A Few of My Favorite Memorial Day Moments

We're so excited that cold and flu season is over and that we can safely travel with Tage! Over Memorial Day weekend, we traveled to the Flathead Valley to visit Justin's brother, his wife, and their 3 boys (an 11 year old and 12 year old twins). What an awesome trip, despite the rain! I wanted to share a few of my favorite moments...

~As Huntlie and I were eating breakfast one morning, Lukas ran by and Huntlie spontaneously did the sign for "friend." Melt my heart cute!

~Tage went into Courtney and Jen's room one morning to visit them while they were waking up and signed "Uncle" for Courtney.

~Tanner called Tage and Huntlie his "best little buddies" and helped them put their sockies on.

~We loved hearing Logan play his violin for us.

~It was so funny to pack up the van with all 5 kids and listen to the goofy big boys singing songs from Tage and Huntlie's Signing Times video.
~I loved the familiar roads, sights, and smells of Lakeside.

~It was great to see my husband and his brother hanging out together again, acting like geeks and doing man stuff like splitting logs and building fence.

~I loved seeing Huntlie rest her head on Uncle Courtney's shoulder.

~Jen made her delicious taco salad, yet again! :0)

~It was so great to see Justin's aunt and uncle and cousin and laugh around the bon fire.

~I absolutely LOVE backyard bon fires.
~We had so much fun talking about and getting excited about another nephew on the way!

~It was great to see the hubby playing with Lukas, Logan, and Tanner...even if they were playing Slap Pong and came upstairs with welts on their backs. Super cute to hear them call him "Uncle Justin."
All in all, we had a fantastic weekend and it remineded me of how important family time is. We love our Flathead family and can't wait until the next get together. We decided try to make a Memorial Day Weekend an annual Carrier family event!
