Happy Memorial Day

We are so blessed to live in this country. We have so many rights that others do not have. We owe all of that to those that defend our country. Today is a special day to celebrate that. Thank you to all who have fought, are fighting or will fight for our country. We are blessed because of you.

This morning started off great. Eva and I met Meghan and Julia at Coffee Bean in Newport. They were in town for the weekend visiting family. It was so fun to have a girls morning out. We had a great visit and hope to see them again real soon.
We ran a few errands and then headed home. We got home and Cody and Kevin were getting everything together to head down to the beach. It was a beautiful day. We spent a few hours down on the beach with all of the cousins, aunties, uncles, mimi and poppy.

Eva was enjoying the beautiful day and her funny cousins.

Surf's up, dude!

Auntie Rochelle is in town for Uncle Kyle's surgery.

After soaking up a few rays we headed home for nap time. Cody and Eva both took a nap and Kevin and I worked on some food for our afternoon BBQ. Kevin was making ribs and hamburgers. I was working on these cute cupcakes that I found online. They looked like the bomb pop popsicle. They tasted really good, but weren't nearly as cute as these ones. Oh well, I didn't get a picture of mine. We had a great afternoon celebrating with our families. God has been so good to us. Here are a few more cute pictures from the fun afternoon.
