Whatta Memorial Day Weekend!

A Memorial Day Weekend even we didn't expect!

Up until the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend Chris and I were totally planning on going to the Races. Then we decided that we really wanted to go to Aunt Carolyn's Wedding Reception in Illinois.

With that decision made Chris and I headed to my parents house in Illinois on Saturday Night when I got off work that evening. We spent the night in my old pink and blue bedroom and then we got up pretty dang early to head to Brent and Amanda's house. Which actually ended up being later than we had thought!

Chris needed to take a shower still and my mom wanted to go out to eat at Ryan's. Mom and I went to Ryan's while Chris took a shower and got shaving. Ryan's was only about 15 minutes late unlocking their doors. Which took us 15 minutes longer than we had planned on spending to eat.

Since we were ruining late we told Brent to just have everyone meet us at Le Peeps! We were going out to breakfast with Brent, Amanda, Mom and Dad West and of course Makenna!

Here we are waiting for our name to be called so we get started chowing down!

Yeah, Makenna and I called each other to see which color we would be wearing today.

Brent and Amanda tease each other

Mom tries to make a call to China on Makenna's phone! Good thing Makenna has the number pad locked!

Chris and Grandpa are just stolen by Makenna

After a brief time of waiting our name was finally called, "BRENT PARTY OF 7" and we were all ready to go eat.

Makenna got some yummy food after her bottle! She ate Strawberry Yogurt and a Cinnamon Roll!

Grandma stole Makenna's Hat! Poor Makenna!! everyone steals her cute little hats, Here's a picture of when her daddy stole her hat at the Christmas party!

Back to Le Peeps...Makenna and Uncle Chris have a good time!

After leaving Peeps, I went with Makenna and Mom went with Chris back to Brent and Amanda's house. We hung out there for a bit, Chris obsessed over the race and then we loaded up to go to the Reception.

Literally, LOADED UP! Mom and I had to sit all the way in the back! We were in the trunk! Yeah Buttocks were a bit sore when we arrived.

We Mingled at the Reception...

The little boy was an official balloon blower-upper with the helium tank.

Lara was the official balloon knotter person.

Amanda was the official string tier person.

and the little girl was supposed to be the official string cutter person, but she gave it up :)

Chris made some non-helium balloons to tie out by the road!

Darrell helps the groom Barry tape down the table cloths.

Chris spends some time with grandpa

Aunt Carolyn comes to say buh-bye while Chris checks on the Race.

Here we are at Dos- great Picture! :)

Here we are leaving Dos reales! We stopped to chat with this nice driver here. Although I don't think he was nearly as entertained as we were.

Here we all are on the putting field!

Amanda won! I'm not sure how the scores ended up after that! Brent said she forgot to do her victory dance, but I bet she probably did one or two!

The Next morning Chris and I headed out early to go to my parents house again. Chris got suckered in by mom to make the RIBS and we had a great meal with Grandma and Grandpa, Kristina, mom and dad and Chris and I. After that Chris and I took off to be on our way home.

While Chris was grilling I was looking for the tadpoles in moms pond she built.

Grandpa thinks dad couldn't get the food table ready fast enough! Look at him all ready to start chowing down.

Hey All! If you look to your left you'll notice that I have vamped up the picture and video links!

Let me know if these pages take too long to load. I'll change them back, or make them smaller if they do!

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm on a posting kick this morning!

Sunday May 20th!

Chris and I were sitting around the house, well I was- he was out mowing- when I got this bright light going off in my head to surprise him and go fishing. I couldn't find any poles (which I knew we didn't have) so I thought let's go golfing. I found a golf place in Logansport but it was too far of a drive and Chris really wanted to race the Go-Karts.

So instead we made our way to the Family Fun Center and passed on the go-karts to play putt-putt! Chris says I won by one stroke...but if you do the math on the card, he won. But that's okay- I'm a semi-cool loser.

After putt-putt we hit the batting cages! Check us out!

We hit 120 balls between the two of us and man oh man were we ever so sore the next day. Both of us had to hold our rib cages that next morning!

Last Friday Night I worked until 8pm and I came home to Chris working hard to prepare a wonderful meal!

He made Chicken that was marinated in teriyaki sauce and grilled with pineapples. There was corn, rolls, egg noodles, green beans and cheese cake for dessert.

It was a wonderful dinner that I thought I would share with everyone! Aren't y'all jealous? :)

See all of the pictures here!

Way Back when in March- Chris and I joined up with the family for an amazing day of fun at the Indoor Water park.

We met up with mom and dad , Rachel and Ashley, Casi, Austin and Devon and the surprise was Brother, Robbie and Jenny! We met in Kokomo and hung out. Chris and I utilized the free Gym at the hotel mom and dad stayed at that night and morning.

We went swimming and we went out to eat to get some Chinese grub! Then we went to sleep and then we went to the hotel with the indoor water park and spent the entire day having a blast...well kinda...Brother and Jenny went missing while looking for swimsuits! But they made it back safely, the big city didn't get them lost for long.

Check out all the pictures here!

You Can't Really Tell it- But Here comes Austin on the motorcycle with Uncle Chris..and BoJack chasing the tires!
