Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Take me Out to the Crowds

Buy Me Some Peanuts and Crackers Jacks
I don't care if I never go back...
This last Saturday my kids enjoyed their first major league baseball game with the Los Angels Angels of Anaheim (yes it used to just be the Anaheim Angels which sounds a lot better I think)

We went for Eric's work party and were gifted with shirts, hats and unlimited food.  My kind of ball game.  The Angels did lose but our team hit two home-runs so we got to see the fireworks go off twice; much to Ryder's dismay, he's not yet a fan.

In other random news, we have survived our first week of school.  Actually the first week was great- this week with homework beginning and yea- I am starting to remember why I dislike school.   Plus soccer starts today.  Lucas has practice on Tuesday and Thursdays and Alex on Wednesdays and Fridays- both right during the dinner hour and both of their 45 minute practices take about 15 minute to get to- so no dropping off and coming back.  Um yea- we will see how we survive this one.

So yes, all of those of you who are still posting summer time fun pictures while I am fighting Lucas about homework, I am very jealous.

Oh and speaking of Lucas

see these feet-
that would be my feet and my 7-year-old son's feet!  Oy-vey!  This mama is going to be passed up before I know it.

Getting my random on with  IA and Shawn's Talk to Us Tuesday and Stacy Uncorked's Random Tuesday  (and I am behind on getting to everyone's blogs-caught up in a good book- but will be catching up this week)

  2. What a fun night! I am a little jealous and i don't even like baseball!
    Holy smokes those are some big feet! He may have his daddy's height. Good luck keeping him clothed with how fast i bet he will grow. :)

  3. You must have tiny feet though! And you know, I sang that song along with your words. lol

  4. What size shoes does he wear? Buddy has VERY small feet, which matches his small body. I think we determined he's in a 12.5 right now.

    Looks like everyone had fun at the game! We took Buster to his first game when he was about Ryder's age and we ended up walking the concourse with him most of the game. He would not sit still.

  5. What a fun time at the ball park. I haven't been to a major league game yet. Hubby did buy me tickets 4yrs ago but I was pregnant with Allison and morning sickness was killing me.

  7. I'm not much of a baseball fan but I do love going to games for all the other stuff!

  8. Fun stuff! Except the homework part. I'm lucky that Ethan likes homework. He always loved workbooks, so I'm hoping his love for it doesn't fade. I can only imagine how that is not so much fun . . . and the feet pic! Wow, you really will get passed up fast. :)

  9. I'm glad you guys had so much fun!!! Work outings are always great b/c everything is free! :o) I went to my first MLB game less than 2 years ago. Before that, we'd only gone to see teams in the minor leagues play.

    Congrats on a successful first week of school. I'm sure you'll find a way to adapt to the new sports schedule. But there will probably be a few frozen pizza nights in the meantime!

  11. Yay for baseball!!!! We saw several games on our vacation and we loved it. School starts for us in a couple of weeks and I will be feeling exactly like you are now. I'm already dreading it.

  15. Ugh, the homework...that's why I hate school so much too. Glad their first week went well. Sounds like you guys will be very busy with soccer!! That's how we were with baseball this summer.
    P.S. The baseball outing looks awesome!!

  16. Oh how FUN! The ballgame, not the homework. ;) Loved all the pictures - looks like you all had such a blast!

    You must have tiny feet! I'll have to measure Princess Nagger's against mine just for grins. ;)

    Sorry you're already ensconced in homework and soccer practices. I have one more week reprieve before that mess starts. ;)

  17. at first I was simply jealous that you made it to the ball park this summer and I know I will not catch it this go round, BUT THEN I SAW RYDER and I was jealous and a bit misty eyed as I have a warm fuzzy memory of taking Bear to Fenway when he was just about that age!! Alright, since you had such a fun family time I won't be jealous anymore ;)

  18. Love going to baseball games! The picture of the feet is hilarious! Of course when I put my feet with my husband's it's also pretty funny. I'm sure you have the same thing! My size 6 and his size 12's are quite different.

  19. Ball games are so much fun. The food all the more heightens the entire experience, doesn't it?

    Now, I'm not quite sure if Lucas simply has big feet, or you have tiny feet :)

  20. Don't feel bad girlie, we are back to school in full force too. I already miss summer! Anika's cheer practices have started already & football season will be here before I know it. Geeze, no idea how I'll do it all.

  21. I like the "I don't care if I never go back" part!

    Looks like a fun night though. We too have started soccer - and it is already crazy! School starts in 1 week, and I am ready!

    I've missed reading your blog, and hope to get back to regular reading! I know you posted about our fun night and I am anxious to go back and read what you wrote!

  22. We are taking JDaniel to his first game next week. It looks like your family had a great time.

  23. When I was pregnant with Ryan, the quartet would sing the anthem for the minor league team and we would get seats, food, and drinks. It was the one time I ate three hotdogs of my own free will. Haha.

  24. Startling how big those feet are on that boy! You guys all looked so cute. I wish I could go to the soccer games.
