Birthdays, boat rides and no sleep for the hubby.

Nothing is better than summer time, especially the month of July. It goes by so fast, but there are so many fun events going on. It starts with the 4th of July and just keeps going right on through.

The 4th of July weekend was fun. On the 4th we went to the Shakopee Raceway. It was an interesting experience. It was extremely packed with people and it was definitely Nascar kind of crowd. At least there was a nice fireworks display. We went up north the next day and had half and half weather. The first day we got there it was nice but super humid and a million mosquitos. The second day was pouring rain and a billion mosquitos. I think between Sadie and I we could have made a nice little donation from all the blood they sucked from us!

On Tuesday, my husband went in for his overnight sleep study. He has had this problem for as long as I have known him, so he finally went in for a consultation and got the process going to find out what could be wrong. I really think that he is narcoleptic. He can literally fall asleep anywhere doing anything. Not only has it been extremely frustrating to me, but it's horrifically dangerous. Most recently, he has fallen asleep behind the wheel at a red light with Sadie and I in the car; so that was kind of the last straw. We will find out in the next couple of weeks what the results are.

Wednesday night we took Sadie out for a preliminary birthday fun night. We went out to Como Lake and had a little picnic then went out on the paddle boats. It was a beautiful night and we had a really fun time.

Thursday was the big day. My little lady turned the big 4! We took her to Chuck E. Cheese and had a little party for her. We had never taken her there before, so she just had a ball! For those of you who know me well, you know that we never have taken her there before for a reason. That place is germaphobe's worst nightmare; but I got through it!  ;)

This is a little survey I found on Pinterest that I asked Sadie to do. It was pretty fun to see what answers she came up with...
