Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend we went out to the farm to celebrate Grandma June's birthday and for Mikell and Kylie's babies blessings. On Saturday we went to Charles house for Grandma's surprise birthday party. It was a bit chaotic and crazy but fun to visit with the Barlow side of the family. Since it was crazy full at Bob and Alison house Kefford and I stayed the night at Jeremy's house. It was nice and quiet and I really enjoyed visiting with the two of them. On Sunday we went to church and witnessed baby Jason and baby Amelia being blessed by their Dads. They did a really great job and helped bring an awesome spirit to the meetings.
After church we were able to stay for lunch and visit some more with family. I snapped this picture of Ryker and Bailey loving on their cousins Caleb and Evelyn. These big boys are so cute with their little cousins and I love how Asher is always hanging around with them when he is around, they have a sweet bond with him.
Kefford always likes seeing his little nieces and nephews and I took a couple of pictures of him playing trains with Asher and Xander.

We got home that night and the next day we spent a lot of time at our community pool. When we were house hunting I told Kefford that either the house we bought had to have a pool or the community needed to have one. As fun as it would be to have our own backyard pool I am glad that we ended up with the community one, it is nice to have someone else in charge of the up keep. 
At some point in the day Kefford told me one of his High School buddies had invited us over for a barbecue and swimming in his backyard pool. Kefford, Kenedy and I opted out of swimming but Kenedy regretted not bringing her swim stuff when she saw their cool pool. The kids had a ton of fun jumping off the rock into the pool.




Rylee set up the doughnut float under the jumping rock so that she could jump into it. She barely missed it the first time but then had success the second time!

We had such a fun weekend and it was really hard to get up the next morning with the school mindset. I am glad that we were able to spend so much time with family and friends!
