Memorial day parade

This weekend we went to a nearby town
to enjoy their Memorial Day Parade...

we saw lots of Firetrucks - so E-man was in his element...

the sun was out... the sun was hot...

but we were lovin it!

(and there was candy too -

which helped distract the little ones
from the hot beams of sunshine!)

Thank you to all the men and women
who have fought,
and continue to fight,
for our freedom!

God Bless!

Cousin weekend

Two weekends ago we had a FULL,
fun-filled day with our cousin Drew.

The day started out with a local Dairy breakfast.

Ice cream for breakfast??? YUMMY-LICIOUSincluding tractor "rides"

Next, we headed to the Children's Museum -

where our inner-artists came out!

as well as a chance to explore

and get some much-needed energy expended :)

Thanks Drew for coming to play with us!

May Playdates....

This month we have had some fun little playdates
with our 'lil friends...

outside picnics!
and Noni's rhubarb

as well as fun play days with
our cousins....

"signs of summer"

We went from 50 degrees to 90 degrees in a matter of a day...
hours, actually.


So, what do you do when the weather feels like summer????

today we dug out our swimsuits...


and drug out the sprinklers....

and filled our truck "pool"

(showing our muscles)

now that we have fully embraced the heat,
we are bracing ourselves for
the forecasted 50 degree weekend ahead.
