A long weekend and a short year

It was so very splendid to have a long weekend over Memorial Day. Jed usually works a lot on Saturdays with Plutonium, but he was home at noon and we got him the REST OF THE WEEKEND! It was awesome. We had our friends over on Saturday evening for dinner (too busy eating/playing and didn't snap any shots). Jed grilled up his famous Argi-style skirt steak and we had fun chatting and watching the girls play together. Addie and their little girl Lucy are only 3 weeks apart and such cute friends. Love it.

Sunday was nice and relaxing. I got to sleep in because Addie now realizes that Sunday mornings daddy is home and she'll request "mommy, you stay here and go back to bed" so that she can cuddle with her daddy down on the couch and watch shows. This week it was "I cuddled with daddy and watched the Yoda show". Nice. Hey, I'll take it!

Monday was pretty low key. We grabbed some breakfast and then washed all our cars. Addie LOVES washing the cars with daddy. One of her favorite things to do. In fact, she was annoyed the other day when I said I was going to go wash my car and meant at a car wash. She thought we were going out to play with water, not getting IN the car. When we pulled into the car wash, a guy was vacuuming his car out and she said "that's not daddy!" Sooo it would seem only daddy really ever washes the cars.

She was so soaked with water that I had to change her outfit. She was freezing because it wasn't that warm out.
Even Addie's car got a wash :)


Farewell/Memorial Day BBQ with the Snows

My dear long-time friend Niki and her little family moved back here a year ago after being gone for 3 LONG years in Arizona attending Medical school. I knew she'd only be here for a year for his final year of rotations-- but man this year flew by!
Niki and Brian and their kids left today to make their way to San Antonio, TX so Brian can complete his residency there. He graduates from Medical school on Friday- congrats Brian! So excited for you guys...even though it means you'll be far away from us.

Gotta love dutch oven cooking! YUM! Props to Niki's dad, Scott for some awesome food....cobbler not pictured (consumed before possible)

Yes, Addie made an appearance at both the adult and kid tables. She always mingles with the whole crowd at social events.

We love these cute little friends!


Addie got to take a ride on Papa Scott's "red bike" and LOVED it!

We will miss our friends a lot! We'll look forward to visits and we're excited for them embarking on their next adventure.
