Connor's First D-Back's Game

Last Sunday we celebrated 5 years of having Travis and it also happened to be Connor's very first Diamondback's baseball game. Those of you who know us, know that my husband is a HUGE baseball fan. We have had season tickets since the team started in 1998. We even kept them while we were in Memphis for 6 years, we just had some people buy them from us. Needless to say, in our family the first game is a big one! It was a great day and we actually stayed longer than I thought we would. Of course we never even sat in our seats! There is a place called The Sandlot that has a playground for the big kids and a place to run around for the little ones, among other things. We spent most of our time there until we went to the Peter Piper area that has all of the video games. Both boys had a fun time and were completely worn out from all the excitement. Here are a few pictures from our day. We were even lucky that Grammy and Grandpa had tickets too so they could share in our fun day.

Somebody (who won't be named) was not in the mood for picture taking here so that is why he is missing!

Lately we have noticed that Connor likes to put things on his head and walk around the house. He is such a little character.


Overall, the first week back to work, school and the sitter's went well. Connor did super at our babysitter's house. I knew he would be fine. He is in good hands plus he is pretty easy going in general. I had a lot of "stuff" to deal with at school but hopefully I am on track now with my new group and on Monday we will start off on the right foot. It only took two other teachers and myself to figure out a schedule for my three resourse/speech kiddos. That was getting stressful to say the least! I seem to have a pretty nice little class, so that is a plus for this year!

Travis is the one having the hardest time "adjusting" but we are hopeful that with each new day he will continue to do better and better. Gosh it's hard being 6 and having to share.... especially when you have to share your mom! This morning he got to make "a craft" and I told him I would put his picture here. He made a cute little bookmark he found online. He really can be so cute and sweet!

You guys are so festive. I think I wore red once to a D-Back's game and it wasn't anything with their logo on it. What a happy little D-Back's family. :)

The pictures are great, Lisa. It looks like you all had fun. Did anyone watch the game?

Grammy said...

Yes, we had a ton of fun and yes, Grandpa and I watched some of the game. When you are the grandpa and your back starts hurting from standing, then you get to go to the seats and sit and watch the game. Eventually Grammy arrives to keep him company. :)
