Ellie's Birthday and the 4th of July weekend!

This year 4th of July weekend was really busy. It started on July 1st when we went to Wamego's carnival. They had rides, games and food. We had fun walking around and the girls played games and went on the carousel. Then we went to Kansas City on July 2nd and shopped. Then we went to Adam's parent's house where we stayed for the weekend. On Sat. July 3rd it was Ellie's 3rd birthday. We actually went to my nephew Braden's birthday party that morning. My sister-in-law had a ton of fun activities for the kids to do. It was a really fun party. Then we went to the hospital to visit Adam's Dad who had a heart attack and had a quadruple bypass. Then that night we let Ellie choose where we went for dinner and she chose Burger King. They are so easy to please at this age! Then Sunday we went to Church and Adam's siblings and there families came over and spent the day and we celebrated Ellie's birthday with a cake and opened presents. She got a power-wheel, a Dora backpack, and a few other things. She had a really fun day and loved spending it with family. On Sunday the 4th we were going to go watch a firework show but we had a really bad thunderstorm and nobody in our area had fireworks. This was the first year I haven't seen fireworks! On Monday my sister-in-law Shannon, Holly and I went and saw the movie Eclipse which I loved! I love being so close to family and being able to spend time with them.
