Off to St. Louis and New Hampshire!

Today I am leaving to meet my cousins, Christy, Emily and Ethan in St. Louis. Ethan is in a baseball tournament there. I am flying there for a couple of days and then we will be driving back to their house in New Hampshire (20 hours, Yuck!). It will be a long drive but I will be with them so it will be fun. We are used to seeing them about 5 or 6 times a year, but since they moved across the country it has gone down. I haven't seen Em or E since Christmas. I am so excited to see everybody. After a few days in New Hampshire, I am bringing them all back with me to stay for a few weeks. YEAH!!
On a sadder note, I am going to be gone for one week which means I won't see Trev or TT for that long. I think this will be the longest I have gone. I know, kind of weird. I had Trevor spend the night with me last night so I could get my last fix before he has to go to school today. After I drop him off, I am going to go and get my TT fix.
Since Jeana and Kim are not going with me, I will take lots of pictures to post when I get home.

Happy 4th of July!

I hope all of you had a great 4th of July. I did! It started in the morning with my friend Kaycee's annual pancake breakfast. She started this tradition about five years ago and it is so nice. She cooks breakfast for about 50 people who come and go throughout the morning. For those of you who have never met my friend Kaycee, believe it or not, she loves this kind of stuff. She is an entertainer and a great one at that. Kim and Jeana and the kids came over as well. They thought it would be fun for the kids to do something different and have a new set of toys to play with. As you can see, they also had fun. The only problem was that it was sooo hot. Every single person was dripping sweat because of the humidity.

After we ate breakfast and had mimosas, of course, we left and went over to Kim and Dons. They had a few people over for a bbq. Don cooked some excellent hamburgers and we enjoyed great food and even better company. I didn't take any pictures of Kim's because everybody else did so I am sure you will see those pictures on other blogs. Later in the night, me, my mom, dad, Kim, Don, Marilyn and the kids drove to Vet Stadium and hung out in the back of the truck to watch the firework show. It was fun watching the reactions on Trevor and TT face.

4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays and this year was no exception.
