Baseball Game and Randoms

Okay, random stuff first. Daisy normally doesn't take a nap anymore but it seems we have been going non-stop lately and she finally crashed on the couch. She is the craziest sleeper I have ever known besides my husband.

I refer to my children as my ducklings. They follow me everywhere. All the time. Its not that I don't love having them around but sometimes a little privacy would be nice :) At this particular moment, I was making dinner and they all followed me into the kitchen and entertained themselves right by my feet.





I love this boy. He is always very entertaining.

Oh yes, my model. I have taught her well and we enjoy some photo shoots every once in a while. As soon as she sees the camera, her hands are on her hips and she turns perfectly!
Then her hands go behind her back and she tries to have a serious face...

A fellow firefighter on Skylar's crew gave him 7 season tickets to the D-backs game and a parking pass! We decided to take the kids and invite my 3 younger brothers but only 1 of them could make it, so he invited a lady friend (yay!) and a guy friend. We all had a great time! The kids loved the atmosphere and Maylee did pretty well. I felt like I needed to boil her hands and cheeks because those vendors that sell beer and cotton candy kept stopping and talking to Maylee and TOUCHING her! It bothered me but she got a kick out of their gold teeth and other interesting facial features. She really liked the guy with the cotton candy hanging from the stick as she would almost jump out of my arms whenever he walked by. A few of them thought she was 3 or 4 months old and thought it was amazing how well she held herself up. One even thought I was her babysitter and after I told him I had 2 more kids, he became creepy. It was a fun night. We had awesome seats, right behind/next to 1st base so there were several very close fly balls.




The kids became a little restless at one point so we took pictures of our silly faces...



We had just finished eating some gushers which turned our tongues blue...








Maylee eventually fell asleep and was in Skylar's arms when we took this picture.


Although the D-backs lost, we had a great time! The game only lasted 2 1/2 hours but there were post-game fireworks which were awesome.

fun pictures! Melanie follows me everywhere too. If i'm in the kitchen she is either on the bench "helping me" or at my feet "mixing" somthing. Isn't being mom great. I love the baseball funny face pictures. I was waiting for one with Skylar with his tongue out. but no luck. What's up with that?!?
