The Kitchen Family

refreshing weekend
{Memorial Day}

 I use the phrase "it was well needed" often these days, especially when I'm referring to a break from our normal mundane activities... but when I say this holiday weekend was "well needed" I mean it. It was the first time this semester that Brock did not have test on Monday {which meant he didn't have to study all weekend}. Also, the first time after his test on Friday that he didn't have lecture afterwards. So he was a FREE man the whole weekend. BEAUTIFUL! Even though I was feeling under the weather due to a nasty sinus/bacterial infection, we took advantage of the break and played hard.

We were able to go to the Dallas Temple while the Garza's watched our boys and had lunch at their house afterwards.

We had a water fight out back with the hose.

Many games of Hide and Seek.

Built tents in Cohen's room.

Played Yahtzee and made strawberry shakes.

Went shopping as a FAMILY.

Went to Colleyville splash pad at McPherson Park. {pics coming}

Swam at Andy and Beka's.

Brock gave me a Priesthood blessing to help my sick body, and that is always a wonderful experience and gift from God.

 The boys and I were at Brock's side for the weekend. Co & Brend wanted to be literally touching Daddy the whole time. Whenever Brock was near Brendon he was crawl extra fast to try to get to him first.

 We love holiday weekends!

And one week from now Brock will be done with his first year of med school. 
Six weeks off! We can't wait.
