Memorial Day Weekend

What a hot past few days we had!  We kept cool by staying in the pool, well, at least keeping the kids in the water as much as we could.  Other than that, our weekend was filled with cookouts with family and friends.  Paul and I also managed to get quite a bit of landscaping done, which was much needed!

I FINALLY talked Paul into us getting a little pool for the kids.  I have promised to empty and move it every few days so it doesn't kill his precious grass (blah, blah, blah).  With the fun the kids had in it over the weekend, it has already been so worth it!

Too cute babies!

I matched all of the girls in these dresses for church and our cookout.

We had my uncle and aunt, cousin, and Uncle Ryan over for a cookout on Sunday afternoon.  The girls were waiting for them to arrive here so we could get the "party" started.  Everything to Ella is a party these days...even when it's just one friend coming over to play :)

Ella's festive bikini!  I got this at the twin sale earlier this season for only $1.50!  What a bargain!  Everyone thought she was oh-so-adorable in it!

Ready for another day of cooking out and another "party"!

H&H were catching up on world news (or maybe just the ads) before we left.

Ella and her friend Addie!

This photo is just hilarious!  Addie was squirting Hailee with this bottle and Hailee thought it was so funny.  She kept doing it and Hailee just kept laughing.  So cute and funny!

Ella never eats when she is having fun and keeping busy.  We finally got her to sit for 5 seconds to eat something and all she would have are these two pieces of cheese.  Oh well! 

Hannah on the other hand, ate all evening!  Her and Hailee ate three plates full, yes three, between the two of them!
