memorial day weekend...

What a fantastic weekend!  It started off great since it was Brickman's birthday, but then we filled it with lots of friends and family.  Ryan, Jerad's buddy from high school, came over and introduced us to his fiance Amie on Friday night.  Nick and Cara also came over, and Ryan and Amie taught us a new card game called 99.  We ended the night with the game of things.  We slept in on Saturday, but then headed to Freedom for the annual fish fry with Jerad's extended family on his dad's side.  I have a hard time remembering all of them since we only see most of them just once a year, if even that.  Jerad and I went back on Sunday for some more visiting while Charlene took the boys to see a You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.  We got back to the house in time to clean it up a bit for dinner with Eric and Elise on Sunday night.  Then on Monday, we hung out at my grandad's pond for a reunion with my dad's side of the family.  The boys had a blast!



They swam in the pond.


They rode the grampa-go-round.


They rode jet-skis.



They love going to the pond.  As we turned the corner of the road that the pond is on, Brickman told us that he was so excited that he had goosebumps.  He couldn't stop talking about Sam the whole week.  Sam really does a great job keeping the kiddos entertained.  We ended up trading kids for the night while we were at the pond.  Chase came home with us to spend the night with Braylon, and Brickman stayed the night with Archer, while Hadley stayed with Libby.  I think we were all tuckered out after the long weekend, but it was definitely worth it!
