Happy Memorial Day

First of all I would like to say thank you to all the men and women who have fought or are fighting for our freedom each and everyday.  Thank you to the families of the fallen heroes that once shared their loved ones lives so that our country could be free.  Too often we take for granted that we can worship a mighty God freely and choose how and where we worship.  (Other countries just aren't that nice) We are so truly blessed to live in a country such as the United States yet each day we can find something to complain about.  Stop this Memorial Day and thank a service man or woman for your freedom!  They truly deserve it!!

On a lighter note...I love sharing little stories that Landon creates.  He is truly a mess.  So let me give you a little background on this story.  We as a family have decided to make Covenant our home church after going to Potter's Wheel for some time.  We decided that the drive to Potter's Wheel would be a little much once Luke came into this world.  For the longest time Landon would say that he wanted to go to Potters Wheel every morning on the way to Covenant and Bobby would explain every time why we chose to go to another church.  After about two months he gave up on trying to get us back to Potter's Wheel and I haven't thought anymore of it.  Well Mrs. Shirley was talking to Landon and asked him did he know what Memorial Day was for.  He replied, "No" so she explained that Memorial Day was to honor our fallen servicemen that had fought for our freedom.  Landon replied what is freedom?  Mrs. Shirley explained that freedom is when we have a choice and are free to do something.  She gave him the example that we were free to choose what church we wanted to go to and Landon quickly stopped her.  He said, "That's not right Grandma because Daddy want let me go to Potter's Wheel!!!"  It is amazing how quick a four year old catches on to things!!!

Since we all had Monday off for Memorial Day Grandma and Grandaddy decided to have a cookout.  You can't have a cookout without hamburger, hot dogs, watermelon, and some pool action.  So we had them all!!!  

Landon and Grandaddy making sure that they get their moneys worth out of their Watermelon
