Sesame Street Live!

My mom and I took Maddi and my two nieces to Sesame Street Live on Saturday! The girls LOVED it!! Especially Elmo! When he came out on stage Maddi just stared and then she said, "Elmo's big!" It was so cute! It actually held their attention for almost the entire show. Maddi got a little fidgety in the second half, but not bad. The whole thing, including intermission, was only and hour and a half. So it was perfect! I would definitely take her back again next year!





Maddi and Sadee in their Elmo shirts!

Right at intermission, this guy comes out and parades this handful of Elmo balloons in front of all the kids! Of course, they all wanted one! I took $20 up there to find out they were $10 a piece! Highway robbery! Of course, I got 2 anyway. I threatend them they better not let them go! Within 5 minutes, Kaily let hers go! Agh! So I wouldn't let anyone hold the last one. I kept it the rest of the show. I even took it to the bathroom with me! I wasn't letting $10 go up in the air again! And, yes, I realize it's just going to deflate but that's not the point! And worse, they bring them out at intermission, and then ask you to put it under your seat for the second half of the show! It was big and didn't really fit under the seat. Ridiculous! Why not wait until the end?






Mr. Noodle even made an appearance!


Elmo and Abby Cadabby!







They got Elmo dolls, too! Spoiled, I know!








Moss' parents were in town this weekend also. His dad ran the Cowtown Marathon and got 1st in his age group! Yay Grandpa! Unfortunately, since Maddi and I were at Sesame Street Live, (which we bought tickets for several months ago not knowing it would end up on the same weekend) we didn't get to go and cheer him on. But we are very proud of him!

Here are some pics from Sunday when we met them for breakfast before they headed back out of town!



As you can tell, we were facing into the sun! We are all squinting! Not a great pic!



Peyton's 6th Birthday Party

My nephew Peyton turned 6 this month! Ashly and Scott had his birthday party last weekend at Main Event. We had a great time! Maddi enjoyed bowling and playing in the arcade! Happy Birthday Peyton!

The birthday boy!
