Memorial Day Weekend

Grammy and Grand-Dad came up for Memorial Day weekend. It was a gorgeous weekend and we had lots of fun outside! We saw my cousin Daryl and his wife Ashley and their daughter Claire who were visiting Uncle Dan and Aunt Dorothy but I somehow managed not to get any pictures. Bmmer! Anyhoo... we purchased this little pool on clearance the end of last summer and Reagan has been asking to get it out ever since. She was very excited to learn it was warm enough to finally use it! All three kids had a fabulous time playing in the pool and fountain!Jackson was completely fascinated by the fountainDaddy afraid to touch Jackson because he thinks he's so sweet he might melt if he gets wet. Poor Jackson!!!My precious baby boy! Love this picture!!!!! :)The fountain created a couple of rainbows but I had such a time getting the girls positioned so I could get a picture of them with/under it. Kennedy wanted to run run run, slide slide slide and was not interested in the least in stopping for picture taking.Reagan was interested in getting her picture taken under the rainbow I just had a hard time getting her to understand where I wanted her to sit. If all else fails, just go right ahead and slide right under the rainbow!Silly, upside down Missy K! :)The many faces of Missy Reagan. I'm not sure exactly how this began but Reagan wanted me to take pictures of her making different faces. So Mom and I would shout an emotion and Reagan would make the face for me to take a picture of. It was pretty funny and cute. So, with no further ado here is Missy Reagan's "Happy" face! :)Grumpy...Excited!!! Surprised!!!Scared!!!So mad...So sad...I wish I could remember what we asked her to do in this one. I think it was something like wishful or sweet. What a face in anycase! Precious Crazy!Crazy/Silly poseSince Kennedy is a little Miss "Monkey See Monkey Do" she had to do some faces for me as well. lol :) Here is her grumpy face...Sweet SmileSad Face...My crazy girls posing together! lol :)Kennedy insisted Grammy (specifically and only Grammy) check and see if she was poopy. She wanted to be upside down in this position for the checking. I have absolutely no idea why. She is such a crazy little nut!Kennedy has such a wonderful and exuberant "Ta Da!!!" when she has done something she is proud of. I believe she was spinning like a ballarina here and very proud of herself as you can see from the "Ta Da!" she is shouting.Love my baby girl and her sweet smiles! :)Grand-Dad cut down some branches and then had the great idea of giving the girls a ride on the pile of them. Such a cool and fun idea!!! :)Love all these smiles! I'm not sure who was having the most fun!Mini Grand-Dad hard at work... :)Ready for bed???Reagan and Kennedy have been wanting to try Gelatto since reading about it in an Olivia book. Reagan especially can't wait to visit Italy now but Daddy said she has to get a job to pay for the trip first. :) We saw some in the store and Grammy decided we should try it out. Unfortunately it tasted nothing like the real thing but the girls didn't know the difference and loved the special treat! We decided to do a mini/easy cookout over the fire pit with hotdogs on Memorial Day. We also had some fresh fruit and Kennedy loved the Watermelon!My sweet boy enjoying the outside and time with Daddy :)Jackson helping Grand-Dad and Grammy with their hotdogsGrammy purchased these "Jumbo" marshmellows for us to try on our Smores. They are enormous but I really like the way they work!Grand-Dad and Jackson (who has only a Graham Cracker) enjoying dessert togetherGrammy and Grand-Dad couldn't leave before we had our "traditional" Root Beer Floats. Dad claims we always had these for Memorial Day but none of the rest of recall it. Whatever the case we re-started the "tradition" last year and carried it on for a second year with great enjoyment by all! :)

Thank you Grammy and Grand-Dad for coming up for the weekend and helping us have so much fun! :)
