Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!

Why is it so hard to get pictures of two kids…my lanta!

When I was a teenager I loved Memorial Day weekend because it was the kick off of our summer of lifeguarding. The city pools opened and it was time to make some money! I loved working in the summers…we had so much fun!!

In 1998 I started lifeguarding at the Jurupa Lagoon in Fontana. Barely 16 years old and given the freedom to work and save lives! haha Who would trust a bunch of teenagers to do what we did…oh dear! But I continued working there every summer until I was married in 2006!! Started as the rookie guard and moved up to assistant manager working alongside one of my bestest friends. The memories and friendships I made during those summers are ones that I’ll cherish forever!

Funny how time and age changes you though…now Memorial Day weekend is the kick off of SUMMER and NOT working! We do have 3 more days left of work this year but Memorial Day is the preview of what summer has to offer…BBQ’s, pool time, friends and relaxation. Oh I can’t freakin’ wait!!

We spent the day with the Cildermans, Gerkes and the Rowes at the Manley’s new casa…so nice!

Last Memorial Day we were sitting in the Cilderman’s spa…enjoying some down time after a crazy day BBQing…

We saw a stork fly overhead and Heather said “Oh Erin…maaaayybbbeeee your pregnant!!!” I laughed and secretly hoped it was true as I took another sip of wine!! THEN another stork flew over and Heather said “ohhhhh maybe its twwiinnnssss!!”

Funny thing is…YES I was pregnant (obviously I didn’t know!) and NO it wasn’t with twins…the other stork baby was in Heathers belly!! And she had NO IDEA!!!!! Heather and I both found out we were expecting a few shorts weeks after that picture was taken! Best surprises of our lives!
So THIS Memorial Day there was no wine and spa lounging for us ladies…our little peanuts were with us….amazing how life changes in a year!
