happy memorial day

Happy Memorial Day!  I hope you all have a fabulous day planned.  Regardless of how you plan to celebrate, take a moment today to be thankful for those who serve.

AND now, before I go any further, I have to brag...

Remember this post, where I told you about my little sister booking a national Dairy Queen commercial?  Well, it began airing this weekend and she made the cut!  She may be in others that are released throughout the summer, but in the meantime, we have stopped fast forwarding through DVR'd shows in the hopes we will see her in all her DQ uniformed glory.  Way to flip that Blizzard, Chicken Little!

While I spent some time with my books this weekend, I also got to sneak in some fun.

Friday, we went to dinner with the Skinners and the Coopers,  and Josh and I got an education in eating pizza with toddlers!  The littlest members of our party (ages 1 and 2) were so adorable that we kept them up past their bedtime and sugared them up with ice cream before we called it a night.

gotta have those sprinkles to make it a true yobe experience

Saturday, we celebrated our family friend's graduation from high school!  Javi is headed to Florida this summer and we could not be more excited to have another Gator!

"kids" (+ "the mom" according to one spectator...)
javi is in the orange and blue tie- perfect for bolles graduation and upcoming gator games!

Sunday was spent catching up on Florida Civil Procedure and Contracts.  I wish I could say it was riveting reading, but instead I have to be content with the fact that it will be over soonish.  I also snuck in a little poolside takeout with Josh and Rebecca as a treat at the end of the day.

nothing like chicken fingers and the pool

Now, what can we do to make every weekend a three day weekend?!
