memorial day fun...

monday was a busy day!
i headed out at 7:30 to get ready to walk in the memorial day parade with youth go.
we had about 15 kids join us for the parade including hannah...it was a fun time!
drew and max were headed to watch but missed us.

we dropped max off at grama's so we could get some work done at home.
it was a hot day...the perfect day for some hard work.
we removed the bricks in our backyard around one of our trees.
teddy came over to help and the two of us pulled up all the bricks and drew moved them to the side of the house.

after getting cleaned up and hydrated, we headed over to mom's for a cookout.
we pulled into the driveway and this is what we saw. :)

he was drenched!

max and hayden were playing in the water table and having a BLAST!


what a cheeseball!




i don't think he could have been any more soaked!


just take a look at hayden's face...you can just see the laughter!


such a cutie!

after the water fun we settled in for an awesome cookout. it was a great way to spend the holiday. celebrating with family and remembering those who fought and still fight for our freedom.


then it was time for ice cream!






sometimes at these family gatherings i just sit back and take it all in. the laughter, the smiles, the blessed feeling of being surrounded by those i love.
