Memorial Weekend 2009

I thank God for the Men and Women who have bravely given their lives and who today sacrifice to fight for our freedom...it is because of our Armed Forces that we can enjoy beautiful weekends!
We had a great weekend...despite fighting some crazy sickness...God created a wonderful weekend that I so enjoyed :)
Sunday after church we had a last minute Bar B Que...it was lots of fun...and Ms. Desiree brought way tooooo much food ( I didn't have to cook tonight though...YEA) We had hot dogs and chicken and kabobs, and Kristen made a great green salad and a punch, we also had watermelon and baked beans, corn on the cob, ranch pasta salad and potato salad...YUMMY :) We had lots of fun, cooking and hanging out....God has blessed us with some really special friends.
Today we headed out to Virginia beach...it was our 1st time their, we usually just head to the creak up the way not to far. But I have so missed the beach being a "Cali Girl" so we headed out for the beach and it was really cool..lots of little shops on the boardwalk (I told John..I already have named and claimed a husband/wife getaway..so we can walk through them all...lol). The kids really enjoyed it..they are getting so big and brave out there fighting the waves...and I have so turned into one of those moms standing on the shore..."HONEY, THAT FAR ENOUGH...Boys, REALLY...OK...GET YOUR BUTTS BACK IN HERE!!! hahahaha not really...good thing John was there to keep me under control...lol We were really excited because there was a 50% chance of rain today and yet God held it back so we could enjoy a fun family day at the beach. we took my nephew Logan as well and he was so funny..he had ear plugs in so he couldn't even hear a word we were saying...the kids would just finally walk over grab his arm and pull him back to where he should be...fond time...great memories...it is these days I love being a wife and mom most!!! Tomorrow when I have to vacuum out the car and wash all those sandy clothes maybe a different story ;)
