Two Bubble Gum Snow Cones Please!!

What a gorgeous weekend we had. Friday we traveled to Kendallville to hang out with the Baker family. The boys enjoyed their pool, trampoline, and swingset. We got home in the evening but decided not to go watch the Fort Wayne fireworks. I think that is officially the first time I haven't seen fireworks on the 4th and didn't really care. I must be getting old. ;) Although, the best fireworks show is at the end of July downtown for the Three Rivers Festival. We will definately be going to that.

Saturday was another great day and we did a little yard work in the back yard and grilled up some yummy steaks. The boys got to enjoy their first experience with the ice cream truck. I never saw him come to my house as a kid since I lived out in the country, but good greif, I think living in town, you can see "too much" of the ice cream truck. You can literally hear his loud "The More We Get Together" song blaring about 5 blocks away. :)

Yesterday we took the kids to the park. It was blazing hot. I was an idiot and wore jeans. That was a mistake. Oh well.

This Thursday we leave for Long Beach, California to see Nik's brother Nate. I have never been on the West Coast before. I am super excited. We are going to be gone until next Saturday. That's 10 days!! The most I have been away from my kids is about 3 days. This will be a hard time for all of us. Please pray for my mom because she will be watching them for most of the time while we are gone. We also have some friends from church who will be watching them and giving my parents a break. Pray for us too. It will be very hard to leave them.

Lastly, Hunter, my cousin Danielle's son, is in the hospital again. He has a fever of 105 degrees and they don't know why. They have done some tests and will find out more today. I went and saw him last night. Say a prayer for him please.
