Labor Day

Labor Day finally arrived!

Eli enjoyed spending some time with Uncle Rick. Mom and Dad whipped up a big 'ol breakfast-Eggs, Pancakes (Edgar 'flipped' those) sausage, hash browns & cinnamon rolls. We all ate out in the shed...and I think I speak for everyone when I say we all ate too much :)

After breakfast we all headed to the pool. Julean likes to swim in the 'kiddie pool'. We tried to put Eli in it too, but he didn't like it very much...

Randee showing off her jumping skills...

Apparently Julean wasn't too thrilled with the kiddie pool either...


Eli had way more fun in the 'big pool' with daddy :)

'Ummmm....can you tell I was wearing goggles?'

'Daddy is SO funny!'


'Jump through the hole!'


Eli sat in this 'panda boat' and had a GREAT time. I think he could have stayed in it all day!

Gettin' some Matthias time :)


A bunch of us went to the garage to help husk the corn. It was done in no time!

The corn was SO good!

I thought this was a nice picture of us with Grandpa.

'Push, Julean!'

This is the finished product of the cookies I decorated. I made 38 cookies total. They were nice and colorful...and they tasted good too :)

Corn on the cob anyone? I think I goofed up...I said we had chicken on Sunday...actually we had hot dogs on Sunday. We had the chicken on Labor Day :) Super tasty!





This is a little video clip of Grandpa praying for lunch. It was pretty special to hear him pray. Every time I hear him pray it brings back memories of him praying in the past. His words get a little mixed up, but his prayers are heard :) (Oh...and, no, I didn't close my eyes during the prayer....)


The weekend was so incredibly nice. I am so glad we were able to be here to see everyone.

Most people left shortly after lunch. We spent the afternoon just hanging out. (Side note....I finally got my running shoes on and ran. I actually went 3 miles! Yahoo! That's the first time I ran 3 miles since before I was pregnant! It felt pretty good too) That evening we were all pretty exhausted. We kinda all parked in front of the tv and watched several 'King of Queen's' episodes. It was nice to just 'chill out' for a bit.

Okay so I used your jogging stroller on Monday and loved it! I did the walk/jog thing about 2 miles. I doubt I will ever run 3 miles, but stranger things have happened. So, now I know more of what to look for in a jogger...if indeed I will use it for excercise. I could roller blade with it too?! right? Your cookies look perfect and so pretty. We are so glad you are having fun.

THANK YOU so much for putting that video clip on of Grandpa! That is just beyond precious and so very sweet to see and listen to over and over. I especially love all the baby-voices in the background and Julean beside him... that IS Julean, right??? :) Thanks, Rochel!
