[Reading Through the Bible]

Confession: While I have tried several times, I've never read through the entire Bible. I joined @bibleplans on IG back in September and I'm still at it! I love that they don't do the usual Genesis-Revelations, and they even covered several chapters through a Lent study. I just might make it through this time! This month we read through 1 Corinthians, doing only one chapter per day [and skipping weekends].

{Memorial Day Weekend 2018}

Land of the Free #printable by lovebakesgoodcakes.com

05.26.18
I had a full house of overnight guests checking in today and they were all staying until Monday ---->which meant a Memorial Day Sunday finally work free!!! YAAA!!! Nathan dropped Rowen by while he played softball until Kayla got off work. They came for a cookout afterwards and by then Logan and Kamry had gotten here. Logan had decided last minute to bring Kamry over for the night since Lindsey would be out of town for her friend Danielle's bachelorette weekend. We were so excited to have them! It is always so good having everyone together and I wish Lindsey could have come as well. Peter grilled burgers and hot dogs for dinner, and we also had deviled eggs, cole slaw, potato salad, onion dip & chips, and Lemon Lush. YUM!
This guy is so content and happy - he's a pleasure to be around. He loves coming to Nana and Pop Pop's house ((((and btw, can say NANA now <3 <3 <3))) 


Kamry was so excited to be at Nana & Pop Pop's house. <3 She is so much fun and keeps us entertained for sure! She enjoys everything and is the happiest, sweetest girl! <3 We had the best time  together!

Chesapeake House breakfast for the win!!
feeding the chickens.......
ready for the Memorial Day service <3













After the program, we went to Four Brothers to get dinner (but ended up bringing it back to the house to eat since it was cooler there and the kids needed naps). Mom and Dad came down too. Logan decided to stay another night since it would be so rushed and Kamry was enjoying her visit!

Rowen wants dinner too!
 Kayla wasn't feeling good so she went home to rest and Nathan stayed here with Rowen until time for bath/bedtime. Peter and I rode the children out on the cart to get the flag in and then I made pan of jalapeƱo poppers for a snack. I took the kids in on the guest room bed and it was priceless!!!!! Kamry was jumping (in muddle puddles) on the bed and Rowen thought she was hilarious! Then, Rowen picked up her prized "Owlie" and put it in his mouth...needless to say she wasn't loving that idea but her reaction was so sweet! The video is rather long so it takes awhile to load up. I'll add it here as soon as I get it uploaded.....it's the sweetest!!

After everyone left, Logan gave Kamry her bath and they settled down early for the night. 
We weren't too far behind them! :O)

They slept around the clock! Kamry is a great sleeper and seldom rises too early. 
She wanted one last Nana smoothie! :O) I had to work today, so Gran invited everyone up there for a big lunch and they hung out afterwards. They left on the 4:00 boat, and I always hate when their little visits come to an end! We had the best holiday weekend though. It had been an impromptu visit, but sometimes they make the best kind. You grab those little moments whenever you can and just enjoy the time you get to spend with each other. We also realized later that this is one of few holidays the men will be home for this year. It's their year of working most holidays, so while we really hadn't planned it that way, we absolutely loved having the kids here to celebrate Memorial Weekend! :O)

Kamry's Peppa Birthday Party!! [4]

"Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday Dear Kamry...
Happy Birthday to you!!!"



<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 

We had decided to stay another night, so after we cleaned up and packed all the stuff up, we headed back to their house. Logan and Lindsey got together with some friends later that night, so Peter and I stayed with Kamry. It didn't take either of us long to fall asleep! What a great day of celebrating! :O)


04.29.18
I woke up super early the next morning, and headed out in the backyard with my morning coffee. 


Everyone else slept in, but we ended up back outside later. 







Lindsey went to Chincoteague with friends and we hung out outside until the boat left at 4:00. Peter and Logan put the patio furniture together, and Kamry and I had a snack and watched. :O)







We were sad to leave.......and it ended up being a VERY rough boat ride home......

but we had a wonderful weekend celebrating our sweet girl, KAMRY! :O)
