Memorial Day!!!

First let me start by saying a BIG thanks to all the service men and women. Without them, we couldn't celebrate the freedom we enjoy in the great USA!



So there's not many things that beat a 3 day weekend, especially when I get to spend it with my hubby and son. We started out by taking Beckham to PETER PIPER PIZZA in Friday. Each time we do something like this, we realize that he is still a little to young for most of the games, but he still has fun walking around and eating pizza, so it's worth it. Then Saturday, Josh worked on the lawn most of the afternoon while Beckham and I played. Then we went to church that night. Afterward we got to enjoy an awesome CHEESECAKE FACTORY dinner with the Mullins and the Galyeans! I love it when I can go out to eat with friends AND my son is so well behaved! Being it was about 2 hours past his bedtime when we left, Beckham was a champ! FUN!!!

Then we just lounged around and relaxed. BUT Sunday night Josh and I decided we would camp out in the backyard!

Here's our tent. We had never used it before, and it was such a great night we figured why not?? Well, we got the tent all up, put Beckham to bed and headed out to the backyard for the night. We took the portable DVD player out there and watched a movie. The breeze was great, not too hot, not too cold. About 20 minutes after being outside Buddy started barking and we couldn't figure out why, until we looked up in the sky. There were FIREWORKS!! Yep, there was a concert going on about 2 miles down the road complete with a fireworks show! We had a PERFECT view. It was so fun. But the fun was over pretty quickly. I didn't realize that our backyard is really noisy at night! SO I lasted in the "great outdoors" until 12:30am and then went inside to the peace and quiet of my house. Josh and Buddy soon followed. I think we will save camping for the real great outdoors.

Monday, Josh's family came over and we played with Beckham and hung out a little a bit before starting another long work week. Overall all rating...I give it a 10!!

Here a couple pics of Beckham. He get's more and more fun as the days go on. He is saying so many new words. Today's word was "bike." My mother-n-law takes him for bike rides when he is with her, and he LOVES it! He told me all about it when I picked him up today. I love that little face!!!
