cashel and cousins and friends

if it's one thing we've learned from our travels back east, it's that cashel loves to hang out with his cousins and meet other friends close to his age

this is addison. what a sweet girl. she loved playing with cashel and being his "big sister" except for the time he was really, really pulling her hair

this is reagan and addison. reagan also enjoyed playing with cashel and being his "big brother" but enjoyed my iphone more

this is cashel and my friend connie's house. connie has two boys, noah who is 4 and mason who is 9 months old. i totally forgot to get their pictures but did snap this shot of cashel on their playground - next time connie!

oh. these are the cutie pie boys of my college friend bika. that's shan on the left and devon on the right. this is the first day i noticed cashel enjoyed smiling for the camera and saying cheese. he only does that about 25% of the time now. he enjoyed playing with them, but i don't think devon enjoyed playing with cashel so much. i think cashel was a little rough with all the jumping on top of him. that's how we roll in the bryant-barnes family but it doesn't always go over so well with others

two of my favorites. this is parker and meadow. i knew if i waited there long enough they would get into costume. parker in a star wars get up (sorry parker..don't know exactly what you are but i know it's one of the good guys) and meadow as a princess which is not so much a costume as much as her personality. if you look closely you'll notice cashel looking down. he is looking at meadow's hand because she is holding his. i think he's in love

and this is the money shot. cashel is dressed as a Hawaiian basketball player

morgan and mason hickey. these two cutie pies are the kids of my high school best friend, lori. this was the last stop of a long day in raleigh. morgan is a baby sitter in training and mason is a future gap model. cashel enjoyed them but he terrorized a little boy about his age that they had over by jumping on him. lori, kevin and i were in the kitchen and we heard squealing. i went to check and as i did lori said, miles (i think that was his name) is a little squealer. my reply was, yes, i would squeal too if cashel was standing in front of me jumping up and down

last but not least is aimee and eli. cashel loves aimee and eli. he loves aimee because she has beautiful hair he likes to pull and she is just so easy to jump on. he love eli because eli loves to play with him. especially with balls and loves to carry him around on his back. notice again that cashel is looking down....at aimee's hand because she's holding hands with him. don't worry meadow, aimee's his cousin and we're not that type of family
