OK so I really have to get my momma butt in gear. I am the worst at bringing my camera to outings. However, Tuesday night we went to our 1st ever St. Paul Saints game. I really truly wish I could report that we had a blast and will be going back in the near future but that's not how the night went. We got a good deal on the tickets so why not try but with 4 kids 2 adults that was probably not wise on our part. The game started at 7:05 so there was mistake #1 because Owen usually gets dinner and bed around 7:30. So Joe and I spent the 1st 2 innings trying to get him to sleep with all the commotion around us. HA! Then I am listening to this family behind us talk about their pop being set on the floor because if it spills it will just go down the bleacher to the ground.......WELL it didn't - someone kicked it over and it ended up all over Isaac, Avril's and my feet. I knew that was gonna happen but, I am not the type to notify people of their ignorance. I was just thankful that it wasn't my kids to spill their pop this time. And they should make a rule that once your in your seat you stay there because we were smart and got isle seats due to having the kids but the people on the inside got up probably about 10 times. Well at the bottom of the 5th inning Owen spit his nuk out and it landed below the bleachers so Joe called it a night for them and headed out to the van. We were going to stay for a couple more innings but only made it to the top of the 5th. So that was our experience and we wish for better luck next time. As you can see it was just a all around bad combination of events.

Big Boy Owen
Well Owen and I were sitting in his room after his nap today playing and oh my gosh he sat there all by himself. (Yes I sat him up right but, he stayed on his own) 1 1/2 months ago he started rolling over, last month he got his 1st 2 teeth and now he's sitting up. I am starting to see why we have 4 children. Life just goes by soooooo fast. However, that doesn't mean we will be having anymore.

The end of July

Last week we went to the Holiday Inn water park thanks to some anonymous free tickets, which for our family is a huge deal. That would have otherwise been a $100 trip. The kids had a blast and we even got Isaac down the water slide 3 times. He is not big on the thrill rides but, he did it after much pressure. Avril made friends with any other child that got within 3 feet of her and even Owen had fun kicking his legs in the water. We also had a free dinner at the new Sonic which I must say had the best fast food ever.
Last but not least we said our "goodbyes" to grandma last night. She has been here for 3 1/2 months and is going back to Arkansas. I think she has had her stuff packed for a week. It's not that she doesn't like being here she is just tired with all the excitement all the time. She celebrated her 75th birthday this June but as you can see she still thinks she's 5. Love you Grandma!!!
