Memorial Day weekend!


Well as if our week wasn't exciting enough last week we had an equally crazy weekend. 

Emily took her first trip to Henderson...  
We first stopped off for a visit to my mom's office, I'm sure we'll be back though on another visit.  We also visited my aunt Ruby and uncle Thomas, had a cook-out at Sam & Tashia's with all the Wilder's, went to church, had some visitors come by (to see my dad and Emily), and went to Target!  Phew!

Side Note: My dad is doing excellent!  We watched him like a hawk all weekend and he was very good at not doing too much (not lifting anything over 4lbs).  And Emily's test was fine but the doctor did give her a prescription of Zantac for her acid reflux and she is a much happier baby.  No big spit ups so far!  Praise God!

But the most exciting thing that happened this weekend was my sister getting ENGAGED!!  Allyson and Matt got engaged on Friday while visiting the beaches of the Florida Gulf.  We're really excited for them and can't wait to see them this coming weekend for a little celebration.  Maybe Emily will get to be a flower girl! No date has been set yet, they're just enjoying the moment for now.  Poor Matt tried all week to ask my dad for permission-my dad jokes that it gave him a heart attack! He didn't have a heart attack though...and you wonder where we get our flair for drama from! :)

We finished the weekend with a fun cookout at Blaine's parents home with Aunt Kelli and some friends.  Everything was delicious and we had a great time. Emily looked especially cute and patriotic in her red, white and blue crab outfit (wish i had taken a picture). :)

It was a busy fun weekend full of friends and family meeting Emily for the first time.  She was a real trooper the whole weekend.  We're not sure if it was the country air or all the visiting but Emily slept for 7 hours on Friday night and 8 hours on Saturday night while we were in Henderson! Amazing!

We salute our heroes and their families that gave their life for our freedom. Thank you isn't enough for your sacrifice. God Bless America!
