It's July Already???

Well, this summer is flying by already...We are keeping busy & having a lot of FUN!!!

We had a great 4th of July weekend...Friday night we went to a party for our Pastor's wife at church...but my 2 older kids spent the night at their Grammy's house so Dan & I were out like a young couple with their one little baby to take care of...(Everyone said we didn't look right with just one kid - They were so used to seeing us with all three!)

Saturday we had a relaxing morning and then spent the latter part of the day at Dan's brother's house for a picnic - Let me tell you - It was so nice to just hang out & have someone else be the hostess (Mary, you did an awesome job! Loved the shrimp & pasta dish - YUM!!) (Oh, Sorry Jack, you did a wonderful job at the grill, as usual!) After we ate, the kids then proceeded to Slip N Slide the night away in the back yard - Who knew you could have so much fun for $6!!

Sunday was church as usual & then my brother John surprised the kids with a huge inflatable pool for their end of the school year gift! He even came over while we were at church to set everything up & surprise the kids! What a great uncle! (But we all know that it was just a ploy & you really were just trying to work on your tan!) We had burgers & hot dogs for lunch & then I even got to take a nap!! How cool!

Monday we had another relaxing morning & then we got invited to our friends' house for a picnic and we had the BEST time!! It was a beautiful day weather-wise & they even bought a little kiddie pool for the kids to splash around in - (Our friends are expecting their 1st child in the beginning of August - I don't know where she got all of her energy - But it was a great picnic!)

*****SIDEBAR - Jake slept through the night last night!!! For 10 hours straight!!********

Today our fun continued since my mom has off work this week! She and my aunt Gina took us to the beach for fun, food, rides and games on the boardwalk ~ And for an educational aspect, we went to the Aquarium on the boardwalk, too! The kids had a blast! They LOVED it!!

Well, I think I have been having so much fun (& a little too much coffee) because I can't sleep tonight! At least I am getting the chance to update my blog! :) Goodnight!
