What's Up With the David's: Super-Sized Memorial Day Weekend!

We decided to take a break from cleaning, shopping and preparing for the baby and just let the boys have a super-duper, fun-filled Memorial Day Weekend! And boy did we deliver! We managed to fill every minute of their day with activities and by Monday night they were spent...and so were we! But it was worth it. In three days we celebrated a graduation, enjoyed 2 BBQ's with family and friends, had a s'mores bonfire with cousins, went to the pool twice, had dinner with friends, and oh yah, Christian also squeezed in a 13.1 mile half marathon. Whew! I'll spare you my usual detailed blog and just post some of the fun pics (bummed that I didn't get any of the yummy marshmallow roast)...

The biggest news of the weekend was my sister Melanie's graduation from Cal State Fullerton. This is a major accomplishment and we are so proud of her! CSUF is Jen's and my Alma Mater so we're double proud. Way to go Mel!!

We didn't attend the actual ceremony but joined the family lunch celebration afterwards. I left Gav at home with Christian so it was a date for me and my boy Jack. Here we are with all my sisters and Jen's girls...

The studs Christian and Obed at the finish line right after their half-marathon in Laguna Hills! This was the first 13.1 mile run for both of them and they both killed it in under 2 hours, putting them in the top 30% of runners. I am so amazingly proud of my husband...

Thankfully, mom and Joey were there to help me handle the rug-rats while we waited for daddy to finish the race. The boys were so excited to see their daddy in the race....

The big finish! Christian really kicked it into high gear at the end and finished strong. Jack and I were screaming so loud!

It's over! He's so tired but still manages to have daddy-duty...

Jack wanted to wear his track suit so he looked like a runner just like his dad. But he wouldn't go near Chris because he was "sweaty and smelly!"

Gavin didn't seem to mind the sweat...

The Fab Five! These are Jack's friends from school and they have all been best buds for almost 2 years now. One of the families invited us all over for a BBQ and we had a great time! We always have fun when we are together....the kids and the parents too!

The boys enjoying a little Popsicle after and awesome lunch. It really is so adorable to get the boys together. They love being with each other and for the most part they get along really well. They are all big kids with tons of energy so it's a great fit. I hope they remain friends for a long time...

Gavin joined in on the action...

Man, did they make a mess of the house!

The parents! I really enjoy spending time with this group of people. Everyone is so nice and funny and we genuinely enjoy each others company. That is so rare to find. We're like a support group for families of all boys. There are no little girls in the group....yet!

Jack was beyond exhausted after the party...

But Gav wouldn't leave him alone. Little brothers can be so annoying!

Memorial Day at the pool! We had a super fun BBQ with family and friends. Jack loves hanging out with Kendall because she's the cool older kid...

Ella and Everett joined us for a swim...

Me and my girls "lounging" by the pool! If only we could relax like that - haha! I agreed to a strategically shot photo of my preggo belly...no thighs allowed!
