Memorial Day (Weekend)

We decided to take full advantage of the 3 day weekend. Trevor's little sister graduated Thursday night, and between parties, family dinners, and hiking, we didn't have much down time. Brooklyn didn't make it to bed before 9 all weekend but she had so much fun. The older she gets, the more curious she gets and the more she loves the world around her. Being outside so much made for one happy girl.

Yesterday, on Memorial Day, we woke up early and drove the 20 minutes to get the best donuts in town. That was followed by a perfect pool day with our good friends the McCabes and some serious house cleaning. That night we had a going away party for two of our good friends, the Reeses and Gross'. It was so much fun to have so many good friends together, but so sad to think they are leaving. I didn't take any pictures, I have no idea how I forgot. Emi- if you have some, send them my way. We are so sad to see the Gross' go to Oklahoma and are going to miss having them a stones throw away. Brooklyn will miss harassing Owen and definitely miss his carseat that seems to be her favorite thing. We are excited to meet in Dallas this fall and visit them, that is, once we forgive them for leaving us :)

It was such a fun weekend, but Brooklyn and I are definitely excited to do a whole lot of nothing today and to not drive anywhere! I am grateful for Memorial Day so we can celebrate all of the wonderful heroes that have served and are serving our country. You truly are heroes.

Brooklyn loved Grandpa Winston this weekend and kept asking for him.

 Brooklyn had her first donut (only the healthiest for our little one)

 and she loved it and kept signing "more"
 This is what she looked like Sunday after a long weekend 
 My mom bought her a new north face hat (the only one she will keep on her head)

Such a fun day at the pool!

 And now finally time to clean my house and watch this all day. Bliss.
With Skippy at her Graduation, congrats Tay, we love you!
