Memorial Day

We had such a nice big Memorial Day this year. Dan and his kids came up to play in the creek and have some leftover pulled pork.  We had a lot of fun playing and talking with them.  

These girls can't get enough of Liz.  She's like a movie star to them.

Later on we went up to Nate's parents' house for a BBQ and playing with cousins.

These girls are all so cute together!  I'm so glad my girls have plenty of cousins their ages to play with.

Erika and Sami had a lot of fun together that day.  It's one of the first times they've really bonded. 

This picture is to document Nate's Clash of Clans obsession :).  He sits and talks with Lynn about their clan when they're together :).  Makes me laugh so I have to tease him.

This kid is a ham.  He automatically smiles when he sees the camera :).  

Everyone went over to the school to play basketball and play on the playground.  It was such a HOT day!  Kyson had to come back for bottles of water for everyone.

This picture is to document Luke's obsession with Clash of Clans.  He is seriously hooked.  On the up side, I always have something to threaten when he isn't doing what he's supposed to :).  Leverage :)

I walked over to the school with Meg and some of the littles.  We got to sit and talk and I took pictures.  Lots of chatter about the last week of school and picking teachers for next year.  I gotta say I've never been more nervous about the next year as I am this year.  I need to stop thinking about it all. It's always fun to talk to Meg though.  Wish we could get together more often. 

Cute Sam-o

We made sure to stop at Nana's grave on the way home.  We ate a whole bag of M&Ms while we stood there, left a small bag on the grave, and then said goodbye.  I miss Nana so much.  I couldn't help but wish Grandma and Grandpa Mottishaw's graves were closer... I'd love to visit them regularly. It's all good though.  I still feel them so close pretty often.  I feel like all three of them watch over me in a way.  It's comforting.
