Melissa's Birthday!

We spent Melissa's birthday weekend up at the lake! We had a nice time! Melissa's friend Jenny L. (formerly Jenny Q.) came up with her Mini Schnauzer named Baxter. Baxter is one, Hailey is three. They hit it off but both are fixed!


Melissa's Grandpa and Marge came up as well as her Aunt and Uncle Brian and Laurie and her cousins Matt and Andy.

Melissa's mom got Melissa a cupcake birthday cake.


The night before, I asked Melissa's sister Laura to go to the store to get Melissa some nice ice cream for her birthday. I was busy destroying Laura's husband Scott in Wii MarioKart during this time. Melissa was sleeping. Laura made the late night run to Walmart and brought back MooseTrack's Ice Cream! It was a hit! The boys liked the ice cream. Melissa liked it so much that she asked me to bring it in to our family picture!


In addition to the ice cream, Laura also got balloons and streamers. Melissa's cousin Breanna and Greg's girlfriend Rebecca helped put up the decorations.

Laura, Scott and me and Hayden went to Home Despot (purposefully misspelled) today to get wood, paint and other stuff to make a bean bag toss game. It is still in the works, but I will post the final product once it is finished. Melissa spent the day waterskiing. A good weekend.
