3rd & 4th of July

We have had so much fun and lots going on these past few days. On the 3rd we headed to the Cubs game with our good friends Heather & Stephen(those pictures are on the other computer..opps) We had a GREAT time and really enjoyed the beautiful game. However, I must apologize to all of the Cubs fans out there....every game that we have attended they have gotten skunked! The first game it was 15-2, second game was 11-1 and this time it was 12-0. I did ask Nathan why he wanted us to be Cubs fans on the way home. He reminded me there was no other choice! :) After the game we came home and enjoyed dinner with my mom.
 Saturday we were up early running errands while Nathan went to work. We went to Hadleighs 1st Birthday in the afternoon and loved every second of that! Lots of fun and so stinkin cute. After the party we ran home, took a 20min. power nap and headed to the Klopps for the fireworks. We had a wonderful time! Great friends, good food, margaritas & beer, home run derby, a bonfire and fireworks...doesnt get much better than that! Here are a few pictures from the night.

On the 4th we went to church in the morning and heard a great sermon on God and USA. The best part was when Greg explained the real story behind God Bless America and the entire church sang it as a prayer together...very touching. 

 After church we went for a run(too hot to do that but the trip is only 9 days away!) and then Nathans parents came up and we enjoyed a delicious lunch and homemade ice cream! We were so thankful they made the trip up and loved having them there. We all found a little time to take nap too!

After naps, Mike and Bridgette came over and we had a really fun evening of bags, a steak dinner and a few margaritas! 

 

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th!!! God Bless America!
