Memorial Day Weekend

We had a pretty busy weekend for just staying around here. We had some friends over for dinner on Saturday night with their kids, everyone had a great time and the kids played great together. We forgot about all the toys left outside, when we woke up on Sunday, this is what our backyard looked like. It was pretty comical!

Our friend Treytonsweet ElizabethEthan & Ansley (I love this picture)we didn't even ask them to sit together, they just were :)

We ventured to the pool on Sunday, not sure of how Ansley was going to take it since it has been a year since she had been a pool. Plus, she was so young last year, she didn't really care if the water was cold. Well, Miss Princess absolutely hated the water. She was all about going into it as soon as we got there but screamed when she got in. I have to admit, was pretty cold. But after some time and getting to warm up to the water she had a great time. She also just loved taking laps around the pool walking around with her snack trap and sippy cup. We definitely do not get to sit down anymore, but that is okay. At least she now enjoys the pool.....

Sunday night Rob and I got a babysitter for Ansley and had a nice dinner just the two of us. We went to a great restaurant we had been wanting to go to for quite some time. We are really going to try and get out at least once a month just the two of us. Ansley seems to really do well with the babysitter after the initial scream when we leave her.

As for today, we headed back to the pool. Ansley just walked around the pool checking everyone out. It is funny because she gives them this stare like it is her pool and she has to approve of them :) But all in all it was a great day relaxing at the pool.

We hope everyone had a great Memorial Day and weekend!

your backyard cracks me up! You must have been really busy to not have seen the mess and wanted to clean it up immediately. Glad you had fun with your friends. And happy to hear that Ansley is getting use to the pool. Tell her Daddy to give her some time to warm up to it and I bet by the end of the summer is going to be jumping off the side.
