Memorial Day Weekend Cookout

We had a cookout at our house on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend this year. It was a beautiful hot day so Austin and I took advantage of his blow up pool and the garden hose!

I taught Austin how to drink from the hose!Austin enjoyed trying to get everone wet!! Especially Lexi!

I liked playing with the balls from the Ladders game.

Lexi took Austin and I for rides in the wagon with the lawn mower. We really like doing this!

See....can't you tell!

Mommy wouldn't let me drive so I wanted down!

We had a good group with us! Aunt Kari, Uncle Mark, Uncle Matt, Daddy, Aunt Susan, Mommy, Austin, Lexi, Grammy Jo, Laurie Ann and Grandma Cindy. (Grandma Cindy is not pictured here because she is taking this photo. Thanks Grandma!) Grandma Cindy made homemade ice cream and it was so delicious!!!!!

Cousins Adela and Aidan were going to help walk their Grammy Carol down the isle so here they are waiting upstairs watching all of us downstairs.

We just loved the garden hose....thanks Daddy!

Diane is so much fun! She is so good with kiddies!

After the wedding, we made a stop at Bandidos (our favorite mexican restaurant from back home) before we came back to Indy. Since we had to wait a little bit for our table, Grammy entertained me on the bull ride! Don't worry, it was a very slow bull!

Daddy helped too!

Mmmmmmm....I LOVE SALSA too!!!

What a terrific day!

Cat, Possum and Coon...oh my!

Good morning Opossum!! We have a family of racoons living in our attic currently. In order to try to catch them, we have a box trap to catch them alive set up in our back yard. Since it has been set up, we have caught Buddy our cat, a possum and then finally the mama coon. Daddy took me out to see the possum as soon as I woke up! Ewwww!

Mommy decided I hadn't seen enough animals for one day so she took me to the zoo! It was a really nice day and the Cheetahs just arrived at the zoo. So, we ventured out into the heat to take a peak!

This is a mommy monky and her baby...kind of hard to see.

Here are the zebras and ostriches.
OH MY!!!! The brand new Cheetahs! Too bad this is as close as we could see and they just laid down the whole time. I wanted to race them!

Mommy and I shared a cherry sno cone to cool us down.

I am always SOOOO tired when I leave the zoo.

After the zoo, mommy and I picked up Aunt Kari and Aunt Susan from Susan's work. They went to Carb Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and got to ride in the huge Limo SUV.

We stopped to eat on the way home and I had so much fun with my Aunts!!

We are so goofy!

Then, when we dropped off Aunt Susan at home we played with Austin for a while. We took a wagon ride down to Grammy's but she wasn't home yet.

What a great day!!

Cousin from Colorado

Grammy's first cousin came into town for Great Aunt Carol's wedding over Memorial Day weekend. The first night she was here, Grammy had us all over for some homemade lasagna, pie and fun!

Here is Grammy with cousin Laurie Ann. Laurie is Grandpa Joe's brother - Roger's daugther. She has lived her whole life in Colorado as Uncle Roger and Aunt Kathleen moved there before they had children because they had bad asthma in Indiana. We wish we could see Laurie Ann and the rest of her family more often! We had a great time with her!

Aunt Susan let me play with her phone.
Daddy fed me fruit snacks

Earlier in the day, Mommy and I went to the playground for a while. It was HOT outside!

I love raisins
