Happy Birthday Papa!!

We had a nice little celebration for Papa's birthday

(the real celebration is later this year when we take a trip to Yellowstone).

Mom made a really yummy baseball cake.

I decided the traditional birthday song wasn't good enough for Papa,

so instead I insisted on a 7th Inning Stretch.

First God Bless America,

and Take Me Out to the Ball Game.

Papa even got his wish and got to take a bite out of the cake before we sang.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!

JB's First- Baseball Game

With baseball games a continuous source of fun for our family (especially Papa and I), it was time to share the fun with JB.

We got their early for batting practice,

taught JB how to watch a game,

even while he's spitting-up,

and even got to keep a foul ball (thank you Javier the Ball Boy).

It was great, even if JB slept through the last half of the game!

Memorial Day 2012

We had a nice Memorial Day weekend. 

We got to see some family,

Papa and I went to a baseball game,

We all watched some local fireworks

(AK teaching JB how to watch fireworks)

with Mom covering his ears, JB didn't cry once, but seemed very curious,

and on Monday we watched the local parade

(not the best pic- but there were lots of preschools and marching bands- good fun).

Most of all we're thankful to all those who risk their lives to protect our freedom, especially to those who have died doing so, and their families who have also sacrificed so much.
