art wind memorial day

it's hard to believe summer IS here

spring was in 100x fast forward for me with all the excitement of a baby

i am really depressed it's over cause that means my baby is old and the magic of it all is wearing off

but i guess i am just as excited to show brig the world as i was to welcome him into the world so it's ok

we stayed in town cause my 10'-11' cheerleaders had their debut performance at the art & wind festival

i don't know the origins of the festival but its every year over memorial day weekend and according to my cheerleaders 

-everyone they know was there-

but i think the "wind" part of the festival refers to the performance kite flying they had

my cheerleaders

(pics stolen from facebook cause i didn't have the foresight to tell nate to do some photoing)

really... what am i going to do when i don't have these girls in my life anymore?

what am i going to do with out cheerleading in my life?

i never think i like cheer as much as i do

but i guess i really do love it

this guy eases any moving pains though

 he goes where i go

best part of festivals?

the food.

we love food

after my cheerleaders performed and we fed ourselves and walked around a bit we sat down to watch some of the kite flying

this was my favorite kite

they looked like a flock of birds

yup...

i know...

okay... last one

after the festival we headed home and took a long afternoon family nap and made it to a 7 o'clock showing of letters to juliet. it was our first 7 pm showing and it may have stressed natey out a bit cause our baby was up instead of sleeping through the whole movie but baby boy did great. he only made one real cry which forced nate to put his head between his legs in embarrassment (haha) but me and my boy got things figured quickly enough.

all in all it was a nice memorial day and i thought it was super nice... until i made a phone call home.

then my day didn't seem nearly as nice as the day all the williams were having together. only robyn and me were missing. even after robyn told me "they're not having as much fun as they make it sound" i still felt like i was missing out. ah, the price we pay to live far away.

 why do we again?
