Happy Memorial Day!

It's been awhile. I know. I've been meaning to blog, but we have been quite busy around here. We had back-to-back out of town wedding weekends and the week nights are usually just as crazy. 


So finally after a few days off and being able to catch up on other neglected things around the house, I'm getting to the blog. :) 


Tomorrow is Memorial Day and we celebrated with Scott's brother, Ryan, his wife, Katie, and they're three month old son, Hayes, coming for a visit yesterday and today. It's so fun watching Landen check out Hayes. If he's crying, she's studying the source of the noise (which keeps her noise level down for a change). It's funny that our family's former tradition of late night visiting has turned into four tired parents ready for bed at ten o'clock! 


Today, the whole family attended a baby shower for one of Scott's cousins who is expecting a baby girl in September. Quite a change has occurred at these gatherings as well because over the past year six babies have been added to the family. There are babies galore....with more to come this fall! 


I'll introduce you to the baby family...


This is Annabelle, the first of the 2010-2011 baby boom.

Next came Landen.

Then we rounded out the summer with the twins, Avery and Addison.


Then this winter we welcomed Everett...

And Hayes...

Plus we're adding two more (that we know of) this fall. Let's just say that things are going to be crazy (and fun) as we watch all of these little ones grow.

Now that all the excitement is over for the weekend, I think we'll take tomorrow to just relax and enjoy the nice weather. Thank you to all of the servicemen and women past, present and future for protecting our family, American citizens, and many others around the world.
