Memorial Day weekend

 Whew, so glad we made it through this week without any traumatic causalities.

We had something going on every night this week, which is very unusual for us.  On Monday, we went and visited GG Rita at her house, not far at all from Grammie & Grandad's place.  We had a lovely time and the kids were just little angels there.

I had my yearly checkup on Tuesday, we had our house inspection on Wednesday, Maggie had her 1 year checkup on Thursday (plus our unplanned doctor visit for Colin to get a band-aid pulled out of his nose).  On Friday, we just wanted to hang loose!

Brian had to work on Saturday, so we just played around the house and went to church, like a usual Saturday.  On Sunday, we headed out to Belton to spend some time with Tiff & Chad.

The kids always have a blast there, and this time was no different.  We just hung out, played in the sprinkler, Tiff and I went for a run, we did some errands around town while the boys played baseball and the kids took naps.  Chad and Tiff grilled some awesome food for us and it was a lot of fun just relaxing and enjoying each other's company.

Tiff sent me some pictures she had taken, so here are some of my favorites...

Colin was pretty bummed that we had to leave Grammie & Grandad's house before he was able to water their flowers.  Luckily, Tiff & Chad had lots of flowers that needed watered, and Colin was more than happy to help out.

Maybe he has a green thumb.  That would be nice since I don't seem to have one at all! 

Colin thought it was hilarious when Scooter tried to bite the water from the hose...

 Love his laugh!

Colin found Chad's drum set in the basement...

He's a natural!

 We'll work on the details later...like holding the sticks the right way :)

 A quick picture of Tiff & Chad with Colin and Maggie.

Poor little Maggie started a nasty cough on Saturday night, which led to a lot of nasal drainage and bad fevers on Sunday afternoon.  She did not sleep AT ALL on Sunday night, with a 103 degree fever and lots of crying and coughing.  Ugh!!

 They have so many cool toys to play with in their basement!

 Chad and sweet Maggie Mae!

 The sprinkler was a hit!  He spent a lot of time trying to drink from it.

Then he realized he could shoot it at people and get them all wet!  

Daddy and Chad were such good sports, they got in their swimsuits and ran around like little kids with him.  

Monday is Olivia's 3rd birthday party, but I will not be attending as I will be home with a sick Maggie. Grammie and Grandad will take Colin, cause Brian has to work on Monday.  Looks like we might make a trip to the doctor with Sis.  

Thank you to all that serve our country (past & present) that allow us the freedoms that we cherish!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!
