Relay For Life

Madeline with Jack and Addison a few weeks ago at the zoo

This past weekend the Cancer Crushing Cuties (my girlfriends and I) participated in the Madison Heights Relay for Life event. We had a GREAT day. Our on-site fundraisers were temporary tattoos (thank you Megan), a flea market (to get rid of our junk), and selling Italian sausages (the skaters loved them). Bri and Madeline came for part of the late morning and then returned for the evening and stayed quite late. Bri manned the grill with our friend Steve and Auntie Megan and Broc came as well. Our team raised at least close to $700 that day in addition to individual donations and then the $1000 plus we made for the pub crawl. Our entire team minus one member walked 24 miles the day of the event and we can't wait till next year. Madeline enjoyed the event DJ and then bands that performed and was very happy that there was a playground on-site as well :) Madeline wore her "Find a Cure before I Get Boobies" shirt and everyone loved it. I think next year we should sell t-shirts :)
This week Bri's mom Sandy is staying with us and watching Madeline. They are having a BLAST. Monday they went to the park and had a busy day riding the bikes and playing at the playground. Yesterday Nana Linda came down and the grandmas took Maddy to the zoo all day. She was spoiled rotten. She got a new hat, a giraffe and a tiger stuffed animal. She took a long nap but i could tell she was exhausted from the long day when i got home. Today i think they were going to take it easy and tomorrow evening Scott and Dave will come into town and then auntie Leigh arrives on Friday. Busy weekend with Kickball on Friday, Tiger's vs. brewers on Saturday and Sunday and Father's day as well.
Not sure yet what Madeline and i are going to get for her awesome daddy this year. he is such a great dad (and husband) and there are no gifts in the world that could express how much he means to each of us. We are lucky gals :) Below are some pictures of Maddy from the Relay this weekend and I'll get some of her from the zoo from sandy.
