"Take Me Out to the Ball Park"

Today we took the kids to their first major league baseball game.....The Detroit Tigers vs California Angels  we had fantastic seats (8 rows behind home plate) and we all had a great time.  We told them yesterday that we were taking them to a game, so all day today they were asking "is it time to go yet?"

It was time and it was hot, thankfully a big cloud blew over us after the 4th ining and we didn't have the sun beating down on us any longer (not that it stopped us from smiling or anything).  

I love my family and I love that the kids are getting to an age where we can do things together instead of always leaving them home for fear they won't behave (not that they always behave or anything) but either way its nice!  The kids got to ride the tiger carousel and eat peanuts and hotdogs and drink lemonade.....Life is good today!

Arrrrr......too bad they lost 5-1

A Best Friend

A "Best Friend" is someone you trust, someone you can laugh, cry and have fun with.  A "Best Friend" is someone you never loose touch with even as the years go on and the lives get busier.  A "Best Friend" is someone you've shared death, birth and everything in between with.  A "Best Friend" is someone you can not talk to for months and still just pick right up where you left off with.  A "Best Friend" knows some of your secrets and trusts you with hers.......This is my Best Friend!

 

We had a Fabulous day at the beach together the other day with our kids, yes its so hard to believe that we are allowed to be Mothers, but we are.  Obviously doing a pretty good job at it too, look how happy these "Best Friends" are.....

My "Best Friend" and I have been having fun together since we were in Junior High....We have had some pretty wild  amazing experiences together through High School, College, Marriage and Motherhood....I wouldn't have it any other way!  Sitting on the beach watching our kids play while we laughed and reminisced about how old young we were, well it was the BEST!!  

Tie Die

This Past weekend we Tie Die'd Tshirts with all the kids (Tennessee Cousins included).....Yes it was Fun, but Yes it was a lot of work!!  Not a small child kind of project if you know what I mean.

The end result was some pretty cool looking Tie-Die T-Shirts and you should of seen the excitement as we cut the rubber bands and rinsed out each child's T-Shirt..... Well worth it!  

"At North"

We spent the last week Up North at my Aunt Patti's cabin....or as Alec calls is "At North"!!! He absolutely looooooves it Up North, he loves everything about it (swimming,fishing,eating,playing,swinging,gator riding, boat riding, 'nature walking', chicken visiting, family & friends loving).   We had the most amazing weather and the most amazing times.....

These Boys had some quality time together doing the father-son things Boys do.....Alec's all time favorite daddy activity is a "Foyer Ride" aka: Four Wheeler Ride.  They even saw some wildlife and went fishing.....another favorite for Alec.

Macy finally after 6 years got up enough nerve to go tubing with her cousin Aiden....We took it slow, at first they were unsure, but soon Aiden was acting bored and Macy was loosening the grip!

She is becoming very confident in the water and can swim independently yet still loves the security of a life jacket (which is fine by me)......She also loves jumping off the dock with a raft.

In summary it was an Amazing Vacation "At North"
