Memorial Day Giveaway to Kick Off Summer!

I’m enjoying the weekend bike riding and playing with the family. There’s a birthday party Monday afternoon for a friend. Great weather and family time!

Yesterday, we went grocery shopping and bought all of the items for our barbecue.

Today, I am having a barbecue for family and friends. Margaritas will be served!!

we did the normal swimming, grilling, playing on the swing set, water balloon fights, baseball, etc.

My kid’s godmother and her kids came to town. Last night we did pizza and stuffed potatoes and steak salads. She and I stayed up and watched PS I Love You. That is a must see!!!
Today, the kids are swimming, swinging and eating leftover pizza.
I made Monkey Bread and bacon for breakfast and we’re about to crack open our first cold beers and I’m going to be grilling Chicken and Veggies for our ‘big meal’, and after dark, it’ll be coffee malts on the patio with the tiki torches blazing to keep away the skeeters.
It’s a great holiday. Fantastic Giveaway, what fun!!

wow a giveaway cool as for what i’m doing this weekend well just going to have fun with family and friends thanks

Happy Memorial Day! Our son is home from college and our high school son has a day off. Even my husband had a full three days
off. Actually, we are spending it enjoying each other’s company!
Now, that our boys are older, it is enjoyable having the four of us together! It is raining cats and dogs here today. We have battled each other in video games and had a wonderful meal together. Last evening, our oldest son’s girlfriend joined us for dinner as did my 90 year old day. What fun it is to have a group aged 16-90!!!!! My sons and their dad have been able to get a few times outside to play catch! Also, our sons got to pick what they wanted for their Memorial Day meal! I made them their favorite pie called “Bishop’s Pie!” Since my dad and many of my uncles served in WWII, we take time to remember all the veterans who have lost their lives for our freedom. These family weekend tend to go way to quickly. Thanks,Cindi

I am having a fantastic holiday. Friends and family are over for great food and a huge bonfire.

We’ve had some weird weather so far, with snow even! Today we’ll be having a bbq, with some family and friends.

Its been a busy weekend so far.. middle daughter played in the school band in a parade yesterday, and then our niece graduated high school. today daughter is singing in the choir at her school. and tomorrow hubby and i will be part of the memorial day ceremonys in town, carrying flags, firing rifles etc. and daughter will be playing in the band again.. busy busy busy..lol

We are building an arbor/fire escape off of the front porch. We recently renovated our upstairs gameroom into my teenage daughter’s bedroom and needed a fire escape. We are also doing chores for our neighbors/friends. Their 9 year old son is in Ft. Worth having brain surgery. Any and all prayers would be much appreciated!! Have a safe and fabulous weekend….summer!

My job always keeps me busy during holidays. I am a pet sitter. So, needless to say, if holidays get celebrated within my family, it’s a few days later or before. I am looking forward to having time with my granddaughters!

We had a few friends over and we had a cookout. It was great the kids had so much fun in the little pool we just bought. Today we went for a bike ride and that to was nice. Just spending time
together. Thanks!

My family and I went swimming this afternoon. It was nice just relaxing with family

We had family over for a cookout and Monday we’re having a bbq with some friends!! I’m excited to get projects done cause my husband has the day off!!

Fixed the roof on our patio, rearranged furniture on the patio, planted flowers, and barbecued for family. Chilln’ out now with the torches going to keep the bugs away. Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday.

We are enjoying the weekend by staying at home taking a well deserved break.

Time with family! Picking strawberries, visiting friends, swimming, cooking out… and tomorrow (Memorial Day) we will honor those who served and visit a memorial tribute.

Even with gas prices so high, hubby and I took a day trip to the northern part of the state and checked out a casino up there. We signed up for comp cards and they gave us a free buffet meal - it was delicious. We enjoyed just getting away for a few hours.

Had a fun family outing and watched the new Indy Jones movie at the cinema Awesome fun.

BBQ and resting by the pool….we live in Florida where it now storms by 3pm…so we are starting early…Have a wonderful day

I had all my children, grandchildren and my best friend over to grill. After it got dark, we had “drive-in night”. We set up the large screen, the projector, the surround sound system and lots of chairs in the backyard.. We watched Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium and Superbad. We had a grand time.

We are spending time outdoors with the kids. Having a campfire later.

We spent all our time as a family. Just the four of us enjoying the deck, screened in gazebo, the kids sand table, and watched the kids play together. So far we have eaten every meal out here since lunch yesterday. It was amazing having breakfast out here this morning which my husband cooked (scrambled eggs, biscuits, home fries, and ham). My favorite time had to be having the kids fall asleep out here under our star lights and big comforters while we enjoyed the breezy, beautiful evening.

Enjoying my mini vacation with family and friends. Hanging out with my 4 year old nephew. Love it..

I did’nt really do much over the weekend. Just took it easy and spent it with my son.

I spent the earlier part of the weekend moving into my new place. Today, I’m spending the day relaxing.

On Saturday mu husband & I got a sitter (THIS IS HUGE, we don’t do it to often) and took his 1972 Charger to a classic car show. We cooked on the grill when we got home. Sunday was spent hanging out with our three daughters and Monday has been more of the same with a little laundry and dishes thrown in for good measure.

Cooking, cleaning, washing clothes. You know….the usual.

We went to Disneyland Thursday, to beat the crowd. (We live nearby) Sunday, we went to see Prince Caspian. Today, we all slept in late, because no one had work or classes. We’ll go to the gym early, and maybe take a hike later. (Weather and energy permitting.)
