Memorial Day Weekend

Yea, it was a week ago, but I thought I would share a few photos from it. We went to Mike's mom's house for a bit on Monday. The kids swam of course, little fish. Layla isn't afraid of the water at all this year and hasn't been wearing water wings or anything. My kids usually start out the summer a little cautious of the water, and then warm up to it, but not this year. They were full speed ahead.

That morning, Mike woke me up saying him and Blake would be back. So, with Layla curled up next to me, I went back to sleep. When I woke up again, they were home, and had started this:

Fixing up the flower beds! Here is a close up of one of the latest Zinnia's to bloom.

Probably the best thing about this weekend though, was Blake finally mastering the bike without the training wheels! We told him that as soon as he got good he could get a new bike. So yesterday after work, we took him to Walmart and he picked this one out.

Needless to say, it's been a week full of bike riding, and no signs of slowing down. She was pretty peeved that she didnt get a new bike, but she seems interested in trying it without the training wheels. (Notice the apron?)

He's already popping wheelies, although I haven't managed to get a good picture yet.

See ya soon!
