Memorial Day Weekend Celebrations

Our Memorial Day weekend was filled with fun and of course time with family! Our cousin Kayla's graduation luau kicked our weekend off on Saturday, followed by a get together at Aunt Lois's house on Sunday...

Check out the shnazzy decorations, done by who else but (cousin) Danielle, Decorator Extraodinaire...

Hanging with the ladies...AJ with Aunt Toya, Aunt Erika and Mamaw

...and with cousin Paris

...and with cousin Naima and Great-Aunt Mel

...and with cousin Malik, Uncle Conrey, cousins Paris and Noah

Erika and Naima

Noah & Naima are getting so big! They are sooo much fun...while Noah was busy playing volley ball (after several attempts to get the net up, we finally succeeded and he came in the house to make the grand annoucement, yelling "THE NET IS UP! THE NET IS UP! THE NET IS UP!!!) Naima was having fun with baby AJ...she was so facinated by everything from his little toes to making sure flying bugs were staying away from him...she'd make a GREAT big sister (*clears throat*...I'm just saying Keith and Erika... ;) )

Who says you can't play a little backyard volleyball while wearing your Sunday's best?!?...you GO Aunt Mel!!!

This was the cute hand-knitted gift from two of my scrapping buddies, Marie and Jean...thanks ladies...we had to get pics in these before he out grew them!...LOL!

And of course we had to also get a pic of AJ in this hand-knitted beauty made by his great-aunt Delores...how adorable!...Super-baby to the rescue...

AJ's First Day at Daycare...my Aunt Janice is the owner/childcare provider

Aunt Janice and AJ on his first day :)

It was hard to leave our baby boy, but a blessing to have him in great care with my Aunt :)

AJ's Week 10...Mother's Day Edition

I could not have asked for a better first Mother's Day...it was absolutely beautiful that day and I spent it not only with my two honeys but also with other family members...we spent time over Grandma Harris's (and regretfully forgot our camera at home) as well as celebrated my stepsister, Fallon's great accomplishment of graduating from Law School...

Congrats Fal!!! Ms. Debbie (my Stepmom), Fallon (Stepsister), my Dad

Uncle Roland gave a beautiful tribute to Fallon

Fallon gave a moving opening and closing argument (in true lawyer style) giving thanks to loved ones that paved the way for her
