July 4th Festivities



We went to our first TinCaps game of the season on July 4th. We usually get seats in the lawn area, but we decided to give the regular seats a try. I thought it would be nice to have a closer view of the game. The seats we got were just a couple rows up and right behind home plate. We enjoyed being so close and now I'm not sure we'll want to ever go back to sitting in the lawn. They had fireworks planned after the game and they did not disappoint! We didn't get home until almost midnight. That is much later than we usually ever stay out, but it was worth it to enjoy some holiday fun together. :)

 My boys enjoying a hot dog before the game. It was nice that hot dogs and pop are $1 on Mondays.
 Trying to get a family photo. The sun was so bright it was hard to see.

After the third inning, we got up to let Ben get some wiggles out. We all got an ice cream cone and Ben ended up with a lot of his on his face. :)

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
