Memorial Day weekend 2015

We've had a really nice, LONG weekend.  

Friday:
We stayed in - grilled and just hung out.  

Saturday:

We got up and went to watch Jenna play tennis in Huxley.  It was interesting...  neither Ryan or I had ever really seen a tennis match.  Jenna did great - won her singles match.  It was fun to see.  The kids did pretty well - for keeping them quiet for almost 2 hours!  There was an open grassy area, so we played soccer a little to keep them busy. 

We got a quick lunch, then home to just hang out.  Cora took a short nap, Kayson and Ryan played hard in the backyard.  The new thing is 'kickball' for Kayson...  he's loving it.  

Saturday night we went to a graduation open house for one of Ryan's coworkers sons.  We visited with the family and Ryan's boss for awhile.  The kids did pretty well.  

Sunday:
We attended church, then home to do some cleaning, organizing and grocery shopping.  Trish and her family were coming for a visit - they got to our house around 4.  The kids were all in with playing with Kayson - basketball, kickball, everything.  They are so good with them.  We grilled kabobs and had a really good supper...  then more playing, then they headed home.  We actually got the kids to bed at a normal time (8ish) and Ryan and I just had a nice evening of relaxing... (should have worked in the basement, but we didn't!!!)

Today:
Memorial Day.  We got up (kids slept almost 12 hours!!!)...  headed down to Mt. Ayr to see Great Grandma Ann.  We haven't seen her in a long time, and today was the perfect day to go visit.  We had such a great visit with her...  the kids did awesome with her, Kayson actually talked!!  Cora sat on her lap.  Huge, I thought - for not seeing her often, and for her being older, kids sometimes just aren't comfortable.  But they did awesome.

We then went to visit Grandma Janis on our way home... Mike and JeanAnn met us there, we had lunch and let the kiddos play.   It ended up being a nice day out.  We also went to the cemetery to visit Papa Dick.  Again, just really nice to do this and give him some flowers.  Very memorable.

We headed home around 2:30... 

Tonight we've played more kickball... and had a quick left overs supper, and the kids were in bed early. 

It was a great little weekend...  now we have a big week ahead, a short one, but Ryan will be gone for a couple days, I'm having a garage sale with Nikki, and getting ready for our basement to be started on next week.  EEK!  :)

Eden and Cora playing...  she loved pedaling Eden around!
Some hoops!
by far, the sweetest thing ever right now.
