Story time

We had a visit this morning from "the blondes" and Tracey and GG decided to read some books to Emily. Nice book choice GG ;)

Memorial weekend and other fun adventures!

This year Memorial Day weekend was packed full of BBQs and picnics. We had a great time at my aunt and uncle's house on Saturday. Emily had fun playing basketball and picnicking with her cousin Max!

On Sunday we had out friends over for ribs. We met my parents for breakfast on Monday since it was my dad's birthday and followed that up with a BBQ at the Harrison's.

We've also had fun shopping for and planting new flowers, hanging out at Minnehaha Falls, babysitting one of Emily's friends and taking our first bike ride to the frozen yogurt place!

We had a great weekend and now I'm in the final countdown for this school year!

Fun filled weekend!

We packed this weekend full of low key fun! Emily got to hang out with Aunt Tracey and GG on Saturday while we went bed shopping for the little lady. We didn't find anything but Emily had fun at her "play date"! They took a walk to the nearby pond and saw some turtles, played Candyland and did some coloring - what a fun morning!

After her nap, Emily and I went on a bike ride to the park. She watched a little baseball and played at the playground. She can spend so much time at the park!

Today Emily, Patrick and I went on a bike ride to the park where we spent some more time flying our kite as well as playing. Since it went right in to lunch time we decided to go to a local bar for lunch. We soaked up the rays and warm weather while enjoying lunch on their patio. It was a fun weekend full of bike rides and playgrounds! Let summer begin!!

Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day and I am so thankful for the mothers in my life. My mom and Patrick's mom are such loving mothers and grandmothers and I couldn't ask for more!

I am also thankful that I get to be Emily's mother and feel lucky every day that she is in our lives!

This weekend was all about moms. On Saturday we spent the day with my mom garage saling, playing at parks and enjoying a BBQ that Patrick and uncle Pat made! Emily also enjoyed her first popsicle :)

We spent Sunday at the Harrison's with brunch. Emily gave me a kite for Mother's Day so her and I could spend time flying it together. It was a great gift and we had its inaugural flight today as well!

Cards with holes are great entertainment for Emily!

Hope you had a great weekend too!
