Cousins

My cousin Katie and her boys
Kellen and his cousin Zach.  They are a week apart.
Ian and his cousins Eli and Owen.  They are a few weeks apart.

My cousin Katie was over today and I just wanted to say how much I love living by her.  We've become close friends since living near each other in Boise.  Growing up she lived in Utah and I lived in California.  I am so happy that we both ended up in Boise raising our families.(Purely coincidental) Not only are our boys above close in age but we have 7 year olds that are only 2 months apart.  We also have all boys.  It is so fun to get together weekly and chat while the chaos insues around us....you can imagine with all boys.  We can completely understand what having all boys, or just boys in general, is like and we can swap stories and laugh about it.
I love to spend time with Katie.  I feel completely at ease with her and she always makes me laugh.  She is just one of those people you love to be around because she is always laughing and happy.  That is one of my favorite things about her. 
I feel blessed to have such a great friend in my life and having her be family is an added bonus! :)
