Yum Oatmeal!

We attempted oatmeal cereal with Blake the other day. He did a lot better than I thought he was going to, but he gets mad waiting inbetween bites.

He loved the taste though and was trying to suck it from the spoon before I could get it to his mouth!

A Day at the Park

We had such beautiful weather last week that the boys, Mom and I decided to take a picnic supper to the park one night.

It was so great to burn some energy and enjoy the night!

Blake tried a little peach juice on his tongue and didn't think it was too bad!

Friends from Des Moines

On July 29th Kristin and Kate made it over for a play date! We stopped at a playground after lunch to play.

Kristin was a good sport considering she is more than 7 months pregnant out in the heat!

Brady took this same picture with "Baby" when Kristin was pregnant with Kate. Blake needed one too with "Baby Andrew"! Two bellies!

St Louis

On July 21st, Brian and I took Brady to another Philadelphia Phillies game in St Louis. Having already done Milwaukee, Brady was ready and in the car while I was showering. He was so excited!


Well, we made it to St Louis and showed up for batting practice, but the weather had other plans. It poured for 2 hrs prior to the start, but luckily we still got the game in with a late start at 7:45PM.

Brady was so patient! We waited out the rain with a hot dog and a pop.

Once the game started, we had a blast! It was a lot of fun and a great view!

God bless Ryan Howard because he tossed Brady a game ball across the dugout again! We managed to collect 4 other in-play balls from different players as well! It helps when our seats were right behind the Phillies dugout with a toddler dressed to the 9's in Phillies paraphernalia. Brady kept yelling "I need a ball for Blake-ster please!" Classic!
