4th of July

We took the kids to the Peoria Chiefs baseball game on the 4th.  The plan was to go to the game and then stay and watch the downtown fireworks from the stadium.  Everyone else in Peoria seemed to have the same idea because the stadium was packed.  It is a great way to keep the kids entertained while waiting for the fireworks.  The kids had a great time.

Kayley was especially happy the entire time.

It was a great plan to watch the fireworks from the stadium except for the fact that the game went into extra innings so the fireworks started while the game was still going.  We watched the first 1/3 of the fireworks with the stadium lights in our eyes.  Bummer.  Oh well, the game eventually ended and we enjoyed the fireworks!  Ryan was a little scared though.  He had Andy hold him and at one point Andy took him into the restroom and Ryan said, "That's better."  Haha!  

Andy's dad came this past weekend for Drew's last baseball tournament.  The boys won Friday night, but the games were rained out on Saturday so for Sunday they had to switch to single elimination.  Unfortunately, the boys lost their first game on Sunday.  Drew's final games of the season are on Thursday.  He has a double header at home.  I'm sad to see the season come to an end.  With 40+ games, we have gotten to know some of the other parents pretty well and have had a lot of fun!

The only good thing about losing the first game on Sunday was that the kids got plenty of pool time Sunday afternoon.  Ryan went without a nap, but you wouldn't know it.  Well, until after he got out of the pool and came in.  Then we really noticed!

Kayley has had a big week with the tooth fairy.  She has lost 3 teeth over the course of a week! 

Ryan is having a big week too.  He FINALLY decided to try and be a big boy and wear underwear.  So far, he is doing ok.  Miss Pam will be busy tomorrow with him...
