Memorial Day Weekend

This is a picture taken earlier in the week. We were at my cousin Pam's house and Lilly showed Julia how to hang upside down on the ab roller exercise thingie.

Friday

Joe and I had a wedding rehearsal at church. After, we met up with my mom, dad, Julia, Kara and Rob to celebrate Kara's birthday. Below is Julia toasting a marshmallow. Notice how far away Julia is standing from the fire. I guess she is still scarred from the incident with Joe's birthday candles.

Julia tasting her "chocolate sandwich" as she called it.

Julia and Kara when we sang Happy Birthday. Don't worry no candles this time!

Rob was so cute. He planned this whole party for Kara. Calling with the invites (Kara just wanted something small so don't be offended that you weren't called), dinner, dessert. Rob decorated and even had gifts for the guests to take home. Little containers with different kinds of candy. He made a special one for my dad with sugar free candy in it.

Saturday

I had to work for a few hours but I was out by 12:30. The three of us went over Joe's parent's house because Mema and Papa had a surprise. A car for Julia! She was so excited. She drove from Mema and Papa's to Grand Mema's (of course she stopped to pick some flowers along the way). It only took her a few minutes to get the hang of turning and backing up.

Next the three of us went to Burger King for dinner. Julia wanted to leave with a crown for everyone she knew. (you can thank me later)

Sunday

We went to a picnic at my aunt and uncle's new house. Here is my mom, Joe, and Julia.

Gram and all the great grand kids (except Lacey....was a little pissed she kept getting in for the picture but I didn't want to be mean)
We left the party after a few hours and had to go to the emergency room. Julia had been complaining about some pain she was having. She was beside herself at one point. So we went to the ER because our doctor wasn't going to be in until monday afternoon and I didn't want the poor kid to go that long. She is now on antibiotics. (which I had to get at Walgreens because CVS was closed) I know how embarrassing. She was a trooper. Julia never goes to the doctor or the hospital and when she does she is scared and screaming and crying the whole time. This time she was calm and giggling and thought it was hysterical that she had to pee in cup.

Monday

Today I had to work again but Julia and her Daddy had a low key day. They went out for breakfast together. Julia took a bath and got all cleaned up. Shortly after Joe sent me this video at work. Julia decided she wanted to be pink so she colored herself with markers. Not much else to report.

We hope your weekend was just as fun and relaxing.
