Memorial Day

We had a Memorial Day lunch at my parents. Dad grilled up some fabulous food. Brats, brat patties, hamburgers & hot dogs along with watermellon, cheesy potatoes & beans. My mom made homeade ice cream sandwiches that were a big hit with all the kids! They played in the creek for a while but the bugs were biting pretty bad so it was short lived. This Memorial Day really hit home as Jason will be leaving in a few months. We pray every night for God to protect him and bring him home safely to us!

We spent the rest of the afternoon swimming in our friends pool. Cousins Madi, Mason, Jaxson, Hannah & Noah were there too! Lauren was able to swim with just floaties on her arms-I'm guessing by next summer she will be swimming like a fish! Both girls absolutely love the water!

Monday night Jason took the girls to see Shrek 4 & they all loved it!

Favorite parts of the movie

Lauren: When Shrek and Princess Fiona kissed at the end of the movie

Emma: The whole movie

The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

Sunday Funday

Sunday we spent an awesome day at Adventureland with my friend Shana and her girls Holly & Jillian. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and all of the lines were short. The girls loved it-there was not a ride at the park they wouldn't go on! Emma and Holly even rode in the front of the Dragon ALONE! The new waterpark wasn't completed yet, although it looks like it will be tons of fun. We will definitely have to return later this summer and check it out! They did get to enjoy Kokomo Cove which was a ton more fun this year as they got do most of the water slides!

Remembering Loved Ones

Every year we visit Jason's Dads grave over Memorial Weekend. The girls take a flower and draw a special picture to leave there. It is such a loss we never had the pleasure of knowing him or he the joy of meeting his grandchildren, but I am sure he is very proud of the man his son has become.






I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. John 11:25,26
