Baseball and Baby Love

I like baseball. It's Ok. I tolerate it. Truthfully? After the first inning I'm bored. I know...how un-American is THAT? There is one way to truly make the game so much more enjoyable and pass by all too quickly. Bring along some babies!

Our friends, who welcomed twins into their family in June, invited us and some other friends to go to the Isotopes baseball game last week. Never had so much fun at a baseball game!! Between 3 families, there were 6 adults and 15 children in attendance! Hah! Talk about a rowdy crowd. And talk about happiness......babies to love on!! This is Catalena holding Ronan and then Claire.

This is Autumn...AKA mom to Ronan and Claire. She has 3 other children ages 6, 4 and 2. Super sweet person, great mom, and fun friend!! She moved out of town when she was 20 some odd weeks pregnant with the twins, thinking it was a somewhat permanent move, only to end up moving back here in July! So glad she did!!

Of course, Bill and I fell right in line to love on Ronan and Claire...it felt so nice to hold a baby again!
It was like it took us back 4 years...I really like this picture of Bill......
My friend Jill got in on some holding too. We have known her and her fun family since G and J were in preschool with her oldest daughter. She has a 5th grader, a 3rd grader, a 1st grader and a nearly 3 year old.
Meanwhile, I think the kids completely forgot about the game after the first inning too! Here Luke, Laurel and Lauren are *sharing* the beanbag, but only for the 5 seconds it took to take the picture. Then it was back to business as usual, shoving each other off.
The team mascot stopped by to see the kids. At the moment I can't remember its name....whoozit...whatzit.....ummmm......G just informed me it's Orbit....there ya go.We had a really nice time and I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and have such awesome families that we ALL like to hang out with. It doesn't get much better than that. We love all our friends that enrich our lives on a daily basis!!oh yeah, those kids are pretty cute too......
