It's Tribe Time Now!

Today is the day I've been waiting for since last October.  Baseball is back! More importantly Tribe baseball is back!  This day is like having another birthday during the year and it marks the 6th year in a row that Paul and I have attended the home opener.

This year we were without Kelly and Greg aka Hulk. :(  The Super Six became the Fab Four. Still, a good time was had by all!

I can hardly contain myself.

We assumed the traditional position in Centerfield by the bar.  It was a nice day until the sun went away and then it got a bit chilly.  Had we finished the game off in the 9th like we should have we would not have encountered the cold but alas we couldn't close it out and headed to extra innings.  Extra innings in which we of course lost. :(  I'll be honest, I wanted to stay but we were so damn cold and my cousin Allison was waiting for us across the street, so we left around the 14th.

A little out of place in this post, but here is the view from our hotel room! We headed back here after a nice dinner and drinks at Great Lakes with Allison.

The kids spent the night at my parents and as you can guess they always get in the opening day spirit as well! I'm raising little baseball lovers. It's a toss up in the house between Slider and Brutus.

Go Tribe!  2012 is our year!  If not, there's always next year!

State Wrestling: 2012 Edition

Every year my family and many others descend on Columbus for the annual State Wrestling Tournament.  I know most of you are thinking right now that we are indeed crazy for taking three small children to a three day event like this. Normally I would say you were right but they were the most well behaved children I'd ever seen that weekend.  I couldn't even believe they were mine! This year we were missing the Richmond family but we managed without them.

This rules. Thumbs up Mom and Dad!

People ask me why she won't come out of her shell and I just don't know what to tell them.. ;)

We're doing this again people?

Check it out RG2 in the left hand corner of the big screen.  We tried to call him forever to get him to turn around and wave but he wouldn't pick up. Post hot dog #2 perhaps?*

Saturday: Everyone sporting some Buckeye Love!

..and then there were nine...

The lovebirds, refusing to admit either of them are wrong.

No visit is complete without visiting Brutus.  Morgan visited him about 8 times that weekend.

Someone enjoyed her first Buckeye experience.

Waiting for "the show" (as she called it) to begin

*So my dad gets a media pass every year to take pictures. They also have a media room where they serve food.  The following conversation happened in the car on the way back to the hotel.

RG2: I had a hot dog in the media room, got halfway through and went back to have another.

(lots of conversation in between)

K: Wait, you got halfway through your hotdog and it was so good you went back for another before you finished?

RG2: No, I meant halfway through the wrestling session.

You tell me what you would think after he said the first sentence?

6/13/11: Comfortable Surroundings

She doesn't take long to make herself right back at home, does she? You'll also be glad to see Ducky and Brutus survived the great barf of 2011.
