our memorial day weekend.

First of all, while it's super fun to lay around all day basking in the sun and spending time with family, I did take some time to remember those who gave it all fighting for my freedom and giving me the right to lay around all day basking in the sun. I'm hugely proud of my very military family and thankful to all who have served and continue to serve. So a huge thank you to our military and to the families of those who served but never came home. Their sacrifice is everything.

Now, some pictures huh?

Saturday my grandparents and aunt came up to spend the weekend with us. BG was super excited to have new people to play with. I was super excited to have new people to pawn her off on entertain her for a bit.

We headed into town that afternoon to look around Buy Buy Baby (pink puffy heart) and eat at Mimi's Cafe. So good. Aside from the fact that little Miss was on a big time nap strike, she was on her best behavior and charmed everyone at the place. No idea where she got that social butterfly gene from...


Sunday morning we took my grandmother and aunt to the church here in town we've been visiting. After church, we picked up my granddad and hit up lunch at another local place here in town. The food was amazing. I seriously can't wait to go back.

We stopped on the way home at Target to get BG a pool for the back porch. Best ten dollars ever spent. She loves it. Of course we also picked up this big purple ball which she loved until she missed face planting into it and hit the floor.

That was fun.





We spent the rest of the afternoon watching the kid splash around in her new pool. I took about three million pictures because there is nothing cuter than a chubby, little baby in an adorable suit and a water logged diaper. If you think there is, well, you might want to scroll down quickly. ;)













Sunday was also my aunt's birthday so we of course had to get a big 'ol ice cream cake for the occasion. Man. I love me some ice cream cake.

Before they headed out of town Monday morning, we met up for a quick breakfast to see them off.

We spent the rest of the day napping, sunning, and eating. For some reason Mr. P sent me to the store for ribs where I wandered up and down the meat counter for an hour sending him texts with pictures of different cuts of meat. I still didn't end up with what he wanted, but it was delish so whatever.

This little diva is as big a fan of being outside as her Mama is. I can pretty much predict what we'll be doing the rest of the summer.

Sigh.. I am SO glad it's summertime!
