Holiday Weekend

We had a good holiday weekend. Matt was able to go to the race on Sunday (an annual tradition now) with his friend Josh. Josh's wife, Jody and their two children were able to come over after the race was finished. We had a great time watching our children play, eating, drinking, and talking. The boys were even able to get in some soccer until the ball went over the neighbor's fence (oops!). It was great weather and I hope that we are able to enjoy many more nights like this over the summer.

My mom and I took the kids downtown while Matt was at the race. It was a perfect time to go since many people were at the race or out of town. We walked around monument circle and had lunch at the mall. It was nice to get all the kids out of the house. Everyone was very well behaved and enjoyed themselves. I think the highlight for Jackson was riding the escalator with Nana about 5 times. The longer I have been a mom the more amazed I am about how the smallest thing can excite a child. Why we bother to buy toys or go to lengths to go somewhere when they enjoy the simple things is something I still am learning:).

Grant and Liam are now 11 months old. They are getting to be such big boys. Can't believe it has almost been a year since they were born. This year has gone by the fastest yet!

Today my dad was here to visit for a few hours and the rest of the day we just hung around the house and enjoyed being lazy (well, as lazy as you can be with 4 kids!).

Above are some photos of the twins and Josh and Jody's little boy Logan playing this weekend and a picture of the twins at 11 months old. Enjoy!
