Memorial Day

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day. While so many people were getting up to enjoy the day I hope that you all stopped and said a little word of thanks for all of the men and women who have died for this country. I have said it before and I will say it again, always thank a soldier for what they do for us. The little things that we do everyday and take for granted are things that others have died to give to us. Thank you to all of the US military and to their families! My family and I appreciate all that you do.

Today we enjoyed a day on the lake. It was about as close to perfect. The weather was great, the kids had a blast, the company was great. Not only were we with family we were with friends. Terri, Steven and Alex came to visit us at the lake for the first time and minus the fish thinking Terri was a snack, and the bizarre bubbles I think that they all had a great time, I hope that they did anyway. Jessica, Nick, Kiersten, and Elliot also came to visit. This was not their first visit, but the first of the season. They all seemed to have a great time minus the tree appearing a little to close. I look forward to them all coming back and maybe Amy, Terry, Sasha, and Connor coming too. Brandon grilled some really good hamburgers and hotdogs. Thanks for those again baby! The kids seriously played till they were ready to pass out. We had a great time and we hope that they all did too! In fact Danny fell asleep before we left so getting him to the truck was fun and they were both asleep before the dirt met the pavement.

Well, I am off to bed to say that I am tired is an understatement. I have a lot to get done tomorrow and it starts early. I think we are headed back this weekend. I am super excited. I am also hoping to have a car again tomorrow, and that it is minus its many unique sounds. Before I go to bed I will be saying a prayer for all of you!

The unofficial summer kickoff day was a great one and I know that the rest of the summer will be too!
