We had a GREAT weekend!

This past weekend we went to Columbus to spend the weekend with Aunt Mary, Uncle Larry, and Russell. We always have a great time at their house because there is so much fun stuff to do. They have 2 boats so we usually take them to the river and they also have a pool at their house! Saturday we took both boats out (the boys on one and the girls and Landon on the pontoon) and we stayed on the river all day. Aunt Mary had the BEST idea ever....she put a small pool in the pontoon boat and filled it with clean water before we left and Landon played in the pool all day. He was soooo good! When we got home that night Uncle Larry grilled some steaks and chicken and then we all went to bed. Have you ever noticed how the sun makes you so tired? It really wears me out! Sunday we got up and ate a good breakfast and then we went swimming. We bought Landon the cutest little floats for the swimming pool and he HATES them. He wants you to just turn him loose and let him swim on his own...only problem is he is 1 and doesn't know how to swim! We even put his little pool out by the big pool which was great, UNTIL someone would get in the big pool and then the little pool didn't seem so great any more, but hey you can't win em all! We had lots of fun, good food, and great family time! Thank you Aunt Mary, Uncle Larry, and Russell for having us. One of these days I hope we can repay you for all the good times you have given us, we are so thankful for all of you! Here are some pictures of our great weekend! He loved the float....at first!

He wanted to swim on his own! Look at Jason's face in the below....Landon got pretty excited! Russell and his nice boat...lucky kid!Aunt Mary's wonderful idea below! Oh and we were parked on the beach...that is why he didn't have a life jacket on. Trust me, he wore one!

Also, I just wanted to share this....My Meme had to be put in the hospital Saturday morning due to dehydration (she has the stomach flu) and they kept her Saturday and Sunday night. I talked to my Mom this morning and she said that Meme is feeling alot better and she might even get to come home today. Everyone please keep her in your prayers! I love you, Meme!

One more prayer request.....Aunt Mary, Uncle Larry, and Russell are traveling to Florida this coming weekend, please pray that they have a safe trip!
