Fall Ball

 It most definitely does not feel like Fall outside, but the boys have officially had their first games of the season.  Little Guy is on a new team this season, and he's really loving it.  His new uniform isn't in yet, so we had to quickly get him a red shirt for the game. He was disappointed in his performance at pitching, but he had a great play at short stop and got a run after being walked.  BB's back on the Rizzly Bears, and they had a great first win.  

I hope the boys will always remember how much time their dad spends with them working on catching, pitching, and hitting.  He's out there almost every night trying to help them improve their skills.  

Luna seems to be a fan as well.

Friends

 Little Man spent the day at Worlds of Fun celebrating Hudson's birthday.  

Lemonade out of Lemons

 My friend really wanted to see Kelly Clarkson perform in Las Vegas, so I said we'd make it happen.  We bought tickets, and then we found out it was cancelled 24 hours before we were scheduled to fly out.  After deliberating back and forth we decided to just go and enjoy ourselves.  I didn't want her sitting at home depressed.  I'm so glad we did go, because it was a blast.  We started out our day on a walking food tour along the strip.  We went to celebrity restaurants.  We had a fun group - the rest of the ladies were headed to the Backstreet Boys concert.

1st stop: Gordon Ramsey's elevated pub food.  Short rub tacos using kettle chips, and pigs in a blanket in puffed pastry.  

2nd stop: Pronto by Giada

It was a nutella sorbet with nutella chunks.

3rd stop: Guy Fieri's Vegas: We had some amazing Korean tacos

4th stop: Buddy's Ristorante (Cake Boss)- We had a homemade meatball and eggplant Parmesan with foccacia bread.  All of it was really good.

Our final stop was to get a macron in the Venetian.  I went with lemon.  It was a good macaron, but I'm not a huge macaron person.  

Melissa and I got last minute tickets to see the Michael Jackson One Cirque duh Soleil.  I'm always amazed at people's talents. We walked pretty much the entirety of the strip to go see it.  We definitely saw a lot of crazy things.

We had so much fun, and we'll be back next Summer.  Kelly's already scheduled a new concert date, so we have something to look forward to next year. 

Senior Pics

 When we were in Oklahoma Little Man got his senior pictures done.  Robyn learned quickly that Little Man has a great serious GQ look.  I'm so glad they turned out so well.  

Last Days of Summer

We spent a few days at Beaver lake in Arkansas with our friends before school starts next week.  It's always a lovely time.  Highlights included jet skiing and cliff jumping for the Littles.  I just love the peace and calm of the lake.
