Fourth of July Weekend

    Mike had a three day weekend so we thought we would go home to Port Orange for the Holiday. What didn't occur to us until we got there was the races were going on. I mean really we grew up there how could we not remember? Anyway we kept out distance from Daytona for that reason. On the fourth we just hung out with my mom and had a cookout with my sister Adrian. The picture here is the only one I could get of Bella's face and her cousin Jayce .  Towards the end of the day (Mike had been gone golfing most of the day) we had dinner and ended up staying in for the evening. Bella wanted to go to the beach but we just didn't want to fight the crowds. We are terrible parents aren't we? Well Grandma Pru put her to bed and the neighborhood was just getting started with their own fireworks. They were setting them off until after midnight and Pru said Bella kept asking her to stop the fireworks. 

    On Saturday we took everyone to Ikea in Orlando to check out a new entertainment center. Since we got rid of the mamba jamba TV we needed something to suit our smaller one better.  Mike and I just love IKEA and we also got to meet Tommy, Danielle, and Savannah there. We haven't gotten to see them since graduation and we  walked the entire store and just plain exhausted ourselves. But Mike got a new EC for his birthday and we definitely got some exercise in. We had forgotten how big IKEA is! Next we headed to check out Tommy and Danielle's new house and are so jealous because he is so close to work that he can ride his bike. Plus Savannah kept saying that Bella couldn't go bye-bye because she wanted her to stay there. Bella misses her "nannah" so much. There are so cute together . Unfortunately I was so tired from IKEA that I forgot to take pics of the girls and I am so mad at myself:(
