Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend is the official start to summer…

…and also a day to remember all of those men and women whom are fighting for our country and its freedoms! Thank you to the American heroes of the past and present for fighting for our nation and all its people!

Since 1997 Memorial Day weekend as always been something I’m excited about…for many years it was because I was a lifeguard and our waterpark opened for the season on Memorial Day…nowadays I’m excited because I KNOW it means that summer break from school is literally just around the corner. Time off means more quality time with Owen…beach trips…pool time at Nana’s and just having free time to enjoy one another! I love it. I seriously don’t know how people with “real” jobs do it…like working ALL year long for only 2 weeks vacation…gosh it would be so tough. This time of year teachers are soooo ready for a break from students! 

Its American tradition to BBQ, Spend time in Swimming Pools and relax this weekend…so we did just that!

A day of BBQing and Swimming at the Green River Community Clubhouse.  The kiddie pool is AMAZING…Owen loves it…he feels comfortable since the whole thing is 1 1/2 feet…its awesome!

Followed by relaxation time at the Cilderman’s. The kids got to play…Daddies got to play board games…and Mommies got to plan pinterest crafts and more Girl Nights Out.
It was nice!

Today, Yosh woke up motivated to get some yard work done. So I went right ahead and let him! It was going to be a warm day so I figured I’d bring Owen over to Nana’s for a quick swim before lunch and nap. My friend Taryn has been a zombie this week…newborn baby Connor has been keeping Mommy and Daddy busy. So I thought it would be a good idea to bring Addi (Connor’s big sister) out for some play time.

Away we went to Nana’s. I kept thinking to myself…my GOSH this is what my friend Allison must feel like with twins…NUTS! The two were amazing…they chatted away in the back seat like an old dating couple. They chatted about the music, baby Connor, swimming…it was hilarious!

Addi is quite adventurous compared to Owen…but it was cool to seem them swimming around the place with their floaties and jackets.  We then got out and dry since Nana made a McDonalds run (yes I provided Addi with a nutritious lunch)

Memorial day was quite relaxing…got some shopping done for our cruise (t-minus 5 days before departure!!), spent time with some friends…unfortunately missed other parties but we can’t be in 2-3 places at once….and even got MY OWN nap in! haha
Back to work for 3 crazy busy days…then SUMMMER SUMMER SUMMER!!
