celebrating with a game of tug-of-war

"peace out"

Boys will be boys

I have no idea what Kyle does to his socks to make them like this. And I guess the newest "in-thing" is to wear the tongues tucked under....not! This is the main reason why I don't spend alot of money on brand name shoes. They never last for more than a few months.

Remembering those who served

As we stand here looking
At the flags upon these graves
Know these flags represent
A few of the true American brave

They fought for their Country
As man has through all of time
Except that these soldiers lying here
Fought for your country and mine

As we all are gathered here
To pay them our respect
Let's pass this word to others
It's what they would expect

I'm sure that they would do it
If it were me or you
To show we did not die in vein
But for the red, white and blue.

Let's pass on to our children
And to those who never knew
What these soldiers died for
It's the least we can do

Let's not forget their families
Great pain they had to bear
Losing a son, father or husband
They need to know we still care

No matter which war was fought
On the day that they died
I stand here looking at these flags
Filled with American pride.

So as the bugler plays out Taps
With its sweet and eerie sound
Pray for these soldiers lying here
In this sacred, hallowed ground.

Take home with you a sense of pride
You were here Memorial Day.
Celebrating the way Americans should
On this solemnest of days.

Memorial Day weekend

We headed down to San Diego this weekend to spend time with family we haven't seen in a little while. These are pictures I took at the park while the kids were burning off some energy.
