"I thank God for my life, and for the stars and stripes.
May freedom forever fly. Let it ring.
Salute the ones who died,
The ones that give their lives,
so we don't have to sacrifice all the things we love."
Oh! Memorial Day, we meet again. The ultimate kickoff to summer and all things I love. Perfect combination. First, let's start off with saying how incredibly happy I am to be engaged to an amazing man. This weekend brought us closer together as we were reliving our memories together throughout the years on this weekend. Camping, canoeing, cookouts and last year at this time I was so huge and pregnant! It was fun to look back on the past couple of years together.
Memorial Day is all about remembering our fallen heroes who were devoted to serving our country & we can't forget about the ones who have, who still do and have yet to. So, thank you to my amazing man for serving our country and thank God for him making it home safe, to my cousin, in Afghanistan right now and praying that he makes it home safe as well. Thank you.
This year was better than any Memorial Day because our sweet baby girl was with us enjoying the sun and summer weather, corn on the cob and fruit tray. Lennon loved hanging out with family, playing in the grass and eating fruit. We enjoyed family time at a cookout at my Aunt & Uncle's on Sunday and a cookout with the in-law's and family at Dan's parents house on Monday. The weather was great, not too hot and no rain, thank goodness! We enjoyed some delicious food, I made a festive fruit tray and we picked up our ultimate fav. Summer Shandy. What a great weekend...
[Enjoy the weekend in photos!]
My festive red shellac I did all my myself... woo-hoo!
Red Shellac - Find it HERE
My festive fruit and veg tray!
who would have thought?
That place is seriously my new holiday go-to!
We have been searching for that
thirst-quenching-gotta-have-delicious-beer all year and finally,
we found our fav.
A little taste of summer in every sip,
Hey, I should totally write their slogan!
Summer Shandy, mm.mmm.mmmm.
Lennon enjoyed the summer days,
Playing in the grass...
Look at that little ruffle butt... OMG!
Children's Place, whatuppp? $5.00!
I enjoyed some Mommy & Daughter time.
Time with my aunts and uncles and all my little cousins!
And Lennon spent time with her
Great-Great Grandma Eaves!
Next it was off to the in-laws house...
Lennon played outdoors with her toys,
The dogs and family time!
Lennon and I got a great picture together,
thanks to Dan-Dan-ThePhotographer?
He rocks!
Lennon rocked the coolest shirt ever,
her "My Dad is Totally Awesome" shirt.
Just for her totally awesome dad on
our totally awesome Memorial Day!
Thanks for being awesome, Dad.
:)
I have to say, this was by far the best.
Our first Memorial Day together as a family.
I cannot wait for many more to come.
Especially holidays in the summer,
warm weather and holidays that celebrate our Country!
Ammmmerricaaa,
We love you.
