Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend was fun filled for the Furr Family. Friday was errand day for us and we actually got our grocery shopping done. Thank God for the Eagles Nest because then Derrick and I can have a meal before shopping and then tackle the list. My kids love being in the Eagles Nest so they feel like it's a treat to go. Jamison likes the free time of playing Wii since at home it's only used as a treat and he has to share with belle. Belle loves the crafts so she keeps her hands busy and stays out of trouble.

Satrday was our typical Saturday filled with gymnastics and tball. Saturday's are usually our busiest and by the end of the day it doesn't feel like any rest was accomplished.

Sunday we had an AMAZING day...We took our kids to Idlewild park and Soak Zone for the day. It was a wonderful experience and time for family. Jamison is my cautious non risk taker. So getting him on rides was like pulling teeth. He refused the rollar coaster and other rides. So derrick put his foot down and told him he had to ride something if he wanted to play a game at the end of the night. He surprised everyone and picked the Spider... This ride makes me sick just watching it. It was Derrick's turn to ride and by the end he felt like he wanted to hurl. Jamison said it was scary and never wanted to ride again. When he did play his game he picked the baseball throw and surprisingly he won. Neither derrick or I thought he would throw hard enough but of course he proved his parents wrong and knocked down the silly cats. I must have a pitcher on my hands. Izabelle on the other hand wanted more. She is our little dare devil. If it's fast and spins she's all about it. I know as soon as she can she'll be up on a 10 meter jumping off like I did as a kid. Easton got his first taste of pool water and he was not a happy baby at the temperature..But he enjoyed the day outside and was so tuckered out he actually slept the whole night (8-6) this made for some VERY happy parents.

Today (Memorial Day) was spent having fun and remembering those who have served. Jamison walked in his first parade and had a blast. I was so proud of my little boy. Derrick participated in a local memorial service and honored those that served before him. It was a touching service and it made me stop and think about those who have lost our lives fighting for freedom. Those men and women gave the ultimate price. Their blank check was cashed in by this country. The least we can do is honor them and remember. They are never forgotten. Thank you to all my friends and friends husbands who serve. We all have our roles in this military life and each one is just as important.
