Cardinals Game with Matt & Mike

Tuesday 4/5/2011, I took Matt and Mike to their 1st Cardinals game of the season. Since my school will be singing the National Anthem this coming August they offered us free tickets for Monday and Tuesday night. I took Tuesday night because I knew family would be there with season tickets. I bought the boys new CaRDinaL shirts for the game. When I picked them up from daycare they were so to have new shirts and to be going to the game. Lisa came over around 6:30 to babysit Danny and Chris til Kelly was able to get there.

When we got to the game the boys were so amazed. They were so good and had so much fun. They played a lot with Uncle Ken watching him throw peanuts up in the air and catch them in his mouth. It was the coolest thing to them. They even started to help Uncle Ken crack open the shell to get the peanut out first. They are really smart. When we noticed what they were doing it was a little to late, Ken had already eaten a few. They would both set the peanut on the ground, step on it a little until it cracked and then they would pick it up and give Ken the peanut that was inside.

He had to catch that one with his hand

Eating and Playing at the game

We only had to use the restroom 3 times during the game, NOT to bad....but the third time we went was right when we got back from the second time. Matt had to go poop...Really he couldn't tell me that when we were in there. Of course he didn't go. We won the game 3-2 and watched the fireworks at the end. Matt and Mike liked them this year. Last year they were really scared.

We did get their kids crew card stamped and they received their Ryan Franklin duffle bag, wrist bands, lanyard, bobble head tooth brush holder and other things. Matt loved the wrist bands especially when Uncle Ken put some change in the zipper pouch for him. It was a great time, I am so glad it is CaRdiNaL season again.

Me and My big boys enjoying the cardinal game. Micheal was being silly! (his favorite word)

Matt calling Grandma

Every morning the first thing that comes out of boys mouths is, "Where's Grandma, Grandma's keys." Mike is usually the one that wants the keys but they all ask for her. So Matt wanted to call her yesteday. I think they see her as much as they see me. It is really cute. Enjoy the video

Niagara Falls, Canada

I took a trip with some family members to see Pearl Heart in Canada. We left early Saturday morning 3/5/2011 and arrived around 3 p.m. We got to the Hilton around 5 and started to get ready for Jeffrey Steele. We at dinner and then went to the show, it started it at 9 and the first time at 11:30 p.m. Then he had a 30 min encore!!!!! We we all really tired but it ws a great show. Sunday we went to the falls and took a lot of pictures. It was beautiful and I can't wait to see it again sometime when the weather is warmer. We went to see Pearl Heart's show and it was amazing. After the show we went shopping a little and the to the pub with Pearl Heart and their friends from the band and show. After talking with them for about 2-3 hours we then invited them back to our room to play dice. It was a lot of fun, everyone was so friendly. I was really tired so I didn't play all night long like everyone else. We left on Monday and had 2 great flights home. I missed my boys a lot. I bought them all a back pack from Canada. I know Matt really likes his, Mike said in a whiny voice, " I don't want a back pack." Danny and Chris are still too young. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Peanut butter Jelly

I was a little jealous of Chrissy's kids eating an easy meal like peanut butter and jelly, so I made it with strawberry jelly like she does. They loved it. I decided to play the song for the boys and they loved it...Watch below..This is what we did on our first snow day of the Blizzard!

Twas the Night Before Christmas and....

Christmas Eve was a busy day. I had to finish up a few last minute gifts. I procrastinated a too much. I had Wednesday and Thursday off with no kids and I still didn't get much done besides laundry and some of my house. Since we were going to 5 o'clock mass, I had to let the boys open a present from me. It was the shirts that they were going to wear. They were all the same, but different colors.

Chris wanted to eat instead of opening his present

Danny was just excited to be on the couch without me telling him to get down

The Kempland's came over to help me get the kids ready for church. They brought over some presents for them. After church, I let the boys open the big gift. It was the hit of the night. I had to wake Matt up to open it.

Danny was saying 'cheese' for this picture

The boys also got new pajama's because they only have 1 each. I had to give a lot of them away because they were too small or the babies kept slipping. (Chris) I had them sit in front of the tree to get a picture, but it was kind of hard to get them all too look.

Yo Gabba Gabba, Yo Gabba Gabba, Yo Gabba Gabba, Yo Gabba Gabba......YOOOOOOOOOOO!


The boys are starting to watch more than just The Backyardigans.....although I hear Austin, Austin, Austin over and over, I also hear Gabba Gabba.......Chris love watching tv. He even dances with the shows. At the beginning of Gabba Gabba, dj Lance moves his arms when he is singing....
