Memorial Day



What a beautiful weekend - finally! We started our weekend with a very muddy but very fun soccer game on Friday night. Brayden and his friends loved playing in the mud, I think they did everything they could to make sure they got the ball into the muddiest water hole, but they had a blast. Saturday was yard work all day long and we ended the day with church and then some deck time with our wonderful neighbors, Sunday was a day of fun for the kids and a grill out. Sean, Lisa and the kids and mom came over for a grill out and the kids had a blast - we did the sprinkler and then a bouncy house and then movie time - simple, yet wonderful memories for them to have. Today was our family day in spending time with each other and just relaxing.

It is funny back in the day, I would lay out in the sun for hours, not worrying about sunscreen. Today I was out there for ten minutes and I was ready to come in. It was so hot and I realize now that it doesn't matter how tan you are, it is more important to take care of yourself and your skin. Way more important. We ended the night with a movie, Fox and the Hound. I brought out the classics for the boys tonight. Logan seems to love Bambi so much, that I thought they would love this one too - so far, so good. I know it is a school night, but really are they going to do anything in school? LOL


Weekends like this make you realize how lucky we would all be if we could just work four days a week - How we need to make our family and friends a priority - I think we all work too much in the USA - our priorities are all messed up.









I am sorry to say that Ric's brother did pass away this weekend. I know he is in a better place and as much as it hurts the family right now and his friends, they didn't want to see him suffer anymore, he is at peace now. And his memory will continue on through his son and through his family.
I hope everyone had a great safe weekend - it was a beautiful one. Now off to a short week and continue prayers that some day we can all go to the four day workweek!!! :)

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
