My Cousins

   I have a lot of cousins. In fact I have eight  all together from ages 11-3. Drew is 11. He really likes sports. He likes Notre Dame football, basketball and baseball. Sarah is 11 also. She is my twin. She plays softball and the flute. Randy is 10 and going to turn 11 soon. He likes sports a lot. He knows about all kinds of sports players and stuff. Maren is 9. She plays the piano, softball, basketball and soccer. Krista is 8, almost 9. She likes to play with her cousins a lot. She is on a swim club with me and Emma. Carley is 6. She is on the swim club too. She also is taking gymnastics. She is soooooo tiny. Sam is 4. He likes football and baseball. He is really funny. Faith is 3. She just likes to play and talk a lot. Those are all my cousins. My sister and I fill in the spots between Randy and Maren and then between Krista and Carley. I am 9 almost 10. Emma is 6 almost 7. There are a lot of birthday parties in the summer. We have 10 parties between June 22 and August 25th each year.  I love having so many cousins especially in the summer time. We don't have school so we can play more often. We also see each other on a regular basis on Wednesdays during the year. My mom takes Emma, Carley, Sam and Faith to Bible School. I go to Daddy's office to do school work. It's great when I am able to see Randy and Maren because they live further away and am not able to see them as often. I like to trade cards with Randy and we like to play house or hospital with Maren.  I also like to see Drew, Carley and Sam to play. Drew and I like to ride bikes together and trade cards. With Carley we like to play dollhouse. Sam just tags along.  Sarah, Krista and Faith come over and we play dress up or outside. Every year at least one time  during the year, we have a big cousin sleep over. When they come over, we stay up late and watch movies, do crafts, eat lots of yummy food and just have fun. This year Randy and Maren got to come too. It was great to have all 10 of us together!
