Happy Memorial Day, one day late. Thank you so much to all our men and women who have served in our armed forces in the past and those that serve today all over the world. I was a bit haunted this weekend by the memories of how it felt to be without my husband during any holiday while he was deployed or TDY and felt so blessed and grateful that he was with Nolan and I this Memorial Day weekend. Even a normal weekend that's not a holiday can be really tough, but a long weekend, which is usually centered around family time, always was the hardest. My heart and thoughts and prayers were with those families this weekend, too!
We spent our four days with only our family (most of our friends were out of town), and we had a FABULOUS time. We relaxed, swam in the pool, Barbecued, swam in the pool, went to the park, swam in the pool, napped, swam in the pool, went to the beach...it was awesome!!! Here's a modge podge of pictures from our weekend.
Nolan wasn't thrilled we were making him sit for a picture before he got in the pool...he was SO ready to jump in!
Okay, Daddy's in the pool, JUMP!
It was a battle getting Nolan out of the pool...

"Here Ducks! Here's some bread!!"
Giving Daddy a smooch:
We got lunch at Sonic and went to a different park, one that's close to our house we found on the local parks website. It really shouldn't be coined a park. They said there was a lake and picnic tables. There was a pond...that was pretty icky and ONE picnic table. But we had fun anyway! Brian loves adventure!!!
That's the "lake" behind me.
Nolan pretty much never wanted to leave the beach once we got him playing in the sand and water. We packed a lunch and ate on the water...fantastic!!!
