It’s been a great, relaxing Memorial Day weekend. While Blaine is back to work today, he did manage to get Saturday and Sunday off. And I was lucky enough to have a three day weekend! The weather has been gorgeous here and we took full advantage of that. We spent a day out at Fun Factory with the McIntier’s on Saturday and then enjoyed a date night later that evening, while my parents came over to watch the kids. Yesterday, after church and naps, we had a BBQ at our house with my parents, Ryan and Kim and Dale. It was so nice to be outside and enjoy the pool, play some baseball and of course eat ourselves silly!
Grayson (and Colbie now!) continue to search for and capture new bugs and critters! If you knew me, this is SO out of my element……you should see me do the ant dance! The things we do for our children! We’ve since found a bumble bee, a dragon fly, a lizard and a caterpillar.
We had fun making bird houses the other day for each of the kids. I got the idea out of Parents Magazine if any of you get that. Unfortunately, the birds haven’t caught on to their new pretty houses in our yard! Maybe I need a different food.
Grayson is getting quite comfortable on his bike these days. We’ve taken a few trips to the park recently, where he road the whole way there and back and around the park several times. I swear we just bought this bike for him (his 3rd birthday) and he already looks like a giant on it! Oh, and he insisted on wearing his backpack, carrying the duck food and his snacks!
I took these yesterday before church. They looked too cute together in their little coordinating outfits, so we took them to a nearby wheat field to snap a few shots!
These two are my favorites!
The gang at the BBQ yesterday.
Grayson is getting really strong in the pool. Lately, he’s ditched the floaties and likes to cruise around on his Spiderman “surfboard.” Today , we had a play date with Molly and Maggie and both Molly and Grayson did awesome swimming….several moments without us holding them. I feel like a couple more times like today and Grayson will be off and swimming completely on his own!
Playing with Aunt Kimmie and showing off her new itsy bitsy bikini! The past couple of weeks, Colbie’s vocabulary has really begun to explode. She attempts to repeat most anything you say now and while I don’t always understand her requests, we are actually starting to communicate with her! It is pretty cool!
Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday weekend!
