Memorial Weekend...projects and fun

I love long weekends! This weekend was no exception...we really just laid low for the weekend, and actually had a moment to think about what we are celebrating this weekend. It makes me truely grateful for the many women and men who put their lives in danger to protect our freedoms (I hope the leaders of our country don't forget that).

Anyway, getting an extra day with Jason is so great...no work, no stress, no schedules! Sadly it did rain alot this weekend, but we thought of things to do!

First of all...Jason and Reese played a little game with a diaper box! We turned the diaper box into a ride!

We also managed to cookout, even in the rain...and Reese had her first go at her own corn on the cob! I usually just cut if off for her...but today she wanted her own...and boy did she love it!

Jason and I worked hard on our own DIY project (well, Jason did most of the work). So, this is the before (very ugly dresser that has been in our guest room and I hate it...but)

Look at it now...have not found handles I like or that fit in budget yet, so the ribbon will have to do for now. I think it looks great!
Finally, we topped the weekend off with some pool time at Ross Bridge. Reese wowed lots of bystanders with her swimming skills. There are also some pics from the other weekend swimming. She has only had 4 lessons and she is a little fish!

Going full force at Ross Bridge!
