Happy Memorial Day ( a bit late )

The boys had a nice first memorial day weekend.

We headed out to townline with Grandma JoJo on Saturday....have I ever mentioned how good a burger with kielbasa on it is?

Then on Sunday the boys got to finally get over to visit with Nana and Papa Madsen. This was only the third time the boys have gotten to see them. We gotta make more of an effort to get them over there, I think they missed the Nana and Papa.

After visiting Nana and Papa we headed home to grill out. Now those of you who have eaten my grilled foods know just how dangerous that idea can be. Grilled out some corn on the cob and brats for me and Grandma JoJo, and some chicken and turkey burgers for Jamie. For the first time ever my food actually turned out good, well mostly at least. Grandma JoJo even said the brats and corn were very good. Jamie liked the turkey burger. However, to stay true to my grilling legacy, the chicken was so over done and dried out that Jamie couldn't even eat it. Well for me 3 out of 4 is doing great.

Then memorial day was kinda sad. Jamie had to work 3-7, so she was not able to go over to Grandma and Papa's with us. It was the the boy's first holiday without mommy. I'm sure that the boys really missed mommy cause they were quite cranky for the first hour or so that we had them outside. Of course they calmed down pretty good because there were so many people there that wanted to see the boys that they rarely had to sit in the strollers without anybody holding them. Around 6 it suddenly cooled off like 10 degrees in 5 minutes, so I brought the boys in the house. Alex fell asleep in his bouncy chair, but Kevin would not. So his cousin Alexus came in and talked to him. Kevin had the biggest smiles on his face that I have ever seen. He really really loved talking to Lexie. She was kneeling in front of him saying aboo and he would just smile and laugh. Of course as I have a habit of doing I forgot my camera at home. Hopefully Jamie/Kelly send me the pics soon and I'll post them.

Hopefully this is the last holiday that the boys have to be away from mommy, but until she finishes school I'm guessing there will be a couple more, and me and the boys will just have to accept that.
