Bowling With My Nina & Jo-Jo

Here's Madison being Mommy's little helper in the kitchen. By the time you know it, the counters and Maddie are full of water but I don't mind. I really appreciate and enjoy her company.

This is one of her "Sneaky- I didn't do it" looks. She was clearly up to no good and thought she could get away with it because her Nina and uncle Jo-Jo were visiting.

All I have to say is that my little brother Joseph is the KING of BOWLERS! He is really good at it and not to mention competitive. He's pretty good for a 7 year old. I sure did have a great time watching him have a blast!!!

Here's Madison with her Nina Victoria.

Our precious little Maddie is quite the bowler. Her favorite ball was the pink one. She would wait patiently until the pink ball was available because she would not use any other ball.

STRIKE!!!!! Yes, that's right, my baby bowled not 1 but 2 strikes. She would gently push the ball and we thought ball would never reach the pins. So we waited and waited,..... and to our surprise Maddie got a strike. She began to clap and gave us all a high five. She and Joseph had quite the audience.

Here's Maddie with her uncle Joseph. He and my sister Victoria came to visit us for the MLK weekend. We were so excited to see each other. The girls went out and did wedding things while the guys went to eat and to the park. We went to dinner for Joseph, Jon's cousin's, birthday and back to his house for pie. After bowling, we went to the Tachi Palace Casino to check it out. I'm not a gambling person so I hung out with the kids while Jon and Vicky explored. I'm glad they came to visit and of course, I was VERY sad when they left. Madison woke from her nap and was not very happy when she couldn't find them anywhere in the house. She cried for about 30 mins. It was so sad. Thanks Vicki and Joseph for visiting us- we had a great time! Also, we want to say Thank you to Ruth Ann for letting them stay with us.
