Blackhawks, Birthdays and Boys

This weekend was a very busy one for our family. But we had a lot of fun!

Andy and I were lucky enough to go to the Blackhawks (game 3) on Friday night. Thanks Dad! It was an amazing game! We were on the edge of our seats most of the time, and by the end were hugging strangers. We had great seats and had so much fun cheering on the team. Go Hawks!!











Saturday we had our nieces birthday party. She turned 5, and had a bunch of her friends there too. The boys had a great time playing all the games Auntie Kelly had organized and jumping in the bouncy castle. It's always fun to see them around other kids. And this time they were VERY outnumbered by girls. Too cute!





Spike and his favorite cousin.


Monkey and the birthday girl.




Enjoying the jumpy castle.


Andy, Spike, Monkey and all the girls!


Sunday we celebrated Meemaw's 89th birthday. Most grandma's this age would be sitting down, watching the festivities and relaxing. Not my grandma! She was running through the sprinkler with the boys, playing catch, and pushing trains around the floor. I hope I have that much energy when I am her age!


I love this look of pure joy on Spike's face!

The new sprinkler was a big hit!

We had so much fun this weekend! It made me realize how great the summer is really going to be. And by the way, for me that starts Thursday!
