Happy Memorial Day!!


We drove up to Belmont for Memorial weekend. We went up for two big reasons. 1. Pirates of the Carribean opening weekend and 2. Robbie's favorite cousins birthday party. We had a great weekend. We were able to get a babysitter to watch the kids so we could all go see pirates on Saturday. Ellie had her birthday party on monday and we had blast! It was a pool party at Nana and Poppa's! What a great way to spend Memorial Day! This party was wonderful. Mostly because this party had my three favorite things in life........1. Chocolate. 2. Chips and Salsa. 3. Rootbeer. What more could you ask for? Oh wait...maybe I was supposed to say 1. Rob. 2. Robbie. 3. Lauren.... oh well...all 6 are fabulous!

I had the hardest time get Robbie to pose for a picture. He was having so much fun that he didn't want to stop. I told him that he didn't even have to smile...finally he gave in and gave me this picture. What a kind boy!
Lauren is a lot easier to get pictures of. She let me take millions of pictures of her. She looked really cute in her Future American Beauty Queen t-shirt!


Robbie and Lauren LOVED the pool. Robbie always has to take a little bit of time to get used to the water but Lauren just wants to jump right in and start swimming. You really have to keep your eye on her because she doesn't care if someone is there to catch her or not...she just wants to swim!! Robbie was doing really well and starting swimming by himself (with his vest on). Normally he won't leave the steps or makes us hold on tight to him. I guess we just need to move to a place with a pool! Here are some of my favorite pool pictures!







Here are some more cute pictures for the grandparents and aunties who just love to see how cute the kids are!!!


Alas....the trip was over, and the kids were tired!

It was a very fun trip... Lauren nearly drown me with all her jumping in the pool. I was a direct splash to the face with no way to defend yourself (I had to have my hands up to catch her thus taking it all in the face!). It was great to be with family. Sadly we came home to additional graffiti and my car was egged while we were gone. Definitely time to move.

Yeah... because the uncles don't like to look at the pictures. I am choosing to be offended. ;)
