Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fun-filled weekend starting on Thursday when Gus, Amy, and the favorite Cousin Charles arrived.  Lena Kate and Charles played all weekend every minute they had together.  It is so fun to watch them grow so close.  Lena Kate plays "with" Charles more than any of her other friends. There must be something special about him;) 

Charles turned 5 years old on Saturday and the party was at Mimi and Papa's house.  The kids and adults alike had a great time. 

A cute shot with Uncle Gus.
 I made the cakes:)  They were a hit and gone by the evening-when is a birthday cake gone the day of the party?!
 They love to swim together.  Being early in the summer it took them a little to get used to the water again.  (I had Lena Kate swimming for one breath worth of distance again last night without the floatie.)
 Double trouble
 It is an understatement to say that he enjoyed his gift!  He rode it all day long!
 Partying is hard for a 2 week old baby.  Sam was a great sport.
 Soccer girl had a great time too.
 Big Brother John Lee swam too!
 What is a party without a Popsicle?
 After falling out of a power wheels a couple of weeks ago, Lena Kate wasn't to keen on riding again just yet. See her expression?
 Soccer with Daddy
 Ainslee loved riding.
This was her preferred method of transportation
 Papa thought it was a good party:)

We followed this fun party with another birthday party on Sunday.  Sean O'Brien turned one and both girls had a good time playing in the water again.  We rounded out the holiday weekend with a baby shower and pickle making at the Laechelin's on Monday.  Both Ainlsee and Lena Kate were so tired they took long naps even away from home.  We made lots of fun memories with family and friends. We are so blessed and now looking forward to our baby girl turning 1 this month.  I can't believe it!!!
