Here's a little riddle for you...
What do the following pictures have in common?
(this is not meant to be obscene
)
Yes when it comes to this little guy...
they are all "baskets". Anywhere there is a ball (or any other object somewhat round and throwable), and some sort of round (or resembling round) opening they become a basket and you better watch out for flying objects. Maybe his nickname should be MJ.
So Matt calls me one morning from work and says he had been given 4 tickets and a parking pass to the Rockies game, and that the seats are right behind home plate, and the game was today and he really wanted to go. It was a 1:00 game and he was going to leave work at 11:30 so that we could go. Well being a girl, and not a very spontaneous one, I had already made plans for the day and I had a whole list of "to do's" for myself. Being that me and the kids are leaving for vacation in just a few days, I really needed the time to get things done. So he says he'll just take the kids and let Brayden bring a friend. Are you crazy? I wouldn't even try that one. I tried to convince him to just waste one of the tickets and just take our boys so he could enjoy himself a little, but he insisted it would be fun and that it would be okay. So we called Brayden's friend, he was free to go, and off they went.
Here are some pictures from the event...
They had a GREAT time and haven't stopped talking about it since. I'm continually amazed at what a great man my husband is, and oh soooo brave!
So tomorrow we leave to visit family and friends for almost 3 whole weeks (Matt will meet us a week later, he can't take too much time off of work). The kids and I are going to Reno, NV for a week to visit our good friends (the Hemerson's), and then we will meet up in Cali to spend the rest of our time with Matt's parents, Jacob, Julia and kids, and Matt, Christi and hopefully baby for the remainder of our time. We CAN'T wait! We'll see some of you soon!
So this has been one crazy summer. We've been totally busy doing summer things that I haven't had time to blog about any of it. We've been keeping busy with the usual like; swimming, t-ball, going to the park, swimming, playing with friends, having friends come visit us (thanks for the fun time Janna, Aleah and Mya), going to the movies, playing miniature golf, a trip to the zoo, oh and did I mention swimming. Plus trying to stay on top of things like keeping the house clean, getting laundry done, and dishes clean. And we can't forget getting prepared for Breaking Dawn by re-reading the first 3 books! So here are some pictures from our summer adventures!
Oh yeah, I forgot about jumping on the trampolines with bungee cords at Matt's work picnic. That was awesome!
We have one more month left of summer before school starts and the best is yet to come. Can't wait to get to Cali! We'll be seeing some of you soon!:)
So I hope everyone had a great fourth of July...We sure did!!! We made our annual trek to Water World. My parents came with us this year. It was the perfect day to go...HOT! HOT! HOT! There wasn't a cloud in the sky all day long and it was so hot that all we wanted to do was be IN the water. I hate those times when we go and it's cloudy or slightly breezy and getting in the water is more torturous than fun. They also built a new area that they named 'The Big Top'. It has a circus theme, and they made it an older kid play area with a lazy river, some slides that only kids under 60 inches could ride, a big pool with huge elephants squirting out water, a fun house, and then they added one adult attraction, which was a timed slide. So there were 8 slides all equal in length, and at the same time you would race down the slide head first on a mat, and at the end it told you how fast you went and which place you came in. It was WAY FUN! We were just bummed we didn't discover it until the end of the day. Here are some pics from the day (Sorry, none of 'The Big Top' area we didn't have our camera over there)...
After Water World we ate at Texas Roadhouse. YUM! YUM! Then went over to some friends house (Cee Cee and Bill's) to watch fireworks and light some of our own. We all had a great time and were BEAT by the time we made it to bed.
