Memorial Day Weekend

I can't believe that it is already Monday night! This weekend flew by. Probably because we worked on the bathroom for a majority of it. We finished laying the tile on Saturday night. On Sunday we attempted putting in the new toilet and sink. Needless to say, we ran into a few hiccups and will be reattempting later this week. Something to do with the wax ring???!!!

Gracyn got her first set of golf clubs! Grandpa J is so proud. Her swing needs a little work, but her form is flawless! We hit the sprinkler on Saturday to cool off in the 90 degree weather. Gracyn was not so sure of the crazy caterpillar sprinkler head! On Sunday we headed over to the Heggerick's for a Memorial Day BBQ. Baby Katie is already getting so big. Gracyn also met a new friend to hang with, Jake! On Monday we ended the weekend with a BBQ at John and Julian's house. We played a little Wii Bowling, our first time, and ate some delicious cheeseburgers.

The highlight of the weekend was the toilet box. Both Gracyn, daddy, and Abe spent many moments in that box this weekend!!!

Notice the bite mark on Gracyn's left arm.....someone from her class took a big bite.....ahhhh the joy of being in the toddler room!

Exhausted!

It started out with innocently checking out the pot and literally seconds later..... a dirt pie for a snack! There is absolutely NO break for mom and dad at our house. Gracyn is getting brave and is not afraid to try anything out! We are exhausted!

We were very busy this weekend with home improvements. Luke finished laying the sod in our backyard last weekend and watered and fertilized today. We also started another big project, our bathroom. Since the housing market is so depressing, and it looks like we are not moving anytime soon, we decided to remodel our bathroom. We took out the sink, vanity, toilet, and linoleum. We then painted and prepped the floor to tile. We hope to finish within the next few weeks. Stay tuned........

Gracie and I also walked to the pool after I painted to cool off. We then headed to the Miller household for some smoked brisket and sweetcorn! Sarah and Gracie loved it!!! Lindsey served cookie desert to complete the evening!

Again.....we are exhausted.....have a great week!

Happy Mama's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Or as Gracyn would say Mama's D. We had a fun filled weekend of activities to celebrate motherhood. On Friday, Gracyn's school had a Mother's Day breakfast which included a dance party as you can see from the photo's below. Gracyn made me a photo box that says MOM! So cute! She is starting to talk like crazy...ball.....mine.....bird....bubbles.......kitty......more......NO! Saturday we hit the beach with our neighbors to enjoy the record breaking high in Ft. Lauderdale of 95 degrees!! On Sunday, I woke up to a hand made card, complements of Dada that said MAMA!! Inside was a full agenda of the Mama Day events. I woke up to french toast and strawberries, not to mention freshly brewed coffee! We then headed to Jonathan Dickenson State Park for a picnic and hike. Luke is in the kitchen right now, slaving away making me homemade spaghetti. I also need to mention that Luke also sodded the entire backyard, all 500 square feet of it, on Saturday morning. We feel so lucky to have such a wonderful little family. We hope you all enjoyed your Mama's Day as much as we did!
