Take Me Out to the Ballgame!!

On Tuesday night we took the boys to the baseball game. The Diamondbacks v Pittsburgh Pirates
Evan has been asking to go to the baseball game for a few weeks now and he wants to wear a baseball shirt everyday so we were so excited for them to go to the game!!

Daddy and his boys
I was so excited to go to the game with them since I was a big St. Louis Cardinals fan and started going to games when I was 5 years old
watching the players warm up
We got awesome seats right near the visitor dugout 

having fun!!
I didn't get a picture of us but we were on the big jumbotron before the game started. Alex kept saying he wanted to be on tv again....LOL!!
there were 2 men sitting behind us and one of them was wearing a Pirates jersey.  He kept yelling at the players to toss him a ball as they were walking to the dugout. Finally a player did and the man gave the ball to Alex!!  We can't thank him enough for making the game so special for Alex!

The guys behind us kept saying we just need one more ball for Evan.  Sure enough a foul ball was hit in the first inning and the man behind us caught it and gave it to Evan.  Here he is with his baseball... he wouldn't let anyone look at it!
Wes seemed to have a smile on his face the whole game....what a proud daddy!
cheering on the home team


Alex's baseball was signed by Pedro Alvarez. He actually hit a homerun for the Pirates during the game
enjoying the game with Daddy
Evan loved these characters that came out at the top of the 6th inning.  When he couldn't see them anymore he kept saying "where did those guys go mommy??"

Evan had a great time at the baseball game
We left in the 6th inning
What a great game!!
the boys both got to take home baseballs

Football Party Play Date

On Sunday we were invited to our friends Ken and Michelle's  house for a football party and play date.

Denise and Abby with baby Logan
Evan and Anessa playing Barbies

abby and logan
what do you think they are talking about?!?
Evan, Anessa, Kiran and Kathan
Anessa and Alex swimming across the kiddie pool
I told Alex that we could go swimming in the kiddie pool and he said "is that where the cats swim?"
ethan
Evan loves the water
the pool was great because the water in this area was shallow enough for them to stand and play

Anessa on the alligator raft.....Evan was afraid of this so we had to move the alligator to the big pool haha!
the kids had so much fun
time to play with some water guns
Evan hanging out eating a fruit snack
time for lunch
logan was worn out from watching all the kids swim
Evan and Aunt Abby
Evan was playing in the little house so Abby and I got in to play with him. He thought that was funny!!
We had a great day and we were so glad we got to hang out with good friends!!

Outdoor Fun!!

I am always looking for things to do with the boys when Wes is at work on the weekends and I saw this little pool at Target and thought the boys would love it!!  I started to blow up the pool and realized I needed a pump since I was getting dizzy.  It is a little funny that I paid $7 for the pool but $21 for the pump to blow it up .... but it was all worth it!!!
the slide looked a little bigger in the picture  LOL!!
Evan spraying down Alex with the giraffe 
now Evan is watering the yard with the giraffe 
the boys had fun in the pool until they got too cold
time to warm up and go inside for dinner
