Take me out to the Ball Game...

For those of you who didn't know... I happen to be an avid Cardinals fan. Like I LOVE baseball. Thankfully so far 2 out of my 3 small people also love the game! We got to go on Monday to the ball game thanks to Leanna's good friend Cadence being a girl scout! It was so much fun and the kids were awesome. I love that they watch the game and cheer and clap and ask all the right questions. Hudson and I were talking about how maybe Freese would hit a homerun like he did in the World Series... for a five year old I think that is a pretty fabulous baseball conversation! We had a great time with friends. It was a great night at the ball field and even though we lost me and the small people cheered and clapped like we were in the Championship game :) It was a great time!

1st Grade Christmas Party

This is Leanna and her friend Lindsey at their Christmas Party! Isn't this a fun picture to start this off with :)



Here are the kids sitting in a circle playing hot potato with their Secret Santa Exchange gifts. It was a great idea and everyone had a fun time getting a special present.


This is Leanna with her special gift. It was full of princess awesomeness! What more could a little girl want. Not to mention it was full of crafty coloring fabulousness? Leanna's favorite!


A great time was had by all and I am so thankful that I just get to be there and be a part of her time in class. I am also glad that she wants her momma there...that is probably the best feeling of all.

Fun at the City Museum!

Part of the small people's Christmas present this year from Josh's Uncle Jim was a trip to the City Museum.

My kids had been once before for a birthday party. They only got to see one room though. As it was crowded and crazy and just wasn't safe to try and see anymore with that many children. The birthday boy's mom said we were going to stay in the one area.

So it was hilarious when we went this time and we didn't even visit that room until the end, Leanna came up to us and said "Mommy this place is like magic... it just keeps getting bigger and bigger".

It really is a fun time! A little pricey but worth every penny!

Some pictures of our fun day...

Mommy was smiling through her gritted teeth here. This was a tunnel over in the air climber thingy. It was pretty closed in. I am not afraid of heights... however closed in spaces??? Make me verrrryyy nervous!

Daddy was such a trooper and carried Nolan for over two hours! Nolan was such a good sport that day... he had another ear infection and just wasn't feeling great but he had a blast!

They had a free art corner with clay (which I have stories of for another post!) and painting and mask making and it was so awesome and fun! This is Hudson's masterpiece!

HI MOM!!!

A picture down from the tunnel!


All in all it was such a fun day. My kids absolutely loved it. There is a kids circus there and we watched it. We played on skateboard ramps. We made things out of clay. We climbed and ran and slid. To our hearts content. That was just the inside too! All of the outside stuff was closed due to ice. Really an awesome time! The kids are saving money to go again!
