Memorial Day

The really quick version of the weekend is that is was an amazing roller coaster of emotions for me. The car is having issues again and it's not cheap (like somehow it would be?) and then I saw cows and they were close enough to pet!!!! Fun fact about Val is that she really LOVES cows. I really can't explain why, but they make me happy. I love the black and white ones the best and that is the kind that live in my Sister-In-Law's backyard!

Who cares about USDA choice, this one is MY choice!

Of course, this one was really pretty too.

Also friendly! That tongue is like sandpaper.

Eryn ran out in her pjs and was saying, "Here snipie snipie." and clapping like the little boy in UP. The cows loved it! All 3 of them cam over to see us. When I told her they were cows and not snipes, she started saying, "Here cowie cowie cowie." You probably had to be there to hear it from her, but it was really funny!

I was so excited to see the cows that I didn't even worry about getting officially dressed for the day.

She really could swing all day if someone was there to push her.

Brooke was deep in thought.

She decided she was either tired or hungry. This is what we call, "the hungry elephant."

Grandpa stopped pushing and got a tantrum! How dare you Grandpa. Ha ha.

Brooke and Shaylie shared a swing.

Chance and Sarah's neighborhood just finished a full court basketball court in their park. So, we had to test it out. It is slippery concrete. Thankfully, no knees were injured in the playing of this game.

Sam just generally looks confused when we're not playing football.

Go Defense! Just watch the other team score and wait for 'em to come back.

Chance's cousin Eric played with us too. He and his girlfriend hung out with us all and played games late on Sunday night. It was really fun. The more tired you are the harder it is to play games that involve logic, strategy, and memory.

After a long day of being the solo grandparent at this event Grandpa had to take a little snooze in honor of Grandma who would have taken a nap if she was there. He he he...

Grandma is waiting patiently with Tammy who is ready to have our second nephew at anytime!!!

Another fun family filled holiday in the books. This one went off well and without much injury. The girls played with their princess shoes, the tiny girls were happy to mooch food from their aunts and uncles, and the rest of us all just had fun playing and hanging out. This was a great way to kick off summer and to kick Andrew out of the house for 2 years! (He went to the MTC this afternoon to go to learn Korean and serve his mission in CA.)
