Another Sunday outting!

After church we went to Pekin to eat here, one of the kids favorite places to eat: Then went to the show. This is now an AMC theatre, they just haven't changed the signs yet
Bella with her own popcorn. Each of the kids got their own drink and popcorn since they had a coupon to get 1.00 each on the drinks and popcorn and you could make that any size you wanted!

This is Ellie before church. She was looking for Snowball!

and I took a video of her too!

Another week in the Prather house!

Monday- i hate to say it but I had to take Ellie to the Dr. again!! I started taking her to the chiropractor so we could see if we can stop the ear infections before the start!! She was sooooo fussy all night long.

Tuesday- walked down to the library and back then we just hung out at home!

Wednesday- Mike was off today, he worked on stuff around the house with me and it was nice that we didn't have to run out of town or anything.

Thursday- I had to mow the yard since Zack was gone to camp. Mary came over with two of her kids so we could put together some no-sew fleece blankets for her girls.

Friday- Moriah's birthday. We went to McDonalds for lunch and met up with some of Moriah's friends from school. Then we went out to Ingersoll camp to see Zack and have dinner with him at Family night.

He wanted to hold Ellie when he saw her!! So sweet how he missed her!

here is Zack on the bridge they had to cross to get to the camp sitethis is where Zack took his cooking classes for a badgeThis is were Troop 1102 slept. all their tents in a neat row. They also had to make the stick entrance to their camping area.

Saturday- Taking it easy around the house, picking up and doing laundry. Zack got home around 11:30 so we have to dry out the tent for Scouts and get all of his smelly stinky dirty laundry done. (do you think it just might stink? well, it really does!!!)

Sunday- We have a one day trip planned for the family and we are going to call it a destination unknown. My mom and dad did that for us when we were kids and we are going to make some of those memories for our now too. I am so excited I can't wait to go!!!

July is here!

so, here we go again.

Moday- went and took Ellie back to Dr. because she has an ear infection in the other ear now! Then Zack has scouts and Isaiah has his last ball game. Donna and Craig came down to see the last one. He did awesome again and can't wait til ball next summer now!!!

Tuesday- Storytime at the library with the girls, but since Mike took the van in for an oil change we had to ride our bikes downtown.

Wednesday- Mikes day off, so we went to Bloomington to catch a free movie and met mike's Mom there. We ran a few errands then came back to town so Mike could go into work and we could eat lunch at home.

Thursday- Worked on packing for the Cub Scout camping on Friday and Saturday.

Friday- baked 72 cupcakes for the girls swim party on Saturday and then Kallie came and did the icing on them. They turned out cute. then packed the van and headed to Weldon Springs in Clinton for camping. Mike came and met up with us out there so I could come home with ellie since she hasen't been sleeping good with the ears hurting! :(

Saturday- got up and headed back out the the campgrounds to be with the kids while Mike headed back to Lincoln to go to work! (crazy I know, but it was the only way we could get everything to work out!!) We left the camp at 2:30 so we could head back home and get ready to go to the Rec for the girls party. they had a BLAST!! The water was nice and I think everyone had a good time.

Sunday- Mike, Bella, and Moriah went to church while Isaiah, Ellia, and I took Zack to met up with the Boy Scouts to head out to Ingersol for the week. We had to get a few last minute things at Wal-Mart then we headed up to the bus to drop him off and tell him to have fun. After we saw him off we went to church to get with the others for the Church potluck. Now we are home and resting before heading off to the show with the kids for a surprise! Tonight we have to go to bed early I am tired!!!!
