Braves Game October 2009

Here is another picture from our recent trip to the braves game. I created this layout as another scrapbook challenge. The challenge was to create a layout that uses a photo that has been run through the colored pencil filter. Here is my layout. I really like how the photo was changed by using the filter.



This is the original picture.

Braves Baseball!

We love going to Atlanta Braves baseball games!! It is such a fun family outing. Turner Field has lots of FUN activites for the kids. I personally go for the food. I love to eat at the ballpark. There is nothing better than hot dogs, peanuts and nachos. OK, maybe ice cold beer. This was the Braves last game of the season. They were playing the Washington Nationals. We left the game after the 12th inning. It was tied 1 - 1. The game finally ended after the 15th inning with the Braves losing to the Nationals 2 - 1. Oh well, there is always next year. John is already planning on spending his birthday at the park.

Team Gator!!!

Matthew is playing t-ball for the first time this fall.  He is so excited and loving every minute.  He plays 3rd base just like his big brother.  The kids are so FUNNY to watch.  Matthew received his uniform on a Friday.  He did NOT take it off (this includes sleeping in it) until Sunday afternoon when I explained to him that it must be washed for his game.  He wears his hat everywhere we go.  It has become a part of him.  I have people stop me all the time because we are gator fans!!! Chomp Chomp :)  Too funny!!!

Fall Ball Ya'll

The fall baseball season officially started today. John is on team Mudcats and plays 3rd base. He loves to play baseball. This year, he has advanced to the under 10 division. In this division, coaches are no longer pitchers. The team now pitches. This has added a whole new dimension to the game. John does NOT want to get hit by a ball. He is very unsure each time he is at bat. The pitches can be very WILD!!! Today, they played the Padres and the game ended in a 5 all tie.

GO MUDCATS!!!!

Braves Pre Season Game vs Detoit April 4th

We decided that as a part of John's birthday weekend we would take in a Braves game. It was a beautiful day to be outdoors. It was sunny and 74. Although the Braves lost, we had a wonderful day at the ball park. We met our friends Mark, Kelly, Jack, Abby and Uncle Josh at the game. We enjoyed hot dogs, peanuts, sodas and beer.

John getting ready to run the bases. This is great area at our ball park for kids. Our kids ran the bases at least 50 times. They had so much fun.....

The kiddos...John, Matthew, Abby

Matthew prepping for the big run of the bases. You can see Jack and Abby right behind him. The man at the first base was fantastic. He was so great with the kids. He had nicknames for all of them. He called Matthew "robodog" because of his shirt. He was very kind to each child that ran the bases.

Our day at the game was a success. Everyone had a great time!!!!
