Memorial Day Weekend

During Memorial Weekend, Drew had to give a presentation at a conference in Orlando, so we decided to tag along and make a fun weekend out of it. We got up there Friday afternoon and went to Legoland for the rest of the day. Hit up a few of our favorite rides, the headed to our hotel and dinner.

 Its not a trip without going to the BIG SHOP!

At dinner there was a lady doing balloons. She was AMAZING. Seriously, best balloon maker I've ever seen. Mason got an alligator, tanner an octopus, and Hayden a turtle.

The next day Drew had to give the presentation, so the boys and I hung out at the hotel. They had lots of fun things to do. Swimming, giant chess, ping pong, splash pad. We played until drew was done, then went and picked him up and headed back to Legoland to try out the water park.

 

The Lego land water park was a blast. Brought me right back to Wet and Wild days down in Vegas.

 Wave pool

 Lazy River. This was extra fun because they have giant Legos floating in the water and some of the tubes have brick plates you can build things on!

That night we drove home, then on Monday we went swimming and had a BBQ with friends.

It was a fun weekend!

Table redo

 I decided the boys needed a homework table that they could use to work at. I got a cheap $20 desk from Ikea and decided to improve it a bit. It was just plain white and I used good ole spray paint and painted a fun stripe on it. I am happy with the way it turned out! Who doesn't love a stripe?

 Finished product!

May happenings

In May we got to go to a fun birthday party at the beach for cute Collette. it was such a fun day at the beach.

All the mommas lined up on the beach!

 I don't know what Hayden would do with out Collette, he just loves her to pieces!

 We tried to get a picture of all the girls (since we never do). We asked someone there at the beach to snap a quick picture, needless to say she had zero photography skills. We should have asked Tanner to take it for us! Blurry, horrible picture, but at least it is something.

We had another fun birthday party this month for another friend, Kylie. It was a swim party and they had a snow cone truck come and we had limitless snow cones! Yum, Yum!

Handstand contest with Brittany... she is always so much fun!

Mason's 8th Birthday

Since Mason's birthday was on a Sunday this year, we got to celebrate all weekend long. Saturday morning we went to the Museum. Drew had never actually been with us, and we wanted him to experience it before our passes expired.

Mason didn't have a friend birthday this year, instead we just celebrated as a family. He chose to go bowling.

and then for dinner we went to Chili's

On Sunday Mason woke up to this!

This also happened to be Mothers Day, so Mas had to share the day with me. Drew fixed us a yummy dinner and we had a great day.

We opened presents...

Sang, blew out 8 candles, and ate yummy ice cream cake...

and tested out the new electric scooter...

 we are so lucky to have this awesome 8 year old as part of our family. He is a great example to his younger brothers and a hard worker! Love ya Mas!!!
