Harper is 7 Weeks Old Today!

She had a very hot and busy day, and I did not do a good job of taking her picture...and in this one she looks a bit like bigfoot and if you could hear her she also sounds like she is snoring. So cute! Snoring is only cute on little people btw not so cute on her Daddy...

Let the Game Begin!

Carson was ready to play tonight! I thought without a nap and a long day at the Royals game he wouldn't hang but he did! He played better than ever tonight. Great job C!

Then Mr D did a great job too--scored several times and even in the correct goal tonight!

Then the highlight of every game, he end of game snack! Somethings don't change with age...in the end it really is all about dessert...

Carson's First Royals Game

Here we are all trecking into the stadium. We are parked about as far out as you can get at Arrowhead so it was a haul. This was Harper's first game too, but since she slept through most of it and was in the photographers arms most of the time she did not get pictures taken. In fact, because of her there were not many photos taken at all. We were lucky to have someone give us two tickets when we were walking in so for the five of us it only cost us $13 to get in, now that was the bargain of the day.

Here is Carson eating his "claw". He doesn't like food but give him a good piece of foam and apparently he will have at it. This explains the little pieces of foam swoard I have been finding all over the house. This claw was from last season or I would complain here about what that cost too :-)

Here is Davis riding "Slugger". Carson is on a horse...not sure what that has to do with baseball, but there were giant bats and balls and gloves you could ride too, now that would have been a cute pic. Maybe next time! For anyone wondering, it was a two token per person ride. One token = one dollar.

And, here is what we did most of the time. Eat. Well, the boys...err Davis anyway. It started with pretzels, then hotdogs, then cotton candy and well, if that is not enough we wash it down with some icees. Man, are we good parents or what?! Surely these fit into some group on the food pyramid.

The only "food" I got was a bottle of water--for $4.25 a bottle. SERIOUSLY! I just bought a 24 pack at Target this morning for $3.99. 24 of them cost me less than one there? Or, you can have two children ride a carosel for less than a bottle of water. Hmm..intersting. The only other item to note is if you plan to nurse your child there--don't, bring a bottle. There is no where to sit that is not in the sun unless you go to first aid. I suppose that might be the perk of going there as it is air conditioned...and good to know BEFORE you sit on the ground to nurse your baby. That said, the remodeled stadium is very nice and I am sure we will be back! Who wants to go with us???

Go Blue Ice Cubes! Or, whatever your name is...

Let's see, are we here to play soccer or to put grass down Emily Grace's shirt...hmm...I think I am gonna have to keep a closer eye on this one, he has the makings of a player, and no I am not talking about his soccer abilities.



And, this next photo...well just take a look at who is going which direction and where the ball is. It is like herding cats people, yet somehow funnier. So cute.




Davis did score a few goals, for each side so no one can say he is not a team player! Carson was starving from not eating all day (shocker since my kid hates food) and once he had a few snacks he was ready to go, ran out there and kicked the ball and then *bonk* he got ran over by a bigger kid (you know, the kids that actually eat food) and he cried and cried. We have another game on Thursday night. We shall see what comes of that one...

Oh how they love swim lessons...

Here is everyone on Monday at swim lessons and next Monday is our last lesson of the year. We are going to take the summer off and likely find a new instructor in the Fall. Our instructor is frequently referred to as "the swim nazi" around town. People know of this woman and her abilities to teach kids to swim, not for her warm loving persona. Now that my kids like the water and Davis has learned some basic skills I think it is time for a more encouraging approach....of course Keith and I are not on the same page on this either, but I think the "nazi" is mean and I hate to go to swim lessons. So, yahoo for one more lesson! And, from the look on Harper's face I think she is over this year's lessons too. She says less swimming and more sleep please.

Green Eggs & Ham

Thank goodness for green food coloring! Not sure how else I would have made it through the morning feeding festival at our house. I hope when Davis grows up he remembers all that I do to cater to his wacky whims. And really, how could you say no to that cute face?!

Everyone Loves Miss Elizabeth!

We had a great visit from a wonderful friend this past week. Ms. Elizabeth came to stay with us to help out with the chaos that three small children can create and to have some fun too. She headed back to Texas last night and we miss her already! Come back soon!
