday night, Matt and Heidi invited us to Van Sickle Park for a BBQ. The kids LOVED the playground while the adults visited.
Bryant eating dirt!

And the Van Sickle kids made...FIFTEEN! Can you figure out who they all belong to?

Thanks for the BBQ, Van Sickles! We couldn't resist in bringing you...
...THE BEAR HEART!!! It lives!!!
After seven years in our freezer, it's found a new home.
It was a wonderful weekend filled with reminiscing, catching up, and making memories again together. Thanks for making the trip to Spokane, friends!
