Memorial Day

"You seriously want me to get into that thing?"
"Do you not see those nasty clouds above my head?"

"I DON'T WANT TO GET MY HAIR WET!"

"This unidentified man will protect me!"

Hot stuff! All the ladies were checkin' him out!

"What is this girly-looking thing and why is it naked?"

Happy Memorial Day! First of all, thank you to all the men and women who have fought and died for our country! Today, we remember you.

Tyson, Jake, and I had a great Memorial Day. We kept it low-key and didn't do much of anything, which was perfect. Between Tyson being out of town for recruiting this last month and me working so much lately, we haven't gotten many opportunities to be together as a family. We did take Jake to the pool for the first time this year, and what an adventure that was!

Jake was a little tearful at first when we first put him in the water, but he eventually came around. By no means was he splashing in the water in the end, though; little man preferred to sit on the edge of the pool with his feet in the water, toys in hand, and watching the other kids splash around. Jake really enjoyed the little water-shooter-things, though. Again, he was kind of skeptical at first, but all I had to do was tell him it was just like his bath, and he was sold. He kept walking around, pointing at the water-shooter-things, and saying "bath?" It was precious! All-in-all, it was a great day at the pool. I can definitely see us being frequent visitors to the pool this summer!

Happy Memorial Day!
