Memorial Day Weekend

Let the non-stop fun begin! The Stewards came out to stay a few nights and celebrate Memorial Day weekend with us and I really don't think there was ever any downtime! We had an amazing weekend and feel so blessed to have gotten to spend time with so many of our closest friends! The boys absolutely love getting donuts for breakfast, sleeping on the pallet, ordering pizza, and playing til way past their bedtimes! But hey, only four days til summer starts!!! Might as well get a little practice in right?!

Day 1
Our friends let us use their pool while they were out of town so we took the Stewards over and invited the Helms' family too! You can't beat being able to use an outdoor kitchen and swim in a private pool! The little ones did so good swimming!
"Big Jon" gets the fun jobs!

Jon, Austin, Caiden, and "Big Jon"

The perfect trio(s)!

Day 2
On Sunday, we were invited over to a crawfish boil with some friends who always celebrate New Years Eve with us. It was SO hot outside-thank goodness for canopies, good food, and clouds!
Caiden, Austin, and Addi ran around for four hours in the backyard splashing from one pool to another, playing in the sprinklers, and jumping on the trampoline! They took a break every once in awhile for a quick bite to eat but not much else slowed them down! As soon as they went in to cool off and watch a movie, Caiden crashed. And, the rest of the evening was pretty much a goner~we just can't get away without a nap!
Even though I was scared about eating the crawfish (I hadn't had any since past trips through LA on Spring Break at least 8 years ago!) I decided to go for it! Man, was it worth it-and I haven't gotten sick yet! No more shellfish this week though!
The crawfish before they went into the pot!

They needed a summer cool-down treat~SnOw CoNeS!

Day 3
We took the kiddos to the pool Monday morning right when the it opened and Austin and Caiden both went down the slide like champs! The were so worn out from the weekend we only swam for an hour but that was good enough!
Not scared of the big ones anymore...so lucky this is across the street from us!
Swimming with Grandma and the Stewards!

Looks like a lot of fun!!! I'm so ready for summer, late bedtimes, and camping outside.
