Round Rock Express baseball games are fun! Chris and I have always thought so and so we begin the tradition of taking Little Man to the games. This was his second trip to the Express and last time he did not have that fun of a time sitting in the seats, so this time we went all out and bought the cheapest seats on the berm. (grass)

We started the evening eating up some delicious sandwiches and fries and watched kids throw fast balls, jump on moon walks and play basketball! I think that Little Man is anxious to get out there and play with the big kids...it will happen sooner than we think!We then found some front row seats on the berm (nice) and Thayer liked watching the players warm up. Little Man liked this time at the game more that the past and I think it is because he was able to crawl and sit on the families above us blanket. He enjoyed rolling down the hill, playing with the children and eating grass. Lovely. The Express games are definitely FUN and we will go back to the grass! Maybe next time Auntie Julia and Kelly can come too! I know how much Julia enjoys a nice Express Game! Maybe next time it will not be 105 degrees at 7:00 PM! Wishful thinking indeed!

COUTNDOWN TO GRANDPA - ONE DAY! HAHZAA!

The new desk and chair. I think that Thayer likes his new digs in his room - see him in the pictures below working up an excel spreadsheet for his mommy and daddy!

His next action item is a PowerPoint presentation on what he wants for xmas from Santa!

Is it really possible that Thayer is getting more and more cute everyday? This weekend we played hard! His new favorite games are chasing a golf ball along the kitchen floor after he throws it and also sitting and knocking pool balls in on the pool table!

I think that he is also learning the word "no" b/c he keeps telling it to me when I tell him to get off the back of the couch! Oh dear lord, please do not let his first word be "no"....

He popped out that toofie #7 this weekend and chewed on everything he could to get it out - even Mommies old soda bottles! Not any fussing about it...that is our BIG BOY!

Count down to GRANDPA - 2 days!

I love feeling useful in the evening other than just a load of laundry or making dinner. As you know, I put together his toy box 2 nights ago and last night, I put together one of his little chairs that we bought him! He seemed to enjoy it and sat watching the Family Guy (he loves the singing and bright colors!) like a big boy for about 15 minutes!

Hahzaa! Thayer is 11 months old today! Hahzaa!

It is a sad day, but this evening I am putting away Thayer's changing table and replacing it with a toy box that I put together last night. We probably have not used the table in about 2 months - ever since his legs have hung over the side - and it is time that we used the space for other things. I think that I will move the table into his closet so that we can have some extra storage. Another sad part is that the table's shelves are full of little cute baby things that he does not use - reminding me ever so much of how fast he is growing!

On another note, tooth #7 is showing just under the gum and that little sucker is gonna pop any down now - followed by #8! He is going to be eating ribs with us any day now!

ONE WEEK UNTIL WE SEE GRANDPA!!!! I think that Thayer will enjoy the cool weather in Enumclaw and the horses! Now, I just need to find Thayer some long pants as he does not wear his in this 105 degree heat!

Thayer's first Father's Day was a real special one. We woke up Daddy around 9:00 and the fun begun. Mainly the day was spent relaxing on the sofa and watching the US Open, but we went to eat lunch at Pluckers (yummy wings) and I made dinner at night (Julia's meatloaf - delish). I think that the best part of the day was wing we all played with or golf clubs in the game room. Little man even smacked his ball around the room in excellent style. Chris and I imagine that this photo will be shown as he is winning the Open, Masters - or other major golfing event!

I know. I know. I took a little break. Opps! but I am back now - sorry about that to all my readers, but life has been a bit foggy. I promise to get some photos of little man posted as soon as I load them into the computer! Thayer is almost 11 months old and is excited for his cousin Bauer that should be here soon!

Hugs to everyone!
