Memorial Day Friends

As much as I love to look at pictures of my kids, I kind of think it's a good idea to change the pictures now and then. Yep. I'm a flake. I really don't have a great reason to have let my blog slide. Sorry. Will catch up. Like I said, flake.

Yesterday was Memorial Day. Yeah - kids out of school, husband off work . . . kind of fun. We had some friends over for food and good conversation. AND we had lots of food. Here are some pictures to check out~

I know I already mentioned the food. I just feel the need to explain why the food is so important. The yum factor plays an important part of a day that I plan on having company. I just love the idea of eating yummy food with others that can appreciate it as much as I do. So - thanks to the Sederholms and the Merryweathers for providing and enjoying the feast with us. A special thanks to Carp for making this gorgeous dutch oven teriyaki chicken. Oh yeah, it was good!
Carp and Cameron.

Nathanael and Cyndi Sederholm. I have to think twice when I write the first name of all of the Sederholms. They spell their names beautifully, but I initially want to spell them Nathaniel, Cindy, and Karl.
Carl (Carl Daddy as Sammy affectionately calls him) and Sam.
Lanette Lagerstrom
Nathan and Shelby playing leapfrog. I can guarantee life is never dull with these two around.

Seth relaxing.

The birthday boy! Nicholas Alexander Merryweather. It's just to impressive NOT to type that name. Love it.

Merryweathers and Mellotts - practically one in the same.

One of the best things about kids birthdays is how they react to their presents. I was too busy laughing and having fun watching Nick open his gifts to remember to take anymore pictures. You'll just have to check out Tammy's blog to get those. They are priceless.

There you have it. I blogged! I will try to post stuff that has been going on since March and keep up on whats happening now.

Neighborhood friends are lifelong friends! I love that you all have such a great situation over in your neck of the woods. I love that all the kids just co-mingle and enjoy each other.

Mmmmm. Looks tasty and SO much fun! I loved the leapfrog picture. What timing! (Not to mention the amazing feat that it was.)

And that red haired girl. Hard to tell from a pic, ;) but she looks like the kind of girl that would be so much fun to hang out with! You know... somewhere... like at girls' night...
