Thursday night Madeline and I headed up to Saginaw and us along with my mom went to the Loons game. Madeline had a blast. Our good friends Judge and Sarah joined us and with Sarah came Joye, Beth, Tom and Amelia. Amelia is going to be 4 in September and Madeline had so much fun with her. They got to get their picture taken with the Loons mascot and play on the giant play structure they have. Madeline also got a ball from one of the young pitchers. It was a really fun night.

He got out of work early:) Then that night we went to Sarah and Drew's house for a get together. SO MUCH FUN was had:) Bri and i were of course the last ones to leave and it was so nice to be able to meet Joye and get to know her. we wish you lived closer Joye :( Here are some adorable pictures Joye took of the girls. http://www.flickr.com/photos/30699398@N02/sets/72157620886508101/

Saturday was spent laying by the pool, or jumping into the pool if you are Madeline, and relaxing till fireworks time. Judge was awesome enough to get us tickets for the Island and we had GREAT seats. We got there around 7 and so we had a little over an hour to sit and wait for the festivities to begin but Madeline did excellent. we allowed her to have her wa wa (pacifier) and brought along her portable DVD player and those things along with some snacks worked out great. She was pleasant and cooperative and even tried to go to sleep on my lap before the fireworks started. Once they did begin though she LOVED them. She kept saying "cool" every time one went off.

It got a little chilly waiting
Sunday both Great Grandma Joyce and Marilyn joined us at the park in Hemlock along with cousin Bobbie and Aunt Jean and then we even got to see the Apsey's there as well. Madeline had a great time playing at the playground and was a tired out little girl when we finally decided it was time to head back home.
All in all it was such a GREAT weekend and nice to have some family time and GREAT to spend time with AWESOME friends. Thanks everyone!
Yesterday Madeline got some new kicks. she was fortunate enough to be spoiled rotten and got a new pair of Croc's, her favorite, and some new tennis shoes that are super fast. She even tried them out in the store and was running all over. She of course wanted me to time her running (which means me counting out loud) and boy where they fast. I think we might have a little track star developing. i wonder where she gets that from :)

I just saw this! It was so fun getting to know you guys and Madeline. She is so adorable. I'm looking forward to seeing Sarah and Drew next week at the beach. We've talked about making MI our regular 4th of July destination. Amelia had such a good time. Hope you are enjoying the rest of the summer.
