Bees Game

This year we went in on some Bees season tickets and the first game happened to be on my birthday! It was perfect weather and we even ran into some friends and got to enjoy the fireworks.

My favorite player LOL

Our trip to Vegas

Ryan's dream car is a corvette. Just for fun we rented one for a few days. Here's the proof:

Ryan wanted me to video the convertible top

Most of the trip was spent watching baseball (the reason we went) but one night we did venture out on the town.

Bellagio

(you'll notice all the pictures with me in them are blurry. For some reason Ryan can't shoot a clear picture.)

This was Ryan's first time in Vegas and he loved watching the water show.

The gardens inside

Caesar's Palace

I was looking forward to nice warm weather, but it was really windy and cold the first two days.
My time spent watching the boys play was a little uncomfortable because I wasn't prepared, but they did a great job in all of their games. Ryan loves coaching and does a great job.We're very greatful we were able to go and enjoy a vacation.

One night we went to a CSN vs SLCC game

It was freezing!

I was expecting only a 7 inning game, but it went 9 innings. Yikes.

It was a special game and there were tons of scouts there.

I tried to take a picture, but it doesn't do justice.

Right before the pitcher would throw about 20 scouts sitting in the audience would all put their guns up and record the speed. It was very entertaining and I've never seen anything like it.

In this picture you can see 4 guns. That guy sitting next to me was from the Cincinatti Reds, his wife was reading. LOL. Oh to be the wife of a MLB scout, I'm sure.

There is a catcher on CSN that is 17 years old-Bryce Harper. He left High School at 16 and came to play baseball at CSN. He was on the June 8th cover of Sports Illustrated as "Baseball's Chosen One." He is projected to be the top pick in the draft in June. No wonder there were so many scouts there.

 

Here he is up to bat. He ended up striking out and was so mad he hit his bat so hard on the ground that it broke. It was kinda funny.
Overall the trip was a nice break. Ryan wasn't very impressed and we probably won't go back to Vegas for any pleasure vacations soon.

An occasion for celebration

Last week we went up to the Everett's to celebrate birthdays!

You may remember The new new one. Well, they added another addition to their animal family! He, who has yet to be named, is so cute. He's got droopy eyes and big paws and, well, see for yourself!

He's so little compared to Trigger.

Him and the kitty get along just fine

We had a little photo shoot

(he's a little cross-eyed)

Ok, so we're no pros, but we're getting good at celebrating birthdays!

Happy birthday Debbie and Janessa!

Also, my sweet nephew "G" turned 1

16 shirts for under $50

Would you believe me if I told you I got all of these for less than $50.00?

(cat not included)

It's true. Now if I can just find the space in my closet for them.

Wish I had this closet all to myself..

My dad is leading Ryan to his death

...or so he says.
For as long as I can remember my Dad has had motorcycles, so I don't know what the big deal is.

He's had a bike that's needed work, in his shop for a few years. He told Ryan he could have it if he fixed it up, so that's what he's been doing the past few weeks.

The finished product:

People keep asking me if I'm scared or OK with it. I'm fine with it! Ryan is so excited to learn to ride and I think he'll have a blast with it. I will too once it's safe for me to ride with him.
