Memorial Day

Here's a few pictures from Memorial Day. We rode our bikes up to the parade in the morning and then took Landon and Jack to the Splash Pad around noon. They had a great time in the water! This is Kelsey's last week of school and then it's summer break. She and Landon can't wait! Hope everyone has a great week.

Thomas the Train

On Sunday we went with our friends, Bob, Rachel and Jack to ride Thomas the Train. The boys had so much fun. They were able to play on many inflatable things (mazes, slides, trains) get tattoos, play with train tables and of course ride on Thomas. The actual train ride was about 30 minutes and the boys had so much fun. The weather was beautiful and we had such a fun day!

The first weekend of May

The first weekend of May, we went to Hannibal, Sherman, Lincoln and Decatur for Cara's Graduation, Mother's Day and Grandpa McQuality's funeral. We were very busy, and it was a whirlwind of emotions for the 5 days we were there. However, we got to spend a lot of time with our family and that was great. It was really nice to see both of our extended families pretty much the entire time that we were home. Landon did great traveling and was wonderful the entire long weekend. We are so lucky to have such a sweet little boy.

Landon and Daddy went swimming at the hotel in Hannibal Saturday morning before graduation.

Landon was fearless and enjoyed every second!

Sweet Chloe

- Congratulations on graduating, Cara! We know you will make a wonderful teacher and volleyball coach and ANY school would be lucky to have you. All these interviews will pay off soon!

-Landon and Matt got me a wonderful Mother's Day present. It is a pendant to wear on a chain with Landon's fingerprint on it. His name and the date are engraved on the back. I LOVE it and couldn't imagine a more perfect gift. Thanks boys, you are the best and I am lucky to have you both!

-Thank you for everything, Grandpa McQuality! You and Grandma were the sweetest people we have ever met and we will cherish the time we got to spend with you and all of the memories!
