Memorial Day



We had all the kids out for the holiday.
And since I am now bringing in a paycheck again, we felt we could finally go out and get ourselves a new barbecue!!!  So Del and I went out early Monday morning to Lowes to hit the sales and we got ourselves a nice barbecue that Jordan and Del spent the nest 2-3 hours putting together; (with Lexi's much needed supervision).  We had a wonderful barbecued chicken dinner, Sean and Becky made taffy and then there were water balloons and volleyball to be played out in the front yard.  Sean had been sunburned from the day before and was barely able to move, let alone participate in the games, but he was a sport to be with us at all.  It was a nice, relaxing holiday...and a 'paid holiday' at that.
Del, with the help of Jordan and a young man in our ward, has been able to repaint and put together a really nice play set/swing set monkey bars set on the side of the house for the kids to play on.  It looks really great and will allow many fun years for the grand kids to enjoy.
Speaking of grand kids....
Look what they have been up to....

Madison is sitting up by herself now...sooo big!!!
And Preston is just getting so big, his vocabulary getting bigger and bigger and his singing abilities with the Primary songs have progressed to where he has 'Popcorn Popping' down to perfection!  He loves to throw rocks at Papa's house and his new favorite???  Water Balloons!!!!!  We try to stay continually stocked with balloons for any possible fun he may want to have. He also loves sharks....and has just gone from his crib to his new 'big boy bed' with his sheets being what???  Sharks and whales.  His mommy and daddy say he is doing well in his new bed.
