Memorial Weekend

We had a very busy weekend. It started with a trip to the zoo on Friday with Brandy and Tyler. I wasn't sure how it would go by myself with the two kids. It went surprisingly well though. Luckily, Sawyer is much lower maintenance than his big sister. The kids had a great time watching the butterflies and playing on the playground.

Saturday was Audrey's actual birthday. My mom and dad came over for lunch and my mom brought Audrey a cake. I think she liked the cake better than any of her presents. In case you are wondering, Audrey is really 3. My mom likes to put in an extra candle, one to grow on. Then my dad and Ben started in on the projects of the deck and play structure.

I put in a picture of the beginning of our deck, not much to look at yet, but we'll see in a few weeks. Ben is also working on Audrey's play structure. I didn't put a picture of that on the blog because there isn't much to see yet. You'll have to watch for future posts. I'm just hoping these two projects don't take up the whole summer.

On Sunday we had a little BBQ here with our neighbors, Brandy and Brad and Sean and Stephanie. The kids had fun running around and playing outside, since it finally got warm here. There is a picture of the three kids dancing to Five Little Monkeys.

On actual Memorial Day, Ben spent a lot of time working on the play structure and starring at the deck. He did get the major board drilled into the house though, a little scary since the have to drill into the foundation of the house. It was very warm here today, over 80. Audrey enjoyed running through her bug sprinkler, one of her b-day presents. Sawyer enjoyed examining the grass and trying to eat it. He is really trying to crawl now. I'd say another month and he'll really be going.

I hope you all had a great long weekend. I put in a couple bonus pics of Sawyer just because I think they are cute. Aunt Emily got him the awesome Spartan outfit and it's finally warm enough for him to wear it!
