An awesome weekend!

I decided last week to go home this past weekend and surprise my son! So Friday night after work I loaded up the baby's stuff and the dog cage and dog and everything and headed 4 hrs up north to my parents house. My mom had surgery 2 weeks ago and is recuperating laying on her stomach on this special pillow that juts out from the bed. Anyways she is to be on her stomach 20 hours a day which I give her credit because I sure couldnt do it!

Got up there Friday night...Omg was Dustin surprised and happy to see his mama! I love my peanut and I wish he could be in Indy with me but he is doing so well up there in Northern Indiana with his dad that for now I am going to leave things as is. He is active in 4-h and basketball and soccer and football for his school and hes getting more active in being part of my mom and dads church. He also gets to spend 2 weekends a month and half the summer with my parents and when I get a chance I get up there as well.

Saturday morning when we all got up (correction: Matty woke everyone up at 645 am...uggh doesnt that kid realize its Saturday any other day during the week I have to pull him out of bed so he can go to the sitter but sure as heck not Saturdays!) anyways him and my sister went and got donuts at my favorite bakery in town-- West End bakery that has always been a Saturday morning tradition in our family for as long as I can remember and they have something I havent been able to find anywhere else or at least not as good as those. I love the sour cream cake donuts and West End makes the best! There are so many times I get homesick for those or just a donut from the West End and here in Indy I havent found any mom and pop bakeries like the West End. I belong to a group on Facebook thats called You know you are from the Michiana area when...and well my response is you get to go to West End Bakery for donuts on Saturday morning!

Of course as usual it rained the whole weekend I was up there, for some reason everytime I go up there it either rains or snows it figures. I hate the weather up there thats why I live in Indy ..lol

Took Matty to get his new glasses but thats a whole nother post in itself. Afterwards I took the kids to GameStop and they found Star Wars Legofor 19.99!! Omg! My kids were so excited and lets just say that game has more than paid for itself already.

Then Kelly and I took Dustin to get his cleats for baseball and to price his pants and a new bat, I love it when we can take the kids one by one and give them some individual time it is so cool.

Since the divorce, spending time with my parents and friends in Northern Indiana has become such a vital part of my life, I make the effort like 1-2 times a month to come up and see everyone, I am so glad that God showed me how important, more important that family is.
