The last weekend in May we spent the weekend enjoying each other and the outdoors.  Xavier, Kate's nephew, joined us for the fun along with the Reynold boys. The kids had a blast and we adults had fun watching the kids play during the day and then enjoyed our adult time when they went to bed:)  We busted out the karaoke machine and were up in the wee hours sounding like rock stars, or so we thought;)

My cousin's wife Emily works at the Durham and we were invited to the opening for their Dinosaur exhibit in May.  The girls had a great time seeing the exhibits and I had a great time sampling the food & drinking the wine;)

It seems like Mother's Day was forever ago so here is a little photo dump from that weekend. We tilled and planted our garden, fished, and spent time together.  Liv rode the four wheeler for the first time that weekend and she was so proud of herself as was I.  Always a great time had at the lake:)

Sick day

The girls were sick a few weeks back on a Monday.  I had the pleasure of staying home with them which is always a special treat for a mom only day.  This particular sick day did not feel sick at all:)  Harper had pink eye (which ended up being viral and not contagious) was the main reason we had to stay home.  They both had coughs so I decided to keep Liv home too since we had to be home for Harper.   Sick day did not feel "sick" because instead of laying around watching movies all day, they had all this energy to play.  We played with play dough, built forts, played instruments, took silly pictures, etc.  We did get a few short movies in and took a nap.  It was a good day of playing hooky:)
