What do you do when it's 100 Degrees out??

I have not posted in awhile, due to a busy schedule :( I usually sit down to blog once the boys are down for nap/bedtime. But, recently we have been pretty busy with nothing to important haha. I tell myself each week, "ok, this week I am going to hang around home and get things done".....ya then I get a txt from my mom...or sister..or a friend...So I tell my self, "sure just this once" and I end up saying that at least 5 times a week. So anyways, we have had 95* weather here with the heat index in the 100's!! That's HOTTT! My mom planned a fun Beach day on Wednesday. It was so much fun and awesome that most of my sisters were able to come because they had the day off! So my Grandma joined and then some of my younger siblings! We headed over to Kirk Park on Lake Michigan. I had never been there before, but really enjoyed it...it was kind of secluded (which we like) and I think we will hit that park again this summer...maybe even tonight! (rabbit trail) I am so blessed to have a Husband who strives to guard his heart and his eyes for me :) He requests not to go to the popular beaches, due to how the women walk around in less then they would wear in a locker room...I think it's awesome (his decision), so I try my best to honor his wish...even though it can be hard when "everyone else is going there" and we find something else to do. But the more I think about his "leadership" in that area, the more it makes me smile. Especially with two little boys..soon to be young men (if I blink), just knowing that their Daddy is such a wonderful example to exemplify. What a blessing! Anyways...I just had to Boast in what the Lord has given me!! So ya, my mom put this whole beach day together Wednesday! It was a blast! The water was a tad frigid, so we all sat out and soaked up the sun!! Maybe a little too much sun though! My friend Laura, gave me an idea to bring a Pac n Play to the beach...It was awesome!! I was able to lay the boys in there for their naps!! It worked perfect! After the beach we headed back to my parents house, then took a dip in their neighbors pool!! It felt sososo nice! Today to beat the heat, I went shopping with my sisters :) Good times! Again, to Boast in what the Lord has given me...I love my sisters! I can't imagine what life would be like without them..I know I say this often, but it's so true. We are each so much apart of each others life, even though a few are miiiillleeesss away (Sarah and Beth). So here are the photos I snapped this week!! Enjoy! Oh and again, they are from my phone camera, so bare with me on the quality :)
