Yesterday morning Brad washed his car before heading off to work.\u00a0 The girls joined right in because their car was dirty, too.\u00a0 It’s amazing how much fun one little water hose can create for 2 little maniacs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My pretty little maniac!\u00a0 She’s wild, she’s giggly, she’s so much fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you know that I could just eat that little face?\u00a0 Those sweet little eyes make me melt!<\/p>\n

“Can I wash you cah, Mama?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And what was Preston doing while the girls were giggling and squealing in the water?\u00a0 He was drying Daddy’s car off.\u00a0 Not exactly willingly, but he did a great job.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Later we went to Brad’s parents’ house for some fun in the sun.\u00a0 It was the first day we had been in the pool since last year, and George (Brad’s dad) has worked all week getting the water ready for us.\u00a0 It was a PERFECT day with family!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Look, Mama!\u00a0 I put my goggles on all by myself!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My sweet niece, Claire, spent her time teaching my girls to swim.\u00a0 They LOVE her!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Preston LOVES his cousin Garrett!\u00a0 They have a blast together…being goofy, hanging out, playing sports and chess (Garrett taught Preston how to play chess.\u00a0 I have no idea how to play chess…or sports for that matter.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There was always someone lounging in the hammock.\u00a0 I took a LONG nap in it, and it was wonderful!\u00a0 This is my beautiful niece, Tayler.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My tired little man after a long day in the sun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What a wonderful was to start the weekend…and the summer.<\/p>\n

We’re so blessed to be able to spend time regularly with our family.\u00a0 We’re so blessed to be able to enjoy freedom, to live in this great nation, to be able to worship the Lord freely, to be able to attend church and school, to have choices and rights.<\/p>\n

I am thankful for all the men and women who have BRAVELY given us this freedom.\u00a0 I’m especially grateful for my little brother!\u00a0 I’m proud of you for serving our country for 8 years!\u00a0 Thank you, Taylor, and to all who have given their time, their freedom, their family, their lives to allow us to have moments like these.\u00a0 Thank you for your service and dedication!\u00a0 Happy Memorial Day!<\/p>\n
