Memorial Weekend BBQ

Memorial Day always seems to come at a perfect time of year, for a much needed rest, and remembrance to those who have served our country.  We were able to "gather the flocks!" and have a great bbq!  I think this is why I love being here the most, especially during the summer, as we gather together as family and watch the cousins play and run around, and grow:)  I am not sure how much longer we will all be together around here like this, hopefully longer rather than shorter, as some have graduated or will be soon, and will be moving on to our next chapters of life.  I think we will look back at these special times we were able to so easily and conveniently be together.
My mom and I brought back some cool Frisbees from the Target Store in Peoria, IL.  The kids LOVED them!  I think all the kids have a favorite thing though, the four-wheeler.  Braxton asks about it almost everyday, and when all the cousins are over, they ALL want rides.  They receive SO much joy from grandpa giving them rides!
It was also a great weekend to remember both my grandfathers, and be able to think in a moment of silence, for them both, and for not only their service to this country, but to their families as well.  Thank You!
