Memorial Day 2015

It was so nice to have Monday together after a busy weekend with the wedding.  We all slept in and then JJ and I took turns going to the gym.  We went to our church BBQ for lunch and had a nice time visiting with families there.  The kids played some baseball and had a fun time playing on the playground.  Nolan loves the little playground areas and love to go down the slide on his belly.  After we got home from the church BBQ we headed over to the pool.  It seems so weird to have the pool open since it hasn't been that hot lately.  The kids were so excited and didn't care that the water was freezing.  It was fun to see Nolan discover and explore the water and different things at the pool.  I'm glad we have a zero entry pool so that he can go in and out easily.  
Lucy and Garrett saw friends from school and jumped right in to swim with them.  JJ stayed with them and they had fun swimming and diving for things.    
 
After we got done swimming we headed over to my parents house.  Since we have family in town we wanted to hang out with them.  We took over our bounce house so the cousins could jump and play on it.  They were so excited and had such a fun time!  They were really happy we brought it over. 
The weather was so nice it was fun to sit in the shade and visit while the kids played.  It's fun to see Courtney!  We miss her a lot since she lives far away, she doesn't get to come back as often.  She loved holding Nolan's hands and walking around with him.  
We ordered pizza for dinner and had left over ice cream treats from the reception.  We wanted to celebrate Garrett's birthday with them since it was the next day.  We stuck a candle in his ice cream and sang to him.
The kids love celebrating birthdays and sing with such enthusiasm.  I think it is so fun, Garrett loved it too! 

Grandma and Grandpa got a new swing, Nolan crawled over and sat under it until someone put him in it and pushed him.  I love sweet Nolan!
We brought all the presents outside to open since it was so nice. 
Garrett was so cute reading all the cards.  He got so many fun gifts and everyone was so nice to think of him.  The Wrights got him a new Lego sticker book and a Batman story book.  Kelsey got him a tube of superhero activities.  It has coloring pages, crayons and stickers.  The Hughes got him a Frisbee, some M&MS and a coloring book.  Grandma and Grandpa Rahm got him a new pair of shorts with two shirts and a Pokémon binder to put his pages of cards in.  He loves everything and was so excited about playing with it all.

It was a fun day together and we were able to fit a lot of fun things in!
