We went to my parents house for a BBQ on Sunday. The food was delicious, and the kids enjoyed playing with their cousins.
We made smores by the fire pit. Landon enjoyed them!!

Carter was fascinated with the trees and loved pulling on the branches.
I had my kids all dressed in Red, White, and Blue today at church in honor of Memorial Day and to show our support for all those who have served our country and lost their lives fighting to keep us a Free Country! God Bless our Troops and the USA! I did a mini-photo shoot with Cristian while he was in the mood... here are my favorites. Cristian #1

We have really lucked out with nice weather this spring baseball season. One game it kinda sprinkled, but the rest have been sunny. Here are Ava and Grampie watching Cristian and his team the Red Rattlesnakes.

Team cheer at the end of the game
One of the mom's filled up dozens of water balloons so the kids could have a little fun with their coaches. You can see a water balloon bouncing off of Coach's back in this picture.
The kids loved every second of it... water balloon fights are always FUN!!
