Gene and Jude's & Family

Mike has been telling the kids about Gene and Jude's hot dogs for years so the first thing we had to do was go to Gene and Jude's for hot dogs.

Really Michael?

His double dog was delicious!

Bobby (Mike's nephew) and his girlfriend wanted to take the kids bowling for their birthday. The kids LOVE bowling! Thank you so much Toni and Bobby for taking the kids and helping them out. You two will make the best parents to baby Sophia!

Michael and Nick

I have to post 3 pictures so that I can get a picture with everyones smile. 

When we went home Bobby ordered Chicago pizza! So delicious. The kids played in the backyard and I tried not to fall over from lack of sleep. Jaileigh and Annie took my camera around and got some great shots! The following are all from them.
