WE MET COWBOY TROY!!!!

It was a total fluke. We were at Race Ralley in Joliet. It was rainy and cold and were heading back to the car. And they announced him on stage. Madilyn ran toward the stage. We stayed and listed to him sing, then got to meet him and have our picture take with him. He was awesome. So nice!

Happy 4th of July

We spent today at the park near the Kankakee river...in the rain. We cooked out and let off a few fire works. The rain let up just in time for the "real" fireworks display.

I was off work today. YAY! That never happens during the week. So I took Madilyn bowling and Steve joined us for the second game. When we were done, we hit the fireworks stand.

It's been a sunshiney weekend!

Yesterday, Steve, Madilyn and I went to the club to the beach for the day. We spent the day swimming and playing in the sand. I took the camera, but do you think I took any pictures? NOPE! We had a really good time...except for getting crispy fried. I am soooo sunburned. Then when we got home I went upstairs to take a shower and found Madilyn sitting in her bean bag chair in her swimsuit, bathrobe and crocs...Sound Asleep.

Today was the Howard Family Reunion. That would be Steve's mom's family. It was a good time. Visiting and getting to see people we never get to see. And good food! YUM!

Madilyn is staying the night with her Grandma and Papa tonight because Steve is having a Steroid injection in his right hip tomorrow. Hopefully, things will go smoothly. If you could say a little prayer, that would be great!

This has been a sad week for me. I found out that last Friday night, my favorite Aunt, Maxine passed away. She was awesome...crazy, but awesome.

Then a few celebrities...I mean big celebrities passed away. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson. Crazy I tell ya!
