Here Maddy meets Elmo (Daddy) while Grandmas and Great-Grandma watch.
Recently we celebrated Maddy's 2nd Birthday, we had a great party with all Maddy's friends and family. We chose a Elmo theme and even had a visit from him. The kids were a little nervous about a 6ft version of the character but warmed up nicely! Here are some cupcaked we had were super full of frosting a personal favorite.
sorry for the short posting, have been on for an hour and uploading pics is a hassle w/alot of errors today.
Hey all, summer is finally here. We had a great weekend just pass and we enjoyed all the summer sunshine.
Midsummer days in North Branch brought the parade. We love parades, Allie is here on a float for her gymnastics group. Daddy and Maddy ran out to greet her.
There were a few rain drops before the parade started but soon it led to more beautiful sun. Here Maddy learns to run into the streets to get candy. She had a great time, was a little scared of all the fire engines and cop cars with loud horns and sirens. Maddy's favorite of all were the Shriners on their "Harley Davidson's Daddy." 
Daddy is enjoying his new toy here. Thank you Uncle Sam for the economic stimulous check, we never could have done it without ya.
To celebrate the first day of summer we spent the day here on a sandy beach on the river. Nothing like sun, sand, food and family.
