Memorial Day BBQ

 We had a few families over for a Memorial Day BBQ.

They did some Stick Pulling, football on the tramp, and a game of basketball. 

Good time with family & friends.

Memorial Day BBQ on Faith Lane

Can I just say... I love having a home where we can have people over!!!!
We decided to throw a Memorial Day BBQ and have some friends over. It turned out to be quite the crowd! We were lucky enough to have the Posts, Fifes, Paynes, Earls, Tubbs, Ochsenbeins, Weavers, and Prescotts over to party with us! The skies threatened for a few moments before the guests arrived but then it was like a hot Summer Day! Love it!
My favorite thing about hosting is the fact that I don't have to make anything extravagant but always end up having a glorious meal! People are always welcome when they bring food! ;) We started up the fire pit and Brett turned on the Grill. We had tons of sides and even home-made ice cream! Awesome!

We are in love with our backyard. We had basketball games, trampoline fun, bug catching, visiting and kids even enjoyed the basement. It was really a perfect day! So glad our friends could spend time with us! We have so much to be grateful for. Happy Memorial Day!

We were all in love with my neighbors little girl. She was a up-ity "cheeser" at everyone but if we laughed at her too much- she would get pipping mad! It was so darling! love her!

Memorial Day @ the Lake

We had a great Memorial Day! We decided to go out to the lake for a BBQ and some fishing. The Andersons joined us. Once the boats all came in, we had the dock to ourselves. We didn't catch anything but it was a beautiful evening. Thanks to our friends for joining us! Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial-able Camping: Friday Night

Our new friends, the Jacksons invited us and the Payne family to go camping with them for Memorial Day weekend in West Glacier, MT. We can't get to ANY camping equipment right now due to our fun living situation ;) so we thought we would have to pass this time. But they were staying at a KOA Campground that happened to have cabins available. Yeah for us! 

We made it up there Friday night in time to join them for dinner down the road at a Cafe'. They had put our group in the backroom which was a good thing because we were so large and so loud. The only thing is that the room had an echo so we seemed even louder than we really were. LOL

Back at the KOA we started a fire, ate s'mores and boiled water in a plastic bottle. We adore the Jacksons and the Paynes. They are such fun people to hang out with!

It was late before we parted ways but we had decided to have Justice work on some of his Scout requirements while we were there. So when we got back to the cabin, the boys (and Victoria) pitched  a tent in front  of our cabin. It was a bit tricky because it was raining and it was on cement. They got very creative in how to stake it down and keep it up. LOL Justice and Victoria spent the night out there in the rain. Brave kids!

In the morning, Glory checked it out with them. Cute kiddos.
