Memorial Day

I thought I would share some precious pictures of our babies at the river! My parents, Chad, Lauren, Carter, Brandon, and I had a family day on the river for Memorial Day on Monday. It was a lot of fun! Carter was hilarious in his bucket hat and sunglasses as you can tell from the pictures. Puddles and Ellie also joined us on the boat. It was Puddles' first time and I am pretty sure it was the best day of her life. I wakeboarded for the first time and got up every time but couldn't quite get the hang of cruisin' on the wake once up...I guess that will come with practice.

Summer fun

Tonight Brandon and I spent some much needed quality time together. I met him when he got off work and we played a little golf together. Even though he is a real pro compared to me, he is so patient with me and a really good teacher. I hope I can get better where we can actually play a real round together.

Today was my last day to keep Carter since Lauren's last day of school is tomorrow. This morning we cuddled and took a nap together on the couch which was so sweet. Usually I lay him in his bed, but today I thought we could make an exception since it was our last day before summer break. I will miss our days together.

This weekend will be busy for me because I am in my friend Sarah's wedding on Saturday. It is already a special day because it is my parent's anniversary. Hopefully later in the weekend the family will be able to catch up on some R&R since it is Memorial Day weekend.

Carter

This is my sweet little nephew Carter. He will be 4 months old on May 14th! I cannot believe it. He is growing so fast.

May Day

It has been a while since I have updated my blog so I thought I would catch my readers up to speed. Well, last week I finished up my spring semester in school which was a big relief. I only have a little more to go before graduation...three summer classes and four fall classes, yipee! I still do not know what the future will hold for me after this year as far as a career. I will cross that bridge when I get there I guess.

Brandon and I just celebrated our six year anniversary. I know it seems like a long time but it really has gone by fast. As far as marriage, we do plan to get married but we both want to finish school first. (Just in case anyone was wondering)

I have started keeping my nephew Carter three days during the week until Lauren gets finished with school for the summer. Last week was my first week and it went really well. He was good as usual and we got to enjoy a lot of bonding time together. I will always remember and treasure this time I am able to have with him now.

My first summer class starts this Tuesday and I am not looking forward to it at all!!! I am looking forward to seeing my dear friend Julie though who is in town this weekend and a few days next week. I have really missed her and wish her and Chad would get their behinds back to Cleveland or somewhere closer!

Until next time....
