Memorial Day Weekend

What a great way to start the summer. Being a teacher is great...always having weekends, holidays, and random breaks off...but having a husband who works many weekends is hard. This weekend was special for us because we had all four days to spend together as a family. Even Tyler said he was on vacation. For all of you who don't know, Tyler works and he makes apple juice at his work!

We got the boat out of storage on Saturday and it fired right up. Hemlock Lake is quite small, but for a 3 year old it is the greatest lake ever. Tyler loved driving and Sam of course wouldn't sit still. It was nice to see the boat and how excited Tyler was to find out it was "ours". Tyler has become daddy's little shadow fixing and helping at every chance. So it was great for the two boys to go get the boat and put it in at the landing and then come pick us girls up.


With Samantha going to bed at 7:30 we can now have fires. Last summer fires were hard. Tyler was unpredictable and Sam would get up 4 times a night for bottles. Dan and I went to bed as early as possible. We had smores everynight. FYI...4 roasted marshmellows are only 100 calories! Oh, and marshmellows will make a tired little boy talk your ear off! Marshmellows do to Tyler what a few drinks do to Uncle Jim...YEAH!

Another great weekend for the Houston family!
