Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Today the family went to a Twins game with the Hubs’s uncle Dan. Of course I was nervous because it was Mads’s first game and taking a baby to anything for the first time is scary. We thought it would be best to go to an afternoon game and this one was at noon. The only thing that we didn’t take into account was that it would smack dab in the middle of nap (usually rest) time. However, everything went well. Whew!

Mady had fun. She spent most of the game beating up Jordan which just happens to be HER favorite past-time. Jordan enjoyed his popcorn and the game. He was really getting into the game, especially stomping and clapping to “We Will Rock You” and the wave. The Twins lost 5 to 4. They gave it the old college try but it didn’t work out. We did discover that the Guthrie has cheap parking ($8) for Twins game. That was great! I even got quite the workout trying to find a place to nurse Mads. We ended up doing it in an office which was strange but it worked. However, anywhere would have worked after walking all over the Dome trying to find the family restroom (it doesn’t exist).

Overall, we had fun. Both kids went out without a fight. I am beat down and exhausted, but it was worth it!

Wordless Wednesday (Jordan Driving the Train)


Lookin' Spiffy

I would love to thank my wonderful, awesome, amazing husband for creating my banner for me. He is so talented! Feel free to check out his blog, the one and only official Matt Gockowski blog at http://thelimestonecowboy.blogspot.com which will feature some of his creations along with various photographs. Here's another plug for the Hubs: he also does comission artwork for those seeking drawings, etc of loved ones. I have some awesome ones for Mother's Day gifts.
