Memorial Day Weekend

Saturday we had something sad happen (depending on who you ask I guess). The black chicken below, Squeak, got eaten by a neighbor's dog. Well we assume he was eaten. He got carried off and we haven't seen him since. The darn dogs keep coming back and so Tyler's always worried about the rest of his birds. But he tells the story very matter-of-factly, not really like he's sad. So I guess that's a good thing. This was the most recent picture taken of him.

They weren't caged up at the time, so I'm sure that as long as we keep them in their little pen, the dogs will stay away (although the bigger one could just step on it, and the smaller dog could jump over it...) But we're all over it, and it's really not that big of a deal haha.

Saturday night we had our friends, the Pearsons, over for dinner. The kids all loved to play with the birds and we had a great time with them. The sweetest thing happened on Saturday after Tyler woke up from his nap, Brynlee was already up. They were so excited to see each other and they just hugged, and stayed in this hug for like a whole minute! It was definitely the sweetest mommy moment! :) I love that they're such good buddies.

Sunday after church Brynlee woke up with a fever and has had a hard time keeping it down ever since. That's no fun. But another cute picture with Tyler...

He got his pants a little wet when he was out with the birds after church. So he took his pants and shoes off, slipped on his flip flops and came strutting in the house. He looked just like James Bond, or the guy on Mr and Mrs. Smith! It was so funny :)

Sunday evening we took the ducks and geese down to the lake to try to get them used to it. This is how Kenny brought them down...in the stroller!! I thought it was so funny.

They really didn't like it at all and would get out as soon as Kenny let them.

Monday: HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. It was so nice to have Kenny home from work. I was able to make an apron with him home, and it turned out really cute. I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to Rochelle (I was supposed to have it done like 2 months ago from a service auction for Relief Society) but I really liked it and wished I could've kept it for myself :). We tried to take the ducks and geese to the beach and let them swim again. They still hated it, but we had fun.

She still wasn't feeling well, which was kidn of nice because she's normally jumping in the water, but she wasn't very excited about it at all so I got a little break :)

My most favorite picture. Kenny rolled up his shorts to take the geese out a little farther. Woot! Woot!!

That night we went over to our friends, the Kraudes, for a swim and bbq. The Pearsons were there too and we all had a fabulous time. It was so nice to celebrate Memorial Day with friends, since we can't do it with family.
