Memorial Day Weekend 2012

We had a jammed packed Memorial Day weekend!! Complete with 2 birthday parties, playing at the park, lots of swimming, and food!

Thursday night, as we were ending our walk around the neighborhood...Annabelle tripped and busted it on the pavement :(

Dr. Daddy

Just from walking

Friday night, we had dinner with Mom and Dad at a new-ish Mexican restaurant and Fro-yo! I wish I had a picture of the mix Annabelle came up with...Strawberry Kiwi sorbet, M&Ms, gummy worms, and gummy bears.

Saturday, was our BUSY day. We had Weston's 3rd birthday party that morning at the park, it was hot...but so nice! The kids had the best time playing and getting sweaty.

In between parties, having a Popsicle picnic watching Cinderella

We had Laney and Kaitlyn's party that afternoon at the pool. The kids had so much fun! And I loved just being in a pool :)
Sidenote: Collin was in the pool a good 2 minutes before realizing he had his phone in his pocket...I guess that is one way to get an upgrade :)

After we left the 2nd party, we went to Publix to get some rice for Collin's phone. The home for some BBQ.

Not 1 minute out of the Publix parking lot.

Sunday, we had church, then lunch with some friends at the park. It was hot, but I was so glad they brought a canopy for us to sit under. They wanted to hear about Collin's trip to Honduras and talk missions, and the kids played and played.

When we left the park, we had a message from Chris saying to come over and swim...so we quickly went home, changed, and grabbed our pool bag and headed to the pool. Annabelle was so excited to see one of her sweet teachers at the pool :)
We made our way back to Chris and Kelly's for dinner, while Annabelle fell asleep on their couch.

Monday morning, we decided to hang out with the A/C. So we cooked pancakes,

did some painting, organized a bit, ate Chick Fil A, napped, drew with sidewalk chalk, laied on the quilt in the front yard, made quesadillas, enjoyed a slushie from Sonic, and had early bedtimes!

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

I was so glad to have a 4 day Holiday weekend! Nothing like do a whole bunch of nothing and last minute fun stuff!

Friday was our sweet nephew's 2nd birthday! Since I was off, I asked Laurice if he could hang out with me and Annabelle. We did a lot of cousin play time that morning.

Playing games on the iPod...Wes turned as I was taking the picture.

Wrestling

They are the sweetest cousins :)

We met Laurice for lunch and played on the playground for playtime. They crashed on the way home :)
That night Collin's dad and Step mom arrived from Savannah, we stayed up a little bit talking with them.

Saturday morning, we had breakfast and Annabelle enjoyed some playtime with Marshall and Joan.

We had a lazy morning,


and after Annabelle got up from her nap we got ready for Weston's Birthday party!

Rockin a Side Pony :)

Weston's party was so perfect! It was a little hot getting everything ready, but by 6 the temperature was just perfect! The kiddos had fun playing in the sandbox, on the swing set, and eating cake

Sandy hands and cake=YUM!

The kids partied late, but did not go to sleep without washing off the cake and sand.


It doesn't get much better than this!

Sunday was the usual (Church, Lunch, and Naps), except we took extra long naps!...almost 3 hours! While we were eating dinner, Laurice sent me a text asking if I wanted to got see Bridesmaids in about hour. I am so thankful for my husband! He didn't hesitate when he told me I should go, and I did. It was a funny movie and I'm so glad I went!

Monday, We slept in and Collin cooked us breakfast :)
He also blew up Annabelle's pool Sunday night, so we played for the longest time outside!


 We ate lunch at Chick Fil A, and came home for naps. My brother called me and invited us over for dinner. We had the best time! We haven't seen Gracie in a while, boy has she grown. She is the sweetest niece.
We made a pit stop by Collin's Mom and Step Dad's to drop something off, and ended up staying for an hour. Annabelle just loves her grandparents!

With the crazy evening we had, Annabelle did not get into bed until 10:30, and lets just say this morning wasn't the smoothest :)

Memorial Day Weekend 2010

We had the BEST weekend EVER!

Friday: I left work early, and we had a usual family date...food and grocery store.
Collin's dad and step mom came in that night to stay with us.

Saturday: We had a very relaxed morning. Then we headed to Carson and Laurice's to help set up for Weston's 1ST Birthday Party! We set everything up outside, but right before the party started, it started raining. So  we quickly moved everything inside. It was the perfect party! Fun, Food, and Friends! Annabelle decided to skip her afternoon nap, she ended up partying till 10:30.

Sunday: We church, lunch with friends, then home for a nap. Annabelle and I laid down for 2.5 GLORIOUS hours! After we woke up, we headed to Deb and Skipper's to hang out with the Waddington's!

Monday: A very relaxing day! Annabelle and I didn't even leave the house! She woke up at 8:00, took an hour nap, and crashed at 8:00. She played, and played, and played! I tried to get her to play in the pool, but no such luck. So, we took a stroll in the wagon instead. While she took her, very short, nap...I cleaned out my closet, getting ready for a yard sale we plan on having.

I have a very busy week coming up! At home and at work. We are getting ready for our annual conference the is being held in Florida. So not only and I packing things up at work, but also at home :)
