D-backs baseball game

Around here in Phoenix, the D-backs (Diamond Backs) are pretty popular. Locals are proud of their team so we just had to check out one of their games for ourselves. And what is summer without going to at least one major league baseball game? This was also Ivy's first baseball game ever. She would watch every now and again but mostly wanted to play on the little toddler playground there that actually had a nice view of the game. It was a pretty cool ballpark. Even though we will always be Astros fans at heart, it was still so much fun to go to another team's game to watch some great baseball. And great baseball we got! (and great food, too. gotta love hot dogs and pretzels mmm) There were some awesome plays and the D-backs killed the Mariners. We actually had to leave early because Ivy was getting tired(the girl gets crazy when it's time for a nap) but they already had a strong lead when we left. We went with Andy and Christa and some of the sales boys and it was fun to hang out with everyone. I'll post a group pic later once I get a copy of it..

Father's Day 2012

Just trying to play catch up. My days seem to just be racing by lately. Only 3 more weeks til we leave for TN! I so wanted to have Ivy's quiet book done before our drive but I don't think it's going to happen.  Anywho, here are a few fun pics from our day to celebrate the best dad in whole world! I forgot to get a pic of Sam with his gifts we got him.. Sam is the type to just go out and buy things that he wants so I had to think of something creative. He has made comments in the past about how it would be nice to have a pocket knife so I found him an awesome Leatherman online for a good price. He loved it! We also got him a few new ties, so cliche, I know, but he really did need some new ones. He has been wearing the same 3 for months now and I was getting bored with them, haa. Anyways, here are a few pics from our day.. We made some awesome bbq bacon wrapped shrimp for lunch (and I mean awesome) and Sam's favorite Texas Sheet Cake for dessert/dinner, lol. Sam had a nice relaxing day doing all the things he loves-Settlers on the Xbox with his brothers, playing the piano, and playing with his baby girl. Happy Father's Day babe! We are so grateful for all you do for us. Especially for making us laugh and knowing how to make everything in life so much fun! Love you!

Not sure why but this little toot was not into smiling for the camera that day. In fact, anytime, I tried to get in the pic with them, she would push me away. Guess she wanted her daddy all to herself... punk. haha..
