Happy Independence Day!

We had a BBQ yesterday with family and some friends (which Maddox slept through mostly lol) and afterwards we went to the races! Maddox's Uncle Matt raced at Raceway Park in Shakopee, MN. It was alot of fun. Grandma Mary, George, Uncle Kerry, Auntie Amy, Dante, Ariana, and Kaden came with. Grandma Diane and BePaw Kirby invited Aunt Dawn, Emily, and BePaws friend Steve. Maddox wasn't so sure about the races. Throughout the entire thing he asked "Go Home?" He did have some good times though. Mostly, he just hated the ear plugs.

6.28.2007 - Yesterday, Maddox, Clayton, and I went to the baseball game. Twins Vs. Blue Jays. 8-to-5. It was a great game. I missed a little, Clayton missed a little. Torii had 2 home runs and another pretty cool catch (doesn't he always?!). We parked at Daddy's work and took the light rail over to the Metrodome. Maddox liked that.

More popcorn. I'm a little upset because I didn't realize we left the bucket from the last game at the dome and we didn't get one this time. I really wanted to bring it home.

And since we told Maddox he could only have Soda at baseball games, he was pretty much attached to it.

We've been really bad at updating lately. Pure laziness.

The month has been fairly uneventful so far. Maddox had a doctor's appointment on Monday, the 4th. He coughs A LOT everytime he sleeps. Nap or Bedtime. We were thinking allergies, so they drew blood, but everything came back normal and he IgE test came back at 9.something. Apparently anything between 0.4 and 300 and something is normal, so he was at the really low end, which means that it is highly unlikely that he has any allergies.

He did awesome at the doctors office. The only thing he said when they stuck the needle in his arm was "ow mommy, it hurts". No tears, no cries, no yelling, no screaming. The nurses were pretty entertained with his attitude towards everything and they gave him a mini blow up beach ball.

Friday, we dropped off our 4x6 proofs at the photographers to have them put into an album. We picked up 8x10's for our (Clayton and I) parents and we also got the CD with all of the images on it and permission to print as many, whenever, wherever. Maddox was crazy while we were there. He has been growling and raspberry-ing alot lately. Especially around strangers, when he is feeling nervous. I think it is his ice breaker.

This Monday we went to the North Mississippi Regional Park with Auntie Amy, Dante, Ariana, and Kaden. Our playgroup was there. We were going to meet Auntie there, but I forgot to get the car seat out of Clayton's car (so our friend Sara could come get us) so Auntie had to come get us. We made her children lunch as a trade. After we all played in the wading pool and at the park, we went to Aunties to cool off and then to Grandma Mary's.

We all went to Walmart and Maddox got some really cool stuff. Cousin Dante needed a baseball bat (he is playing T-Ball and the bat we had was too big and too heavy) and Maddox got a little jealous. He tried to pick out a real bat, glove, and ball, but they don't make them for 2.5 year olds, so he got a plastic and foam T-ball set. it's still a little too big for him, but he needs to play with it constantly.

He now has a
+ Football
+ Soccer ball
+ Golf set
+ Hockey set
+ T-Ball set

All the kid needs now is a basketball hoop and ball!

He's a sports superstar!

Anyways, onto the photos!

That's all for now. I'm sure there will be more baseball pictures. He is so cute when he plays and I'm so proud of how well he does! So I have to take alot of pictures.
