Hey batter, batter, batter.....sssswwwwing batter!!!

For A's birthday, we surprised him and took the fam to a Bee's Baseball game. It was killing him the whole way there not knowing where we were going. When we got there and told him, he yells...NO WAY!! Yes....mission accomplished!!! We had a really fun time. I love going places with my family and spending good, fun quality time together. Even though its crazy and a lot of work looking after 4 kids....thats what makes it fun, that and Kirk and I doing it together!!! Our family sure has worked out GREAT!!!

This is how A spent most of his birthday. He went to bed not feeling good at all the night before,and was totally distraught that he was going to be sick on his birthday. He was with Bek and Stef and Angelle that night, and not even they could help him feel better. Thanks for trying ladies. He just needed his mama. When he woke up the next morning, he was doing ok, but as the day wore on, he got worse. He had huge swollen glads(you could see how huge they were) such a sore throat, that is was making it had for him to talk. He said he still wanted to go out for his b-day, so we pumped him full of the good old childrens motrin and he was good as new. I would ask him every now and then while at the game how he was doing and he would say..."I feel great mom." Man I love this boy!!!
Getting settled in for the game!!!
E took some pix of the game. I thought she did a pretty good job. Batter up!!!!
We actually got a run!!!
This is the view from where we were sitting. The Bess hit a home run and it landed right in front of E and me. She wanted to go grab it, but 5 huge guys were running for it, so she stayed back so she wouldnt get trampled on...to bad....still pretty cool!!!
I love this pic. The 2 men in my life. A is so Kirk, its almost comical. Hes Kirk now, not when Kirk was a kid.
Train ride!
Kirk took the younger 3 on the train ride(boring) so E and I had some time to hang out. She is so great. She was totally into the game though. She would call the ball before they would, and I would say 95% of the time, she was right. I was pretty impressed, and we were even sitting out on the grass.
You know what they say.....a family that shares an ice cream cone together, stays together. Bumble Ripple it was called, and it was ginormous and delicious!!! It sure didnt last long. Sad thing is....I so could have downed that by myself....so glad I didnt!
Birthday Boy!!!


My turn!! I was being rushed by R. She thought it was hers....of course!
ES wanted Bumble(thats his name) to sign her ball. She was a little timid, but she got it. All the kiddies did!!
A had on a hat and took it off so Bumble could sign it. He thought that was pretty cool!
