4th of July Weekend

We had a good 4th of July weekend - Friday night we went to Brian and Val's for their annual party - Maddux slept through lots of fireworks that they set off in their driveway! Apparently that's how we need to get him to go to sleep? :) Saturday we went to a picnic at McDowell Dam and then Gramma Sandy and Papa Mike came over for a visit to our house....

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Maddux in his overalls - they are newborn size and as you can see he is outgrowing that size quickly! Had to get him in these cute overalls before he got too big for them!!

On his way home from the picnic - exhausted!

Riley playing some baseball:

Jillian, Lisa and Gramma Great with Maddux

More baseball action:

Not sure if this is a gas-related smile or inadavertant - but Mommy still thinks it counts as a smile from Maddux :)

Gramma Joyce & Maddux eating once again:

Jay & Tom grilling with a cute umbrella to ward off the rain shower:

All dressed up for Brian & Val's party - my first party!!

All in all it was a good weekend but little Maddux did catch a cold - so we are trying to help him through that. Jay has been really sick as well. We're hoping all the sickness goes away soon so our summer is more enjoyable!

Chris and Val and the girls stopped by last night too for supper and to visit - the girls did a good job holding Maddux and it was fun to have them over!

Other than that, we are just busy being parents to Maddux and to the beagles - all of them keep us on our toes!!

Have a great week everyone!
