Cousins are fun!

Well what's better than cousins in life when it comes to family? I don't know what I would've done in my childhood w/o my cousins..I was soo very close to alot of mine growing up and saw them all the time. We spent summers swimming together, four wheeling & even vacationing. Thought I'd share a few photos of some new cousins that are so adorable I just had to share! This first pic is our newest cousin born to my first cousin CJ Brown & wife Katie...she was born 9/30/11 and weighed 8 lbs 7 oz & given the name Elyse Rylie:) Here's the girls holding her at the hospital...



I couldn't get over all the beautiful black hair!!! My girls didn't have near this much! They had some, but barely!

Olivia liked her, especially her head & hair..she thought it was soft! Wonder if we could've took her home & no one would've known? She reminded me so much of my girls as a newborn....

Cousin Landon Mathies celebrated his 5th birthday a few weeks ago...he's surrounded by another one of our cousin's Hunter on the right, and the other are friends of his...another gorgeous/fun cake made by Heather Arvin!!!

I love this picture..this is Mr. Holden O'Neil Lingenfelter being held by his great-grandmother Norma Jean Ziegler. She is a sister to my Papaw Brown so Holden would be my.....4th cousin maybe?...it gets hard to figure this stuff out the further down the line we go. All I know is that he has roll after roll, black hair & cute as a button! He has 2 sisters at home just as cute too!
