A Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

We had a memorable Memorial Day weekend.

Saturday:  RT played in a soccer tournament and took Cole with him.  The first game was at 8:15 so Campbell and I had a "girls only" day.  We shopped and lunched together.  At lunch Campbell successfully used a fork for the first time.  Now she cannot eat a meal without a fork.  Then, we stopped by a friends BBQ before making it to daddy's 5:15 game.  Cole was having a blast.  He had made friends with other kids there and RT said he ran and played soccer all.day. long. We ate dinner with the team after the game and the kids and I came home for baths and bedtime.  Daddy still had two more games to play, one at 9:00 and one at 11:00!  They won their division in the tournament!! 

 Sunday:  We treated ourselves by having a donut breakfast.  We lounged around and then I went to get a pedicure.  It was so relaxing and my feet looked great....and then as I was leaving I was rear-ended in the parking lot.  Awesome.  I spent the rest of the afternoon dealing with insurance before we headed to a cookout at the Willis' house!  There was yummy food and great company!  Thank you for inviting us!  It was a great ending to a somewhat stressful day.

 Monday:  We picked up lunch and ate at my parents before jumping in the pool.  My parents weren't back from the lake yet so we had the pool all to ourselves for a couple of hours.  The kids swam and splashed and jumped their little hearts out.  My parents got home and Kori and Jon and Gray came over and there was more swimming and jumping before my dad grilled us the BEST burgers ever!

We are so blessed.  Thank you to our soldiers, past and present, for giving us the freedom we have today!  Because of you my family was able to have the weekend we had!

{I just have to note that Cole slept until 9:30 Tuesday morning!!!  This has NEVER happened! He was worn out!}

Sweet Summertime

I love Sundays!  Everything just slows down and I feel like I can breath.  Of course we spent the day swimming at my parents.  That is where you will find us for the next 3+ months.  We spent the entire day outside and my parents fixed us a steak, baked potato and roasted vegetable dinner!  It was a perfect day!

 Can you even stand the cuteness?!?!?!

 This face makes me so happy!

 Campbell LOVES water and is so happy when she is in the pool!

 Look at this sweet boy!

 This is Cole's favorite face right now.

 Babies chillin'

When we got home we watched the solar eclipse.  It was awesome!

1st Annual Muir Family Crawfish Boil

We hosted our First Annual Muir Family Crawfish Boil.  My husband was in heaven!  He became a crawfish lover in college after his Louisiana buddies introduced him to the crawfish boil.  He has been hooked ever since.  So, when we moved into our new house we knew we were going to put our huge backyard to good use and host {at least} one big party a year.  It was a no brain-er....a crawfish boil!

 {This is seriously the ONLY picture of Cole I got.  He was going 90 miles an hour all.day.long.}

 {Miss Campbell is not scared of anything.  I set a crawfish in front of her and she immediately picked it up and started playing with it}

 {Some of the group enjoying the first batch]

 {My favorite people:  My best friend Krissa, her husband Shane and our friend Phil.  I went to TECH with these guys and I love them!}

 Thank you Pinterest for the food presentation ideas. 

 {We had kid friendly and not so kid friendly beverages}

{The chef in action.  He said he had the best time doing this!}

I didn't do a very good job of taking pictures but we had a great turn out!  Thank you to everyone for coming out and making the Muir Family Crawfish Boil a success!

The Boston Red Sox Final Game

The Boston Red Sox had a great season!  Cole had an absolute blast playing t-ball.  He asked me every.single.day if he had a game or practice.  He LOVED it!  So we are a little sad that yesterday morning was the last game of the season.  All the boys learned a lot and you could really tell how much they improved from the first game compared to yesterdays game.  We are so proud of our little #4!

 I had to document her curls.  They are to.die.for!

 The boys received trophies after the game.  Cole was so proud of it and said he wanted to put it on his trophy table {a.k.a. his dresser} when he got home.

We are already getting excited for his next season! 

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for an awesome season!
