White Caps Game












Well, it's official. Blogger has succeeded at ROYALLY ticking me off. I actually feel like cursing a bit, but I won't. I have tried in vain many a time to get this to post with absolutely no success. We actually went to the game on Wed. night- it is now Sunday morning. Anyone sensing my frustration. That aside, we had a great time. There is really nothing quite like walking into the stadium and smelling fresh cut grass, singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame", and eating too much fried food and cotton candy. We had great lawn seats right next to the kids playland which was convenient to say the least. Jason, Elijah and my dad REALLY got into the game while the rest of us just had fun taking pictures, eating, and playing with the free basketballs they gave the kids as we walked through the front gate. It was an evening of unforgettable memories and something I hope we continue as an annual summer tradition!
Onto a quick update of my first week as a working mom. What a trip. I loved every minute of it, truly. The school is pretty rough (hence the 10 min. speech on gang policies in the first assembly) and the junior high class is really something-and that's being complimentary. It's amazing how fun it is though to be back into a routine and making music again. I'm having the time of my life! The kids didn't even know I'd been gone the first day... I said to Emmy, "Did you miss Mommy?", and she says,"You were gone???". I guess that's good? Pray for us though as they start school this week and getting out of the house is gonna get much more hairy!
We also had an AMAZING weekend, which I will have to save for a later post.... if Blogger cooperates!!

Your kids are so cute! Looks like fun! Blogger has been giving me grief too, a few posts ago, it said it had an error and then it posted it like 10 times, after deleting only nine, I checked it and the whole post was gone...ahhhhhh!

Holly- we too enjoy baseball games! Great memories. We've been to several this summer too. Its a great place to take kids, even if all they do is eat junk food and watch everything but the actual game! ;)

Yeah, blogger liked me today too! I was getting frustrated too.

Thanks for the update on your first week. I was curious to how it was going. I am glad you are enjoying it. Be careful though--the gangs better stay away from you!

Looks like a fun time was had by all!!! I too have problems w/blogger when uploading pictures. It took me like 4 attempts to get Asher's 6mo picture post done...GRRR...LOL

The baseball games look like so much fun. We'll have to hit a couple when we get back to the states.
I'm glad you like the job. My sister, Micah, is a music teacher and she loves the job too, but it can be quite stressful at times for her. I hope it continues to go well for you.
Maybe I'll wait a few days before putting up another post since you've all had so much trouble!?!

Baseball games and kids are a great combination. I know I wouldn't go to any if it weren't for mine. :-) Great pictures! I am glad that blogger finally cooperated.

Looks like a blast. Thanks for sharing some moments with you family. Tell Jay and the kids Uncle John says hey and we love them! Talk to you soon!

Oh my goodness Holly. This is killing me. Seriously need to come up soon before Zeke is saying, "Auntie Kelley, who?" Great pics! I'm glad you had a good first week. Sounds like you're gonna love it. BTW- Did you get my e-mail about scheduling a visit? If not, check your e-mail. I really need a kid fix soon. :) Did you happen to take any pics when mom, dad, Andrea and Jon were there? I'd love to see them if you did. Well, I'm getting ready to post. Hope blogger doesn't frustrate me too. ;) Love ya!

We went to a Kings game this past Tuesday night...it was fun, but it started to really rain, so we left early...my cousin Matt used to be the Whitecaps mascot! I had the privilege of leading him around once! It was hilarious! Sounds like fun! Sorry we didn't connect last weekend, it got crazy and I honestly forgot to give you a call...sorry! Love you!

Dan & Angie said...

Holly,

Great pictures! Would you believe we've never been to a White Caps game? Sounds (and looks) like you guys had a blast ... the kids are growing SO fast.

BTW, we'll join the blogger frustration club. :-) Oh well - the price we pay to stay connected, I guess!

Hey there! I navigated my way to your blog tonight... this is just too fun. I didn't read far enough to figure out your job, though. What are you doing?
