Memorial Day Weekend

I narrowed down the 234 pictures I took over MD weekend to just 36. Here are they are:



Thursday night we went to a Mariners game. Everyone was in town! Jake, from Utah.
Meri, Dustin and Tanner from Kentucky. The only one's who didn't make it were the twins. They got to stay home with a babysitter.





Our family spent the night up at Jeff and Lesha's house after the game because we were all heading to the Temple again the next day. Jake was going through for the first time and we were all so happy he was doing it up here with all of his family. D.J. was amazing and watched all 6 of his nieces and nephews outside on the Temple grounds. Thanks, Douglas!


Our family went home that night, after a fun dinner with everyone. We packed up Saturday morning and headed out to the cabin. The kids are always the first in the water. They don't seem to notice how cold it is. Anna was especially brave, wanting to show off her swimming skills. She LOVES her swimming lessons. I think it is a sport she will continue in.







Tanner loved the water so much. Most babies cry when exposed to the freezing water, but he didn't seem to mind it at all. He is such a cutie. It was great to spend lots of time with him.



Dustin just loves the dogs, especially when they jump all over him and get his allergies starting up. Brandon and I think that we will have to get a dog, just to make Dustin happy when he visits. We already have a cat and lots of Clariten on hand. :)





Yep, Evan on a barbie bike. I don't care if it is pink. He had a blast and could only drive this small one.
We camped in the tent so that the cabin wouldn't feel too crowded. We had a blast, but the first morning Riley woke us up by saying, "Mommy, I feel like I'm going to be sick." Luckily for us, he sat up and vomited in the one spot that had nothing on it. He was so brave and asked to go home so he wouldn't get anyone else sick. He cried as we left the cabin. He got a fever later that day, but by Monday morning was just fine. Just a 24 hour thing, so we headed back to the cabin.



Anna, begging us not to leave the cabin. We all love it so much out there. We feel so blessed to have a special place to share with our family.
