June...6 Months! Let the summer begin!

So... our house has been on the market with a Realtor for a month now. So far nothing too exciting, we for sure had more interest when we were selling for sale by owner. Not to mention our Realtor never communicates with us and has no clue when we have a showing! When we do have showings it gets a little hectic around here!! Makenzie doesn't stop crying and won't take naps and Ruger won't leave me alone, so I'm constantly tripping over him. Not a good situation :0)

I am still working one day a week! Katie, who was watching Makenzie on Friday's, has taken another job! So until Mom is done driving bus we have had some wonderful friends and family help watch Makenzie on Friday's so I can still go to work! Claire even got to watch Makenzie for a day :0) She definitely did a good job!


Makenzie has been eating solids for a few weeks now! She absolutely loves it and is such a good eater! We started her on rice cereal, then to oatmeal, then to veggies and fruit. So far there hasn't been anything that she hasn't liked!
At her 6 month appt we learned that she is in the 75% for everything!! Good growing girl!
She loves the mirror at the Dr's office! Not to mention the paper! The scale... not so much!


No teeth yet... no hair! Learned to sit up on her own! Every day she does so much!

Our first weekend in June was HOT!!! Matt went fishing with Brian and caught a good chunk of fish. I can't believe how long they went fishing... the temps were in the 90's!



Boy, I wish the cottage was closer, because Makenzie and I would have bopped over for a dip in the lake! Instead we kept busy with a neighborhood garage sale! I swear we ran across at least 100 sales in one HUGE neighborhood! Didn't find a whole lot, but ended up getting some sand toys, a ladybug baby raft and some baby clothes. It was too hot to be out long... I needed my air conditioning!
The second weekend we ended up going to the cottage for Matt's birthday! Makenzie and I met Matt in GR after we both got out of work and headed up. Hmm... it went okay. Makenzie wasn't the most pleasant! It definitely threw off our schedule being in the car at that time for so long! But turned out to be a good weekend!

Earlier in June Meijer had a promo going that got us 4 free tickets to the MIS Race for the Nextel Cup! FREE! Sweet! So Father's Day morning off we headed to the races! Not the best place for a nursing mother.... seeing as how we were there for the DAY. So while the guys ate their lunch (AND guarded the car) I sat in the front seat pumping.

Lesson that was learned: Men can't focus on multiple things! If they are hungry and want to get back to the races... they will eat as fast as they can totally FOCUSING ON THE FOOD. Not the people surrounding the car wondering what I was doing. I was mortified and NOT a happy camper to say the least.

So anyways. It was a good day for the races... Cloudy and breezy. Still hot but could have been worse! We rented scanners so we could listen in to all of the different crews! What fun!

The boys ready to go!!!


Happy First Father's Day Matt!! We celebrated a day before the races :0) Makenzie brought some pictures we had done to her Dad in bed!

Okay... the final weekend of June to follow! But first, here's a cute pic of Makenzie and Boogity. Boogity keeps sneaking into Makenzie's room and waking her up from her nap!!!
