Baseball & A Crazy Week

Yesterday was one of our most fun FHE's in a while. Dave's Brother's Wife (Anisa) won free tickets to a Bees game (minor league baseball) and we went to see half of the game. We had killer seats! The tickets said 7th row, but there were only 2 rows in front of us, and we were just to the right of home plate. We arrived about 45 minutes late, anticipating Logan wouldn't last long. Boy, were we wrong! Logan was inthralled with the ball players "throw the ball!" and loved watching the kids around him.

I snook in some dried fruit, nuts, granola bars, and water, so he had tons of fun eating like crazy, running up and down the isle (we had most of a row to ourselves), and watching the mascot walk around "BIG BEE, MOM!"

The absolute highlight of the night was Dave catching a ball to give to Logan. I don't know if Logan or I was more excited. Logan rolled it around on the ground, put it in the cup holders and kept talking about his baseball. "Logan catch the ball", "Grandma love Logan's baseball", "Logan proud baseball". He even insisted on taking it to bed with him last night.

We were planning on going out to ice cream after, but Logan had so much fun, we had to tear him away around 9:30 to get him to bed. Walking back to the car, Logan didn't even ask to walk by himself. He just laid his head on Dave's shoulder and snuggled with his ball.

Prior to that, it was a crazy week! Dave got the stomach flu (or food poisoning) and missed work while recovering. Day one went well, but day two I had Max (daycare), Logan and Dave was feeling a little better so was really needy. I didn't sit down all day getting toys, food, movies, and stuff for the three of them! Over the weekend he was feeling better, so we drove up the canyon to Solitude and hiked around the lake. Logan hiked the whole thing by him self, tripling the time of our hike, but he had so much fun.

Logan was fascinated with the bees, dragon flies, ducks, and water on the hike. He prayed for all of the above that night, and just loved being out in nature. I just loved that it was 20 degrees cooler up the canyon. It's been way too hot here this summer.

Max's mom quit her job this week, so she let me know this Friday will be the last day we watch Max. Logan will be devastated not to have his best friend 3 days a week, but it will be nice to have a little more time on our hands. I'm thinking about starting to do a play date with one of Logan's friends once a week. Not necessarily the same friend every week, but something once a week.

Sunday I finally got released from Nursery! I'm so glad, it was not my favorite calling. The kids were great, but the other leaders that were supposed to help out had a hard time remembering to show up. I've accepted another calling, but haven't been called yet. I'm super excited for this one, so hopefully it ends up going well when the time comes.
