Memorial Weekend Wrap up

It was so nice having Memorial weekend as our first weekend of summer.
We stayed busy!
We had karate class, and Payton was killing her turning round house kicks!

We went to a friends house to hang, while Chris was at Guys Night with our church.
We played outside and Jackson was kind and shared all his toys.

Dylan helped Rylan ride a tricycle.

Which he loved.

The kids had a fun time playing too.

And playing in the dirt.

Jackson had some fun toys that Rylan checked out.

My friend Rachel is such a cool mom.

She face painted the kids, "just because".
Here is Princess Twinkle the Owl.

And here is Prince Hooter the Owl.

Jackson was a tiger, which matched his shirt!

All together!
(Notice Dylan's arms are in his shirt to look like wings.)

Rylan learned a new trick.

(Fortunately Chris just showed me that he can also get down by himself too.)
Getting ready for church.

Such a silly girl.

Church!

It was hilarious watching Dylan read the instructions on how to play chess and try to teach himself and Payton.

We opted for a family game of Yahtzee instead.

I helped Payton play.

I had the kids draw pictures of some things they wanted to do this summer.
My favorites: the top one "Cooking with Momy" - Dylan
the top left one "Pillow Fight" - Payton

We went riding/hiking at Blankets Creek.
It was SO beautiful.
We covered 2 miles.

When we got home, the kids didn't even come in the house and they played outside for HOURS.
They were filthy when they were done.
I absolutely LOVE this picture of Dylan.
Such joy in his face.

See I told you, filthy!
This little guy is eating us out of house and home.
I'm not sure where he puts it all.
I got stung by a "horton" (that's what the kids call hornets).
OUCH!
Little man LOVES electronics.
He runs to Sasha in the morning to sit on her lap and play on her iPad.
He just might end up calling her Grandma iPad!
Here he is on Payton's computer.

Such a smart little boy!
So that was a glimpse of our Memorial Weekend.
It's nice to take a day to remember that our freedom isn't free, and that many men and women have lost their lives to protect our freedom!
