Memorial Day

We had beautiful weather on Memorial Day....so Jason went to our garden plots and spent several hours tilling the ground up and adding new dirt. Then we all went out to a local park and enjoyed some play time...it was a bit windy and breezy by the water. The girls love throwing rocks in the water and hate to leave it. Then we went and got an ice cream treat and went to another park to enjoy that. We ended the day enjoying a nice dinner at my parents house...lots of fresh air, and too bad it had to end with miss Emma getting a fever...and now we have spent a couple days with both the girls having fevers and runny noses. No other symptoms so hoping it is just a virus and cold. Looking forward to lots more of beautiful weekends ahead!

Memorial Day

We had a nice Memorial Day at my folks house just spending time together. (After a trip to the mall to get a new cell phone because mine completely crashed and I lost everything!) We tried a new Strawberry Spinach Salad, and I made a new festive dessert and popcorn treat, click on pics for recipe. Emma also tried her first rice cereal!! Although, I think she got more on the bib and her face than in her tummy. We shall see how it goes...although Mama is in no hurry!! :) We also remembered all the brave men and women that have served our country (especially my grandpas, my daddy and my hubby) and all those that have lost their lives, especially Joel Lewis and recently a man here at our base that I briefly worked with when I was in Protocol, LT Jeff Ammon-who died in Afghanistan last week. He leaves a wife and two sons. We must remember that our freedom has never been "free". May God protect all of our soldiers today and everyday.
