The Wittman's have finally moved back!!!!!

Last Sunday, July 26, we headed over to my friend Rebekah's house for a triple birthday party.

She and her family have recently moved back to Southern Indiana after living in Indy, Chicago and Louisville. I am so excited to have her back!!! This picture is Landon Wells, he's my friend Leisa's son. Landon is the oldest between him, Jacob (my son) and Isaac (Rebekah's son). Leisa and I have been friends since 6th grade and Rebekah and I (we're cousins too) have been friends since elementary school. We had the three boys within a few months of each other!


We celebrated Rachel's first birthday (that's her in the high chair), Isaac's 4th birthday and our other cousin Kamren's 8th birthday.


Isaac got a 4 wheeler for his birthday!

Jacob loving the home made ice cream!

This is Miss Lexi Wells, Leisa's little girl. She turned 2 in July and is the cutest little girl I've ever seen!

Jordan riding Isaac's 4 wheeler and the other 3 are chasing him! My boys loved riding/driving it. One day we will have one, oh yes we will!!!

Kamren giving Jacob a ride!

Jacob and Isaac (I wish Landon could have been in the pic too but he had already left)! We had an awesome evening swimming, eating and spending time with friends. I am so thankful for the friendships I have had since before elementary school and beyond with Laurie, Rebekah and Leisa~those don't come around very often!

Old Friends, New Friends and Beautiful Weather

Friday, both of the boys went their separate ways for the weekend. Jordan went camping with my in-laws and it was Jacob's turn to spend the weekend with my parents. This meant that Brad and I were kid less all weekend!

Friday night we went out to dinner with some friends from church, Nikki and Vince. We ate at the Tin Fish on Marina Point overlooking the Ohio River. It was a beautiful night, actually chilly for July. Afterwards we met some more friends, Stacey and Bobby and went bowling. We had an awesome evening and Brad and I are so thankful for the new relationships we've made in the last three years.

Saturday, Brad had to work some overtime (thank God) and I headed to my friend Rebekah's (since elem. school) house to meet her and another friend, Leisa (since middle school) to put up sweet corn for winter. Rebekah's parents own a farm in Spencer County and grow sweet corn. We picked it, shucked it, washed it, boiled it and scrapped it off the cob. We started at 10:00 and ended around 5:30! It was a lot of work but we had a blast just hanging out in the kitchen and talking. I am so glad Rebekah and her family has moved back home!

So to right now, Monday evening. Again, we woke up to another beautiful day. Thank you Lord for this weather. I asked the kids what they wanted to do today and they said, "Meet Mamaw Knight for lunch at Roca Bar and eat outside". So we met my mom, sister and nephew at Roca Bar for lunch and then headed to Fortress of Fun to play. The kids had so much fun playing at the park and the highlight was the ice cream man coming and the kids got to buy ice cream! We headed home and the kids are now outside playing none other than............. BASEBALL with their daddy in the back yard.

My house is a mess, my eyebrows need to be waxed, my hair needs to be cut and I have TONS of laundry to do but spending time with my kids is WAY more important than all of that!!!! We have had an awesome day and better than that, we are ending it with some Tastee Freeze Ice Cream!!!!! Life is good!

Warrick County 4H Fair

Tonight we went with some friends of ours, the Beard's and the Brown's to the Warrick County 4H Fair. It has been five years or more since we have gone. We started out at the horse barn and the kids would have stayed there all night if we would have let them!
Jacob and Kendall peeking at the horses!

Jacob wasn't afraid, he tried to feed some of them.

Jordan liked the goats!

So did Jake! We had a good time but it will probably be another five years before we go again. Between the stickiness of the heat and the kids wanting everything, five years will be just fine!
