Happy Memorial Day!

The week went by QUICK and then our Memorial Weekend was spent with Grandpa Roger and Grandma Pat.  Thanks for visiting, Grandma and Grandpa!  We hope all of our family and friends were able to spend the weekend with those they care about and were able to honor our Veterans.
We had gorgeous weather (if a little on the warm side) and now we just need a little rain to water the garden that Daddy planted!

Another great game of T-ball on Thursday.
Addie and Coach running the bases.


Team huddle after the game.


Slapping hands and telling the other team "good game."


Coach giving the kids a few instructions.


Grandpa Roger and Grandma Pat arrived Friday afternoon.  The kids were SO excited.  Last Sunday the kiddos kept asking HOW much longer until Grandma ad Grandpa get here?!!?




The kids opening a few cards.  Grandpa and Grandma were so impressed with the "graduation" photos for Ayson that they printed a few copies for us to have...thank you!


Hi Gianna!!!


Ah, Saturday afternoon pool time!


Addie was so wiped out after playing hard all day, that she slept her way through dinner :)




Cuddles with Grandpa


Addie got her second wind and helped Daddy plant flowers..she watered the flowers with the pool soaker!


Smores!


On Sunday (Saturday too), Daddy worked like a machine in the yard and gardens.


After a bit of morning gardening, Mommy and the gang went to Labrador Unique area for lunch and a bit of fishing.


Mommy had to bait the hooks for Ayson but then Ayson grew brave enough to bait his own hook. Awesome!


Casting.


Playing!


Awe!


Ayson found a "clam" shell in the pond.  Great find, Big Guy!


After the fish nibbled away most of the worms, we went for a walk in on the boardwalk at Labrador.
Cheese!


Mumma and her babies


Grandma and Grandpa


Then on to Tinker Falls.


The kiddos playing on the rocks and in the water.


The boys walking back together...TOO cute!



AAANNDDD...Daddy was STILL working :) Daddy got ALL of the mulching/weeding done, planted flowers, and prepped the garden AND smoked two racks of ribs!!!!


Then a repeat of a fire and smores on Sunday night!

We went to the Memorial Day Parade Monday morning.


Gianna came with us and helped the kids get candy (and stay safe while doing it).  Thanks, Gianna!


We then went to Skaneatles for a little water and beach fun and lunch.
Daddy and Mommy both realizing, while looking at the shore, that the swim area (and beach) is not open yet.  Luckily, the kids did not get all bent out of shape over this!

Grandma and Grandpa gave the kids a few summer time gifts: an outdoor chalk drawing kit and a sand art kit.  Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!!!


A bit of school work:
Mommy loves the school work where Ayson has to draw the picture and name it!


A story that Ayson had to illustrate (the name of the story is "Bringing Down the Moon)
