Memorial Day Weekend

Wow! What an awesome 3-day weekend! We decided to give the girls their birthday presents early this year so they could get more use out of them. Friday night we took Kimberly out to buy her new Power Wheels car, she was so excited! She kept asking us when we were goning to buy her car so she could drive all over town. 5 stores later we found it...a Ford F-150 steel blue truck (just like daddy's) with Monster Traction. No joke this thing goes through mud, grass, ruts, up hills, just about everywhere. Lexus is getting a Wii as soon as our gift certificates to Best Buy come in.

We also got a new family picture taken...only took 3 years! Kimberly was 6 months old in the last one. But, as always the kids smiled and it was piece of cake. We watched the Bellevue/Dayton Memorial Parade on Monday, I couldn't believe when I saw a banner stating it was 79 years old. What a great tradition! Austin didn't like the sirens at first, but he was fascinated by all the red firetrucks. We enjoyed the parade and the rest of the day with Dad, Mom, Scott, Dana, Halle, and Colin. I hope everyone had a great weekend and got out and enjoyed the wonderful weather we had (let's hope it continues!).

We had so much fun too. I know Halle and Colin loved the time spent with their cousins. We need to have days like this more often. Thanks for the great pics of the family. Can't wait to get them in frames and on the wall.
