memorial day

Sit back.

This is going to be a long one.

There are 37 pictures in this post.

By actual count.

We had a fantastic weekend.

It started with a little golf.

 The girls.
I had no idea Izzy was so good.

It must run in the family.

 This is Jess.

Nick's girlfriend.

We like her.

A lot.

Poor little thing is hideous to look at though.

:)

Seriously though.

She is really great.  Fits right in.

Fun to be around.

Can take a joke.

And is good to my girl.

What's not to like?
And we are both onlies.
And us onlies need to stick together.

 And of course Izzy.

We adore Izzy.

Always have.

Always will.

 This is Andy.

Aka...Vern.

Aka..my cousin.

He is handsome.

And funny.

And a trickster.

And a little mean.

 It was so busy that she didn't get to play much.

Linda (bless her heart) took her to the pool after three holes.

She was in heaven.

 After golf, Chris and I headed to Indy to spend some time with his family.

Auntie Sheryl found a great park for Ellie to play in.

 And then we went to a cute little town for Greeks Pizza.

Chris and I ate Greeks pizza every Thursday in college.

It holds a special place for us.

And it is freaking good.

We saw Mark and Amber there and visited a bit.

And we met her baby bump.

We are excited to meet you baby girl Davis!

 Then Sunday morning we got up and visited those we miss.

Grandma Marion.

 And my mama.

 Then we spent the rest of the day on Andy's loft roof.

This is City Boy.

 I fell head over heels for him.

I tried to sneak him home.

It didn't work.

 And here is Andy again.

He found this great apartment in Farmland

(yes, the town is called Farmland)

and really made it his own.

It looks like this.

 

And has views like this...

It's a pretty cool place to hang out for the day.

Even if it was 600 degrees out.

Ellie helped Uncle Wayne picked names for the race.

Paige won this year.

She had Francinni.

Boo.  Hiss.

 And we got to spend lots of time with favorite people.

 That is C Hief Steve back there.

He isn't real.

He does, however, have his own facebook page.

You should check him out.

He is pretty cool.

 It was so HOT!

Izzy french braided Ellie's hair.

Must. Learn. To. Do. This.

 That would be grape vodka and tonic.

I had a few.

I also had a headache the next day.

Ahem.

Can you say hangover??

 These kids are great.

Love em.

 We also taught Ellie to play pong.

Cause we are super classy like that.

Sister was really good!

*no drinking was occuring during the game, and no 6 year olds were harmed during play.

 I adore this man.

 It was such a fun night.

Just laughing.

And goofing off.

And visiting.

Let's end this post with another shot of my guy.

Boy.

He is good lookin'!
