Summer is here! Well maybe not the "official" date of summer, but it sure feels like it! AJ is done with school and is enjoying some time off by staying up late and sleeping in. :) It is extremely hot - at least down here in Omaha. And my little brother is officially graduated from high school!
Over the Memorial weekend, AJ and I traveled to Tipton to spend some time with our family there. It was really great to see them but we were a little disappointed that it wasn't quite warm enough to use the pool! :) But we had a great time hanging out with our parents - doing some shopping and cleaning out some cars. On Sunday we attended Mass in Solon in remembrance of the one year anniversary of the death of AJ's Grandpa. It was really great to have so much of the family together and the service was pretty eventful. A very loud storm came through involving pounding rain, high winds and even hail. So that was exciting. After church, we ran (literally, because it was still raining!) up the road to the Firemen's Breakfast - which they had moved indoors because of the storm and enjoyed some yummy pancakes! And we made a stop out at the graveyard to say hello to Grandpa as well.
While we were in Tipton we switched vehicles with AJ's dad so that we could haul some stuff up to Minnesota the following weekend. We learned quickly to enjoy our small and gas efficient cars versus the large truck! But we were grateful to be able to borrow it.
This past weekend we drove up to Minnesota for the weekend. We arrived on Friday night and were woken up early on Saturday to help get the house ready for Dan's graduation party. It started out by setting up a tent - which actually wasn't too bad. What was bad were all the gnats. They were no fun. But we got the tent sent up and some of those bug repellent candles and torches set up and it was much better! We had the party from about 11am to 2pm and it was a lot of fun. We had a lot of people stop by and it was really fun to see so many family and friends. Dan even did a great job playing host for the day. :) The food and the cake were of course great and the root beer keg was a hit! We also had some fun playing with our cousin's seven month old son and another family friend's daughter. AJ especially had a lot of fun and made some new friends. After the party we cleaned up the house and even took a little nap - or at least I did. :) That night we just relaxed by a bonfire and reminisced about old stories.

So it was a very eventful weekend but a lot of fun! Hopefully this weekend will be spent with just AJ and I enjoying some relaxing time together.
