Memorial Day Weekend

What's not to love about long weekends? Our Memorial Day was perfect! We joined my sister & Michael at my parents' house on Friday night and got to spend the whole weekend together! It was SO nice just to get to hang out together AND to get the extra help with Josie. (We even got to sleep in!!!)
Here are some of the highlights of our weekend. Starting with Josie's absolute favorite thing - her new swing from Granddaddy that he installed on their newly-remodeled deck (that's one talented Grandaddy you've got there Josie). The "Supercruiser" was definitely a huge hit - as you'll see in the next few photos!
She loved it!

And once she learned how to hang on, she could swing even higher. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
You wouldn't think it could get any better for Josie, until Grandma busted out the baby pool. Josie was in heaven. Check her out!

And, after some splashing around, it was time for warming up in the sunshine. I couldn't resist a quick photo of that precious little tushy.
On to the annual Roundtree bash featuring our very own concert by Granddaddy & the Dwellers. That's Granddaddy on the keys, Kevin on the bass, Pat on the drums, and Bill (is a Jedi) on Aretha his beautiful new guitar.

Scratch that - it's Josephine on the drums. We figured she loves banging on the pots & pans with wooden spoons at home so she was bound to love a real drumset. And we were SOOO right. Looks like we've got a little drummer girl on our hands.
Seriously - both hands at once? Two different drums even? And the cymbals?! This kid is a rockstar in the making.
The party at Chrissy & Kevin's house was great! We got to see longtime friends, spend time with family, eat lots of yummy food, etc. And Josie definitely enjoyed being in the middle of all of the action.
Sunday was another exciting day. After all the fun, Josie was definitely in major need of a bath. Here she is in Grandma's kitchen sink. Does it get any cuter than this??

Then we were off to Debbie & Phillip's house for another cookout. Here's Josie being entertained by her favorite Xenia friends - Kalie and Claire. It's so strange because I totally remember when Claire was Josie's age! Time flies!
Josie got to spend lots of time with Aunt Manda and her growing tummy (check out www.threeaustins.blogspot.com)
All in all, it was a perfect holiday weekend!! Oh - before I go - two more random photos to share because they make me laugh.

The first is Josie's latest funny habit. We removed the bar across her stroller because it was kind of pointless, but there are these little holes where it used to connect. Now whenever she gets in her stroller, she finds the holes, sticks her fingers in them, and rides around like that all day. Too funny!

And lastly, I just had to share Josie's "what ya talkin' about Willis" face. I have no idea what she was looking at, but it's clear that she didn't like it whatever it was.
