Memorial Day 2011

**********************Beware super long post ***********************

So there is soooo much to write about for Memorial Day weekend.  Friday we headed out to my parents lake house and went to dinner with my parents and my cousin and his family.  Tyler, his wife Jaime, and their 6 month old son Nolan were in town for their first family vacation.  After dinner we got back and my other cousin, Matt, his wife Claudia and their 4 month old son, Aaron came to visit.  We had so much fun playing with the little ones.  Sophia really enjoyed the boys and also LOVED playing mommy with her babies.

Sweet Sweet Sophia… such a good little Mommy… I know she is going to be a great  BIG SISTER!!

Saturday, Honey and Pops came, we hung around, made a yummy breakfast, went on several golf cart rides, which entail turtle hunts this time of year (don’t worry we don’t hurt them we just search for them,)  spent several hours in the pool, Sophia and Honey planted flowers, ate a yummy dinner, played and had bath time with Sophia and Nolan.  I didn’t think that I would be able to do two kiddos but after watching Nolan for a bit so Tyler and Jaime could pack, I know I am ready.

Sunday was a wonderful lazy day, lunch with the boys after golf, naps, a lazy river boat ride, and more pool time… and of course more turtle hunts.

Monday we couldn’t forget Sophia’s much anticipated trip to the beach and ocean… the lake.   She would stay down there for hours if she could… I just know she is going to be so much fun in Florida this year.

MMMM…. Pigtails and popsicles!

I don’t know why but I just adore this picture

And I just love this picture too!
