memorial day weekend

we had a good memorial day weekend this year!  i kept 2 of austin's friends thursday and friday.  they had a good time playing, but i think by friday they were ready to go home, and austin was ready to have everything to herself again.  ha!

after they left on friday afternoon, my dad and stepmom came and got austin for a couple of days to give me a break! i didn't know what to do with myself! :) austin also got to see one of her cousins while she was away.

ben and i had date night saturday night (with bennett) :) and i had a pasta with crab. i was sick all. night. long. it was horrible. i didn't know if i could make the drive to get austin, but i reaaaaally needed to go to target, so i got myself in gear. after we had lunch and did our errands, we went to ann marie's house to visit, and also so that i could feed and change bennett. austin loves her.

she cracked me up on the ride home. she looked so grown.

we spent memorial day with each other. daddy grilled us steaks, we played outside, and had fun!

so thankful for the men and women in uniform that have given their lives for our freedom!  we will always be in debt to you and your families!
