Jacob's Birthday

Well our little man turned 8 years old on July 24th. We had a cookout with some family and friends and it turned out to be one of the biggest and nicest cookouts we ever had. So....we decided to have an annual cookout every year around the same time so we can celebrate Jacob's birthday and invite family and friends over to spend some quality time with that we don't get to see too often. It's so sad that we don't make time for the ones we love due to work and every day life in general. I swear at one point I think I had like 20 kids in my house - at least it seemed that way. We had a beautiful/sunny day and everyone really seemed to have had a good time.

Summer Time Fun

The kids are out of school and summer is just trucking along. Lil' Georgie has been watching Jacob and Gracie during the summer for some extra cash and plus it's a great help to me and George (my hubby). He has taken them bowling a few times, but they seem to be very occupied with their neighborhood friends these days. No complaints from me. I am so use to getting home from work and having Gracie standing there waiting on me with a big hug and kiss and now I am lucky if she waves to me while she is across the street at her friends house. I took the kids to Hershey Park a few weeks ago - my nephew James came down for a two-week visit so we thought it would be nice to take the kids to HP - they had a blast and it was James/Gracies first time on a rollercoaster (well...a big one) and they did great - it was quite entertaining - we all have a wonderful time.
