Take me out to the Ballgame

We had so much fun at the Diamondbacks game last night. Chris got some really great tickets from work. We were sitting on row 18 just above the dugout. They played the Atlanta Braves and lost 4-6. The D-Backs rallied in the bottom of the 8th inning but fell short. The boys' little league team this spring was the Atlanta Braves so they were excited to see their major league counterparts play the hometown team. Keaton and Andrew noticed that the D-Backs have lost all 3 games we've attended - maybe we're bad luck...

The boys supporting their team.

Andrew on top of the D-Backs dugout singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch. Andrew usually doesn't enjoy singing so we were surprised he was willing to go up - maybe it was the cute cheerleader that convinced him.?.?.?

Keaton not about to sing since he didn't know all of the words (or so he says).

Matt just chillin' and enjoying all of the lights, noise and fanfare of the baseball game. Matt lasted most of the game but took a cat nap for about an inning.

Tree Monkeys

The boys had a blast playing at my mom's neighbor's treehouse. It had six levels and looked questionably safe whereas the zip line seemed quite sturdy. Russell, Cali, Jessie and Shara joined in on the fun.

Keaton having a great time.

Andrew coming down the zip line.

Andrew climbing the tree infront of Grandma & Grandpa's house. Every time we were outside they'd say, " Watch me!" or "Look how high I can climb."

Keaton hanging onto the branch like a monkey. They had so much fun playing outside where it wasn't quite as hot as it is at home.

Utah Vacation

The boys swimming with all of their Utah cousins. They had fun playing games and having a sleepover. We really miss spending time with all of you.

Playing mini golf at Cascade with Granma & Grandpa Crofts and Jen and Kevin on the 4th of July.

Keaton and Andrew teamed up with Dad to soak Aunt Jen with water balloons. Okay, we all ended up soaked as well as the deck and kitchen floor and anyone else in the way.

This swingset has been here since Aunt Jen played on it. It's seen better days but is still loads of fun.

Matt looking cute and oh so big at four months old.

We enjoyed visiting family this past week in Utah and wish that we could have stayed another week or two. The boys had a sleepover with their cousins, swam, had a water balloon fight, did the slip and slide, watched Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E, played mini golf, went to Sqaw Peak, hiked Bridal Veil Falls and rode the zip line from the neighbor's treehouse. We also enjoyed a BBQ, mini golf and tons of fireworks with Chris' family. Chris got in his first golf games of the year. He golfed at Cascade, Talon's Cove, and Sleepy Ridge. I went to my first card making class ever, went shopping and enjoyed spending time with our families. It was fun for everyone to see Matt; he is getting so big. At four months he traveled pretty well for having to lay in his car seat for 12+ hrs. The boys keep saying how much they miss being in Utah and speculate about what they would be doing if they were still there. We had so much fun and wish we lived closer so we could visit more often. We send our love to you all and thank you for letting us share a week with you.
