Memorial Day Weekend!




We wanted to go out of town this weekend. We decided gas prices were to high to go and we were going to go out of town for a reunion soon anyways. We still wanted to get away and decided to go camping up at Mt.Charelston. Friday came and it started snowing in the mountains. We thought maybe we shouldn't. Plan C came around and it stuck. We ended up going to the Las Vegas 51's game. Anyone who has gone knows you must take friends. So we went with the Fitzgibbons. They endured our crazy family of girls. It was a lot of fun!

On Monday we had an eventful day. We started out by putting our flag up. I dedicated it to my grandpa who passed away last year. He served in World War II. He really was a hero in many ways and very patriotic. We called him grandpa doodle bug because he was so silly and fun. My girls still talk about him. We continue to miss him. Then while I was getting the girls ready Rick came upstairs and told me he had smashed the windshield to his car. I started to laugh. He didn't think it was so funny. He then told me what happened. He has hooks on the ceiling in the garage where he hangs stuff. He tried to get the stroller down and knocked the water jug. It hit the windshield and smashed it on the drivers side. I thought the jug did a pretty good job on his car. We then got the girls pictures taken at J.C. Penney. Brittany, who is never good for professional pictures, was an angel. I will post them when I get them. We then went to Ryan and Ambers. We played at a park near their house. We had a great time. We then had a barbecue at a friends house. We were wiped out by the end. All and all it was a great Day!




"Oh say can you see...." you know the
rest.

I totally understand car troubles! But if you are going to do it, you might as well do it with style!
