Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend was relaxing, yet eventful. Saturday was a lazy at-home day – which we needed. Sunday was family day!! Isaac and I woke up and got ready for our day of family time (Daddy had to work – big bummer!). We left our house and went to Aunt Chrissy's to follow her to Great Aunt Pat's cabin. While we all ate, Isaac nibbled on some pasta salad that I shared with him and he had his first taste of watermelon – which he loved. There were lots of people there and we had lots of fun together!

This is my husband's cousin's little boy Eli (2 ½ years old). He liked Isaac and even gave him kisses! I'm sure he'll teach Isaac some very fun stuff as they get older.

How are you supposed to keep the blanket clean when there is so much dirt around?

Shanna, Caleb, Cassie and Kota enjoying the day.


There are always games of baseball and horseshoes occurring at the cabin!

The two newest moms of the family with their little boys! It was so nice to talk to Jennifer (my husband's cousin) and meet her little boy Aiden (2 months old).

Christina (my husband's cousin's wife and Eli's mom), Jennifer, and I have our little boys (Christina is having another little boy – Chase Wesley – in September). We tried to get Eli in the picture, but 2 ½ year old little boys have too many other things to do!!! We all imagined what next year's Memorial Day get-together would be like with four little boys running around! We can't wait!

Isaac loves his grandma!

The resemblance is uncanny – especially because there is no blood relation – must be the hair!

Aunt Chrissy…sigh…we love her.


Eric (my husband's cousin) and his new fiancé. Shanna (my husband's cousin) and her boyfriend Caleb, who is a former student of mine – small world! It's a good thing I like this kid since I'll see him at family gatherings J!

After a nice afternoon at Aunt Pat's cabin, we headed up to the farm. We ate well – again, and had a relaxing bonfire. My camera batteries went dead and I only got one picture of the Wotring gathering, but I got really good video! I like the one picture I got, though. Aunt Lizzie gives the best kisses (besides mommy and daddy of course).



That was Isaac's favorite Memorial Day Weekend of his whole life!!
