Memorial Weekend- PART 1

We had the GREATEST weekend with family. Im going to go backwards & start with today & will finish up this week with Friday-Sunday!

We started off the day helping our family pack up some things at their campsite who we were with Fri-Sat. Then Chad & I ran some errands for Ave's party that is in 5 DAYS- (yes, 5)!

After errands we made our way to our parents house on the lake & enjoyed spending the afternoon in the sun! My parents had company, my brother's in-laws were in for the weekend & for his Birthday so they all stayed at my parents all weekend. Me & my sister in law Tiff enjoyed relaxing & soaking up some rays! My mom & Ave were walking around the yard so of course I had to snap some pictures!

Can you believe this beauty is going to be ONE in just 3 days? Her party is Saturday & I just can't believe it's already here. I have one busy week! From pictures, to crafting, to organizing, buying food, purchasing a few more odd's & ends, finishing her outfit, & a little baking... I AM SO BUSY this week. I have something on my TO DO list everyday. But, I have the help of my wonderful mother & 2 besties on Friday, so we are going to be getting busy early!











After lunch & some time on the lake we decided to make our way into town to see our good friends baby! Grayson is 14 days old & is perfect in every way. Our family is very close to theirs so we enjoyed spending an hour with them & taking a few pictures of sweet Grayson & spending time with Mommy & Daddy- who are doing wonderful!





We made our way home just in time for dinner. The boys fished all afternoon then cooked up our yummy meal! We also had hotdogs & hamburgers & leftover Birthday cake from my brother's Birthday party, but I will do another pose on that one tomorrow!



Chad & I feel so blessed to have such great family between the both of ours, & even my brother's other side of the family. We all have such a wonderful time together & this weekend couldn't have been more perfect. I have about 100 more pictures to post but will do that throughout the week! For now, Happy Memorial from the 3 of us! We hope you all enjoyed this weekend as much as we did!

What a great reminder of what tomorrow is all about! I took this in my parents backyard tonight during our Birthday celebration for my brother. I always think it's so neat how my Dad lines these up around his dock for this special occasion!

Again, Happy Memorial!

Happy Memorial

Happy Memorial Weekend to everyone! So far our weekend has been pure bliss. I have enjoyed every moment of relaxing, being in the sun, sitting outside, being with family, spending time with my husband, & being with my sweet baby girl who turns 1 in only 5 more days. I am eating it up & resting before her big party a week from today!!!

LOTS of pictures to come... but, for now!

Girl Day!

Today was girls day at the pool! Several of us girls got together with the kids & enjoyed some fun in the sun at our neighborhood pool!















Besides the pool, this evening I taught a Body Pump class. I am so sore!!!! I managed to go right from class to my girlfriend Alyssa's to do a quick change & head to meet up with some other girls for a nice evening of fun on the patio! We enjoyed hanging out, catching up, & listening to the fun band that played all kinds of old school music like, "Brown Eyed Girl"- one of my fav's!

This guy looked just like Steve Martin on "Father of the Bride" & we got a kick out of it! He loved it too & thought it was funny so we begged for a pic!

The Shy's were out enjoying a nice dinner & are some friends of ours. They were so cute & her husband Jeff sang her a song- I had to capture this.. so romantic!




We both realized we had pockets & found it to be funny...







Now I am off to get rest so I can enjoy the big weekend ahead! We are going to be spending time with Chad's family camping, eating, grilling, swimming, & hanging out all weekend! We are celebrating my brother's 31st Bday with my parents & his in-laws Sunday & then Memorial Monday on the lake... so we have a big weekend to rest up for.. if Garage Sales don't get in my way in the morning! Nothing a coffee can't fix! =)
