Bakersfield

The boys and I are now in Bakersfield! It is about 3 hours away from my parents. We are staying with Darrick's brother Charlie, his wife Maud and are adorable niece, Amelie. Here is what we have been up to.

Wednesday: Charlie drove down from Bakersfield and him and I went to the funeral for Darrick and Charlie's cousin. His name was Cody and he was 20 years old. He committed suicide and the service was really sad. There were so many people there. I wonder if he knew how many people cared about him. After the service we went a lunch at Cody's brothers house. It was nice to visit with relatives and catch up. After the lunch Charlie and I picked Micah and Jacob up at my parents and drove to Bakersfield. We picked up some Little Ceasers Pizza and hung out until bedtime.

Thursday: We had a relaxing morning and then Micah picked to go to lunch at Carl's Jr. We all enjoyed some chicken stars and the boys and Amelie had so much fun playing on the play structure. After the kids had naps we went played out in the backyard. They took us out to dinner at El Adobe-a yummy Mexican place and then we wnt for dessert at Rosemary's ice cream. It was so delicious. Jacob and I shared a hot fudge brownie sundae and Micah had a bowl of chocolate ice cream with a chocolate chip cookie.

Friday: so far this morning we are just hanging out and we plan on meeting Sarah Kendrick, Darrick's moms best friend, for dinner.
