Busy Memorial Day

This morning Sean took the boys to swim with the Stitelers while Asher slept and I got a shower. Then we headed over to Sean's cousin Laurie's and her husband Mike's house for a going away party for Sean's brother Chad and his wife who are moving to New York. Laurie and Mike's 2 year old Ellie was so excited about the boys coming. They say she's just loves baby Asher and prays for him every night all on her own. So cute. Ellie and Boston enjoyed swimming in the little pool.
Dallas liked playing with the rubber frog, swinging and playing with the little animals in the tent with mommy. We enjoyed some food and ice cream cake and good company.
Dillard came with us and hung out in the back yard and did great. Although once when she was off the leash to go to the bathroom she got confused where she was and ran the other direction and Sean chased after her.
Dallas and Ellile really liked playing together too. They seem to enjoy the same kinds of things. Here they were playing their own game of opening and closing their legs and eating crackers. Too funny! Then we headed over to the lakehouse since it was so close and Uncle Hess had blown up all these fun toys. The boys really got a kick out of them. And especially the HUGE dog his friends had out. The boys actually thought it was a bear. Can't remember what kind of dog but I do remember it weighed 180 lbs!!! At one point my dad saw Dallas standing over in the grass alone and he asked what was wrong. Dallas replied, "I'm scared of that bear over there." LOL

Dallas jumping on the trampoline in the water with Uncle HessBoston sliding down the water slide with Uncle HessDillard taking a break with Sean. She loves to lay on her back anywhere.

We came home and I was exhausted and Sean went to the movies with our neighbor John. After not being able to sleep because of my cold I finally watched "Becoming Jane" Good movie throughout but hated the ending. Don't you hate that when the ending ruins the whole movie. Ugh. Anyhow...fun busy day.

And happy to say my dad served in the Army for 20 years with 2 tours in Vietnam. So proud that he's my dad!!
