Memories for Memorial Day Weekend

This long Memorial weekend was great! Mostly because I got my new iPhone.  I was able to capture many moments and am so excited about it!  Some people that don't have a 'smart phone' think this little technology device is just that and some even think it's a waste of money.  Not me!  This little device will allow me to: 

• make my blog better by providing me with quick access to pics and videos
• play games when I'm bored, which will ultimately keep my mind fresh
• it will also allow me to keep up with what's going on because of the convenient calendar
• to wake up on time because of the soothing alarm clock

Finally, it really reminds me what is important.  Not that I need to be reminded but it sure is nice to be able to look back at pictures like the ones below and be reminded of how lucky I am!  Friday after getting our new phones, I went with my parents and Nick to Culver's.  My favorites (ellie&jack) also joined us!

Then Nick and I went up north to his parent's cabin, just for one night but two full days.  We fished, went to the Flea Market, relaxed and I read a dozen magazines - I had a lot of PEOPLE news to catch up on :)  Oh and Nick caught a huge bass and his Dad caught a northern that matched his yellow shirt!

Memorial day started off with a pretty 'blah' parade in Merton, followed by ice cream and of course playing outside.  It was hot for baby and me but overall pretty perfect.

We wrapped up the weekend at home in the 69 degrees condo.  Nick was freezing but covered up with blankets.  I was content laying on the couch keeping cool and waiting for something exciting to happen.  All of a sudden there was a knock at the door and it was Ellie and gang! This made me very happy, I love visitors especially ones that I can kiss :)  Isn't she the cutest?!!?
