Such a fun Labor Day Weekend

We had such a fun Labor Day weekend visiting my family. I was looking forward to it so much, because I had not been home since March. It was definitely a well overdue visit and it turned out to be such a wonderful weekend. Being around the people that love you the most is such a blessing and the best feeling in the entire world!! I have the best family and Walker is truly LOVED and SPOILED rotten when we visit Moppy and Papa's house:) The weekend was also extra special because I also got to spend the entire day with my precious nephew, Logan and my brother and sister in law. Sorry for the picture overload, but I had so many to choose from and I didn't want to leave anything out.

These two had so much fun together. Logan gets to hang out on the tractors everyday, so he didn't quite understand why Walker was so excited to be in the BIG tractor. How cute does Walker look waving from the tractor? He always gets the biggest thrill out of standing on or in the tractors. Walker got to see Uncle Ben's excavator, BIG dump truck and bulldozer.

Walker loves his Aunt Mandy so much! The best Aunt Mandy he will ever have:) I absolutely adore this picture! Thanks for spending the entire day with us Aunt Mandy. We love you so much!!

Aunt Mandy, Walker and Uncle Ben posing in the pasture (the shadow is a bummer). We don't always get to see them as much as we would like. Uncle Ben has an obsession with working:) Although, Uncle Ben does have some really cool toys that Walker will always enjoy playing on. We love you Uncle Ben and look forward to seeing you again soon.

While we were visiting all of the tractors we decided to go look for Papa in the pasture and watch him cut hay. Walker loved helping Aunt Mandy drive her SUV through the pasture to look for Papa. Once we found Papa he had fun watching him and waving to him:)

Papa in the tractor cutting the hay. I wish Walker could see them actually bale the hay. I think he would be amazed with the big round bale. Maybe one day in the future Walker will have a chance to ride in the AC tractor with Papa.

The boys had such a great time playing on the swing set and chasing each other around. I wish they could spend more time together.

Here they are wrestling around in the grass after dinner. Looks like Walker is trying to choke Logan:) Just a little cousin love:)

On Sunday we went over to visit my dear friend Diana, Mason and Anna Claire. Mason and Walker always have such a good time together. It always takes the boys a few minutes to figure each other out, but once they do they have fun. It's always such a treat to see Diana. She has been one of my dearest friends since elementary school. I could not ask for a better best friend all these many years and it's so fun to watch the boys play together.

The boys hugging each other. Diana and I were laughing because they look so awkward:) They are the two cutest blonde hair, blue eyed little boys I know:):)

Not sure what they are looking for, but man they are soooo stinkin' cute!! Thank you Diana for inviting us over for a little pool time. Now, it's time for your well overdue visit to our house!!

As soon as Walker and I got back this afternoon we headed over to our 2nd families house for a cookout. We always have such a great time visiting with such great friends who treat us just like family. We are truly so blessed to have you all in our life!!

McKenzie and Patrick attempting to back flip off of the diving board. Walker thought it was so funny. He loved the big splash the "wanna be flippers" would make when they hit the water:)

We had a fabulous Labor Day weekend and we hope you did too! I am so thankful for such wonderful family and friends!!
