Memorial Day reflections

We had a fun weekend! Sarah and I hit the memorial day yard sale and I give it a thumbs down! Either we were late or something because didn't find much we could live without! Oh well it was the experience right? Ha!

Adyson spent the night with us on Sat night and we had soomuch fun. They played on the slip and slide, went to watch Night at the Museum 2, made smores, and caught lightening bugs! If the weather would cooperate with all the plans I had it would have been better but the kiddos had a blast! Luke and Ady are connected at the hip! He was soooooooooooo happy to have her here and Lawson tried his hardest to keep up with them.

Sunday we didn't do much but Luke managed to keep his little butt with Ady so he spent the night there. Shyann went to spend the night with Madison so it just left Lawdogg to hang out with Cory and I. I finished another book and bought 2 more! Just wondering if I am addicted........surely not! No way just because I am reading about 2 every week in this series...........no way! :)

Today is Memorial day! Lawson and I went and had lunch with my Mom! Shyann is heading to the pool with Maddie and of course Luke is still hanging with Adyson. Lawson and I currently watching Alvin & the chipmunks for the 5th time this weekend! :) Cory has gone to golf with the guys so I have a little time to reflect on Memorial day!

Memorial day is a time you think of the sacrafices many have done for our country and loved ones you have lost! I always think of my Grandma! I loved her soo much. Her house was the one place that no matter how bad things were you ALWAYS felt better being there because you were loved no matter what! There is not a day that goes by that I do not want to tell her something even if it is something funny the kids have done. She would have really gotten a kick out of Luke's dry humor and of course how much he acts like my uncle Bob. I was very blessed to have her as my Grandma, bestfriend and above all my hero. It is weird to see pics of her when she was my age and Lawson tell me that it is me! My whole family says I act and look like her more than any of them and I take that as the highest compliement! I miss you Grandma more than anyone knows.

Cory and I lost one of our closest friends 13 months ago today! There is not a day goes by that I don't think about Aaron and all the fun times we had with him. He was truly one of a kind and it was never dull to be around him. I watch Mackinlee and Blair and I know how proud he is of them and how blessed they were for him to be there father. I can't see a Fedex Trunk and it not bring tears to my eyes.............We miss you so much. Even to this day if Mac and Shy are playing a sport when either have done something good or wrong I still find myself looking for him in the crowd so we can give each other that look and/or just smile and shake our head! He was always the life of the party and a wonderful friend to us! Gone but never forgotten!

Life is precious and none of us know how long we are here! Love your family and friends, forgive and Live it to the fullest! I am trying hard these days not to sweat the small stuff and just live my life! :) Much Love

I will end with a pic of the smores event! Fun times!
