Wednesday evening I let the kids take a late nap so they could stay up late that night to watch the firework show at midnight.
It was pretty weird watching the fireworks since it wasn't dark out. We did have some thick cloud cover which really helped block out our midnight sun. The kids were more interested in playing at the little playground we were parked by.
We celebrated Independence day by just hanging out and enjoying daddy being home from work. 
It was a pretty rainy day so we made plans to watch a movie with the kids. Our favorite movie theater to visit is in Anchorage. It is older and not as fancy as the new ones so it isn't ever crowded. Plus, at $3.75 a movie ticket you can't beat that and a big added bonus: Lexie is FREE! That leaves plenty of money for popcorn, soda (caffeine free), & nachos. We watched The Croods. It was a very cute movie and very funny. 
Friday night Andrew & I were able to slip away for a nice dinner together at Eagle River Ale House. It was sooo nice! We sat for a long time enjoyed our meal and just talked, just us!
Saturday evening Andrew had an overnight trip to Dillingham. He didn't have to be at the airport till 4 so we did some fun things in Anchorage. We took the kids to bouncing bears and had a blast. Mommy even played in some of the inflatables with the kids. After all, the sign said "kids only except parents of toddlers!"
We have allot of little things happen this past week that I don't want to forget.
* Lance was able to climb up the rope at gymnastics some. He is still a ways from getting to the top but he is getting stronger each week and able to climb a little farther. I was a very proud momma watching him. 
* we have had a bear in our backyard! It laid down rite under our deck and left some "droppings" as proof of his visit. A few of the neighbors have seen him too.
* tickets to Minneapolis have been bought for September. ($20 using my airline miles) I am going to Pampered Chef's leadership training. I am super excited! Momma with no kids at Mall of America! It's gonna be awesome!
* only 8 more days till the kids & I leave for Missouri
* a little over a month till Aunt Sarah comes to visit us in Alaska
* Andrew and I booked our anniversary weekend getaway. This mite not sound awesome to too many women but we are going on a halibut charter! Andrew & I both LOVE to fish so this is perfect for us. We aren't ones to get all dressed up and go to a fancy place, but we are huge outdoorsmen (woman, in my case). We have a baby sitter booked and a cabin rented for the night. I can't wait!
This is our life. God has blessed me with a wonderful hardworking man who is so loving! I love our life. Things aren't always perfect but we got each other and we always have fun together.
God is good, All the time!
