Take Me Out to the Ballgame

We took William to his first of many Cleveland Indians games! Despite the FREEZING temps, the kids had an absolute bast at fun day (If you are a Clevelander, go check out Sundays down at the plaza...SO MUCH FUN!) and running the bases! Elise told me she wants to live at Slider's house. Me, too, girlfriend, me too.

The Indians pulled out a HUGE win against the Detroit Tigers which kept us cheering the whole 9 innings. William just giggled and smiled the whole game. Yes, he was meant to be a Tribe fan. Let's hope for his sake, they win a championship...soon.

April Round-Up

Ack, where did the last 5 weeks go!!?!?! Sorry about that, April was an insane month! We left on our road trip to NY. 2 kids & Mommy traveling from MI to NY to visit Grammies, Aunt KK, Aunt Sandy, & Grandpa. Our mission to find Aunt KK a wedding dress & get the bridesmaids outfitted. Mission completed! I love my MOH dress & Karen is going to be the most beautiful bride. :)

Also while we were in NY, we went to the indoor waterpark, bummed around Clifton Park, went to Hoffman's playland and celebrated Easter. Whew! A lot to fit in in a week!

After the road trip, Mark & I celebrated our holiday at Jacob's Field  ahem, Progressive Field. The weather could of not been more PERFECT! Our crew got a bit bigger this year, as we added Amanda, Jessica, & William to the pack. The only downside, eh the Indians lost. However, I am not expecting them to do be in the playoffs until at least we get a new owner. LOL!

Then I started classes to be a volunteer at Beaumont Hospital. It has been very rewarding so far and I am glad I took the giant step into doing something for me.

Finally our travels took us to Chicago for Mike & Kiely's wedding shower. We celebrated Daddy's Birthday at his favorite Chicago eatery, Tango Sur. Elise & William LOVED riding the EL. Where Elise told us that the sign on the Tracks said, "Do not stand on the train tracks or the train will STOMP you." Love that girl! The wedding shower was a blast and the kids got to play with Auntie Dana at her fab pad. On Sunday, we had the most wonderful brunch at Prairie Fire. My eggs benedict was amazing. Then on the way home we listened to the CAVS stomp the Bulls.

Finally, we ended out April celebrating Mother Earth at the Plymouth Green Street Fair. It was a fun filled street fair filled with a ton of kids activities.

Whew, what a fun filled crazy month!! (Pictures to be added later!)
