Congrats Chris & Ryan!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Ryan & Chris!

Huge Mess!

Here is what our floor usually looks like at the end of the day. (well maybe not that bad everyday, but pretty close!)

Another Mess

I know, there are already a bunch of pictures of Jamie making huge messes while eating, but she's so cute while doing it that I have to post the picture.

Wing Ding

The annual "Wing Ding" block party, with our neighbors, was this past Saturday evening on our street.

Tigs

So the Tigers have the best record in the AL this year so far (better than anyone in the NL too)...and had not lost yet to Kansas City this season...until we decided to go to the game today. Either it was our bad luck, or the fact that it was an unbearable 96 degrees - that made it not possible to pull off a another win. They still have the number one spot though. =)

Another View

A view of Comerica Park for those of you who haven't been there. It's pretty, but to give you the real experience of today's game you have to imagine sitting in the blazing 96 degree sun for a few hours with sweaty, smelly people all around you!

Happy Independence Day!

Today was the day for the Annual Northville 4th of July Parade. We watched from the yard of one of the neighbors a couple houses down from us...because the downtown streets were already packed by the time we made it out of the house. (The parade is a pretty big deal around here.)

Waiting for the parade to start

Waiting patiently.

Not so fond of the loudness

Dawson wasn't really too excited about the fighter jets, the firetruck & police sirens, & all the drums at first.

Not so scared anymore

Now he's willing to get a little closer. (Until something else loud comes.)

Family Photo Time

One of our neighbors, took this one for us. We have nice neighbors. (thanks Robert)

Too cute to not take a picture

We can't help ourselves. We just keep taking more pictures since she's so cute!

Trying to stay cool

Cooling Off.

Taking a break

Taking a break to eat.

Binder Park Zoo

We went to Binder Park Zoo today, on our way home from a weekend on the west side of the state. Kim, Taylor, Cassidy, Kelsey & Jack met us there also. It rained pretty hard most of the moring, but it was still a good time (and better to be wet than super hot and miserable, I think.)

Jamie is Happy

Jamie is excited to be at the zoo (or maybe she's just happy to not be in her carseat.)

Tram Ride

Riding the tram to "Wild Africa."

Jamie

Jamie likes the tram ride too.

Checking out the animals despite the rain.

No matter what I took a picture of them looking at, the expression on their faces were the same.

Watching a Peacock

Taking a cautious stance near a peacock on the walkway.
