Happy 4th of July!

We had a lovely fourth of July. It is my Mom's birthday today, but we celebrated on the 4th this year because she is going to Chicago. We had SO much food. I need to try and do better at resisting temptation to eat all day long when there are sweets in front of me. I talked to Kelly quick yesterday and she asked what we were doing on the fourth, I told her going to Mom's, and she said oh she always has such good food! Yep, my point exactly! Oh dear. Well I am going to have to take a walk with the kids and dog this morning before I get ready to party. We are going to Ben's cousins wedding reception (they were married in Florida last week). So, we're going to be seeing a lot of Ben's family, which is a lot of fun, and meeting some of my FIL's brother's who I haven't seen since our wedding. We are also going to spend some time with Michael and Elizabeth because they move this coming week and we wanted to have dinner together. It is going to be a really sad goodbye. We may actually see them in September though because we are going to Pennsylvania then. Anyhow, we are saying goodbye to another pastor tomorrow, which is going to be hard again. So, there is a big dinner after church for the pastor and his family. Anyhow, just a quick update, gotta get the kids breakfast going now...
Have a blessed weekend!

Boating and fishing...

Yep we are super busy people, but not busy enough to not have fishing and boating! My husband and his Dad just bought a boat together and we have been trying to make as much use of it as we can. We had a wonderful family day on Friday just out on the lake fishing. So much fun! Yesterday we got to go to the zoo with two families who are close friends of ours. It rained at first, but turned out to be gorgeous! Praise God for a lovely weekend!
