Memorial Day and Family Week!

Last week was wonderful. We had lots of family time and visitors.

Memorial Day we had both Mike's family and my parents and sister's family over for a BBQ. The kids played on every wheeled toy we own and Mike set up a net for volleyball and badminton in the back.

We also got out the frisbee, batting tee, and every other yard game we could think of. It was a fun day!

Auntie Em and cute little Jaymison got to stay with us for 5 DAYS while Ren went home to work. She was also here to see our new baby nephew, but I'm afraid we hogged her! 

We went to lunch at Wild Zucchini Grill (yum!), went on a walk, played at a park, and played outside a lot. They enjoyed our temperatures, since it's 100 in Mesa where they live!

While Auntie Em was here our butterflies came out of their cocoons. It was fun to play with them and watch them fly away.

  

We tried out the bike trailer with Jake for the first time. Our bike ride lasted as long as Jake survived Ty's badgering.
 

It makes me happy when everybody plays on the playset. Ty likes to push Jake in the swing, and Maddie likes to take him down the slide.

Emily and I even tried the monkey bars and the trapeze. They are harder than they used to be! But sometimes it's fun to be carefree like a kid. Mike took this embarrassing picture of me but I want to remember that I let my hair down.

There's nothing like a warm summer night.
