Memorial Day Weekend

Such a busy weekend for the Stammen family. On Friday night Mya had a soccer game to make up and then another regularly scheduled game on Saturday...it was hot...she was tired...but her team ended a perfect season with no losses. Last season her team also had no losses, Mya now believes she is unbeatable - forever.

Saturday night we went to Mark and Marie Francis' house to hang out. I didn't take a lot of pictures, but it was cute when Mya tried to get Nora to hang out on the hammock with her. Mya could barely sit in it without falling over so we weren't sure it was a good idea, but Mya was careful and we got a good picture. It was nice to see some friends we haven't seen in a long time and to get the kids together. Nora tried to be a bully and attack Grant, but he easily defended himself.

On Sunday morning we headed to the lake to visit with Grandpa and Grandma Stammen, Uncle Brad, Aunt Val, Lauren, Maddie, Uncle Jason, Aunt Marcie, Emily, Kate, Abby, Tess, Sarah, and Sophia. Mya got to ride in the tube and Nora had her first boat ride. She thought it was really fun until she got hungry and tired and we had no bottle or pacifier on the boat (Mom was not very prepared) so she held out on cheerios until we got back to the house.

Nora and Sophia played great together except for when Nora felt like she had to touch Sophia's eyes, pull her hair or steal her toys. Because Sophia has five older sisters it didn't seem to affect her too much, but Nora is most certainly a bully. She wasn't too impressed with Sophia sitting by Dad either, a lot of screeching and growling occurred at that point. She needs to learn how to play nice!

Mya caught her very first fish this weekend (well she did last year but she was screaming and running around so much that it fell off the hook). This year she managed to pull it all the way up, she wouldn't touch it but she caught it.

We headed to the park for one of Nora's favorite activities as well...the swing. It's time to purchase one for home because she couldn't have been happier! It was such a hot, busy weekend, but a lot of fun....

 Nora may have had too much fun....
