Happy Memorial Day

We just got from a fantastic Memorial Day celebration at the lakehouse...and if you can believe it...I did not get my camera out one time. I must have been on a subconcious picture overload after my Boston trip. But, it was so great to hang out with family. Mendy's brother Ryder came and Ben's cousins the Pucketts. Their whole family was in town from St. Louis for a Memorial Day vaca in Texas....who wouldn't right!? Cheryl's sister, Suzanne, her husband, Jim, who Kinley calls Jimmy or Jim-Bo and their 4 girls, Gina and triplets Laura, Jessica, and Rebecca. The girls are just the most beautiful, sweet and fun girls ever. It is always so fun to see them and spend time with them. They all played with Kinley so much and made such an effort to get to know her. That is the key to this mom's heart. We don't see them very much and since we did Christmas with them this past year...we are not scheduled for Christmas with them until 2012. So, they were joking that Ty will already be almost a year and a half before they meet him if we don't come visit....craziness! We will have to make that happen.

Anyway, the weekend was relaxing and so fun and these are the only pics I got on my phone. Kinley was supporting freedom of dress in her own little Elton John look-alike outfit.


I hope you guys had a fantastic Memorial Day and got to relax with some family and celebrate such a wonderful holiday that commemorates all who fight and serve our country. I am so thankful for all sorts of freedoms that we have (even if it is crazy clothes).
