Memorial Day Weekend

Our Memorial Day weekend was full of family, sunshine, food, relaxing, and so much fun. Chuck usually works Saturdays, but didn't this weekend, and it was so nice to have him home for three whole days after his trip away. While we didn't get too many household projects knocked off our to-do list, we did have some much needed fun. 

Friday afternoon my mom took off work and we went flower shopping. It was SO hot outside, so we didn't spend much time or get too many flowers, but we visit the greenhouses several times throughout the summer

 Saturday we just hung around at home relaxing. Sunday we had our Memorial Day picnic at my mom and dads house and we ate delicious picnic food, played with all the cousins, and put Lola in the pool for the first time. She had no expression what so ever. Just a complete straight face the entire time, no matter what we did. She either had no idea what to think of it, or was too cold in the water to smile. Either way she looked ADORABLE in her swim suit and mommy had fun splashing with her.

We went back over to my parents house Sunday for more swimming. Lola still didn't budge with many smiles, but I think she had slightly more fun in the sun.

I fried my shoulders, because once you become a mom you worry about making sure every square inch of your baby is slathered in sunscreen and forget to even bring sunscreen for yourself. Oh well, I'm glad this skin finally got to have some sun touch it!

We spent the rest of Sunday at home in our own backyard, grilling pork loins and left over veggies, and swinging in Lola's new swing.

I never forget what Memorial Day is all about. I feel forever indebted to those who make the ultimate sacrifice for us to have amazing weekends like this. Our freedom is not celebrated in vain. Home of the free, because of the brave.

Hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.

The Weekend Update

Our weekend was going to be just staying in hanging out, since all three of us were under the weather. We did a lot of lounging, and I was even able to take a one hour nap in the middle of the day Saturday, thanks to my sweet hubby for holding down the fort while I snoozed some sickness away. We just cuddled and stayed warm Saturday, and then hubs made us a steak and crab leg Valentines dinner!

Sunday we were feeling better, and decided to do a last minute festive little breakfast. We invited my parents over and Lola loved watching us eat donuts in front of her. Not.

Then we had a photoshoot so we can always remember Lo's first Valentines Day. I can't even handle how sweet she looks in this photo. I'm so happy with how it turned out. 

My funny Valentine 

It's sort of a long running joke about how many pillows we own. I'm a little obsessed with changing out our pillow cases all the time, and there may be threats made every time I buy another pillow or pillow cover. So when Chuck gave me my Valentines Day present, I basically fell over. How adorable are these pillow cases? I just love him

We try and visit Lola's great grandma as many Sunday's as we can. She seriously can put her to sleep in minutes from wide awake to completely passed out. We call it "grandmas touch". And the two of them together make my heart so pure and full.

We finished out the weekend the BEST way. By watching the new episode of The Walking Dead! Anybody else have a heart attack every five seconds last night? Can't handle the suspense! Hope you all had a great cozy Valentine's Weekend! Now bring on spring!!!!!
