Memorial Day Weekend

I would like to send a thanks to all of those who have made sacrifices to serve our country and for me and my family to enjoy our freedoms because of their sacrifices.

My family had a great Memorial Day weekend. My parents came up and spent the weekend with us. I am so thankful to have such great parents who are active and play such a big role in my kid's lives. My boys adore their Gram and Poppa (as do Victor and I)! Zack calls my mom "Beya". We have no idea where that comes from, but it sure is cute.

They played lots of games and read books with Gram and enjoyed wrestling, building fires, and going to the outdoor stores with Poppa. One of the great advantages of sticking around for the Memorial Day weekend is getting in on the great sales!

Getting ready to roast some marshmallows and makes smores in the firepit.

My mom and I shopped and shopped and we all filled up at some of my favorite restaurants, yum! On Sunday we took a ride to Cascade. It was so green and pretty and it was nice to get out and see what was going on with Mother Nature. We also took a walk on the greenbelt and the kids loved every minute of it. We got lucky and had great weather this weekend.

Conner and Zack in Cascade.

The boys drawing me pictures with their sidewalk chalk.

Mace and his best bud, Bear.

Thanks for such a nice fun weekend Gram and Poppa! We love you!
