Cousins, Corn & Baseball

This morning we went over to Mom & Dad’s so Autumn & Andrew could play together. I chased them around the island in the kitchen and they were screaming and having a BLAST! Then they would run over to the couch and “hide” until I came over to tickle them. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of them!

Autumn kept laying on Andrew to “protect” him from me. It was so cute to see them interact together. Most of the time they get a long great, which is nice for them to have each other.

Autumn must be taking after me more than I thought. She took these sunglasses and wore them on her head like a headband…just like I do. She did it a few times throughout the day, which I thought was funny.

Nate found this big huge zipper spider when he was out treating someone’s home. It was dead, but he brought it home for us to see. We had a cicada shell on table so Liberty made it look like the spider was attacking the cicada. Kinda gross, but also fascinating at the same time. I think zipper spider webs are cool. Nature is so intriguing.

This red daisy was in the flowerbeds all by itself, and I thought it was so pretty. Daisies are such happy flowers.

Liz & Liberty came over to swim and we were saying how this might be one of the last weekends of the summer that we get to swim and work on our tans. The high for today was 85, so the weather is definitely starting to change…I can feel fall starting in the air. This is the way that Liz & Liberty usually spend their time in the pool…in the hot tub on floaties.

Autumn has become quite the daredevil in the water. She stands on the Shamu shelf and throws her Ariel doll into the pool and then jumps in after it. Look at her…she just takes a flying jump towards it. Hopefully she never tries that w/out he floaties on or without me sitting watching her.

When Dad got home from work, we grilled some hamburgers and corn on the cob. It was so scrumptious.

Autumn is OBSESSED with corn. This girl could eat corn all day. She ate 3 full ears of corn and then half of this one! I wonder where she gets her love of corn from…

Andrew wanted some more corn, but the ear of corn he had was HUGE, so Dad tried to break it in half. Instead, it broke off in 1/4 and 3/4. Dad gave Andrew the 1/4 piece and his face is PRICELESS! Even going back and looking at this now, I am laughing so hard b/c of his expression. LOL!

These two kids must be some of the most hugged, kissed, spoiled, loved kids ever! Dad is such a good grandpa to them. He adores them and they adore him. He was giving them “tight squeeze” hugs.

After we went swimming, Mom and Dad and Nick and I headed over to the Dr. Pepper Ballpark to watch a Frisco Rough Riders baseball game. We go to sit in a suite, and look at this awesome sign by the jumbotron!

The suite was SOOOO nice and had catered food. Look at this cookie and vegetable tray. We also had nachos, hot dogs, chicken tenders, drinks, popcorn, etc.

Our seats were right above the bull pen, so we got to see some of the pitchers warming up.

These were the HIDEOUS mascots. It’s Daisy & Deuce the Bears. The mascots themselves did a great job and were entertaining, but the costumes looked like they were rented from a cheap costume store and what do two bears have to do with Rough Riders? Or maybe it’s just my phobia of mascots that made me dislike them so much…nope, they just were hideous looking.

Here we are all decked out in our red Rough Riders colors. It was a fun game and it was fun to be there w/ Mom & Dad & Nick. The weather could not have been better…it was in the low 80’s w/ a slight breeze. PERFECT night to be outside enjoying a good baseball game.

As the sun was setting, the sky was the most gorgeous color of blue. And the moon was out, too. We won the game…4 to 2.

Here’s the whole crew that was there. It was such a fun night and thanks to Lexie and Jon for watching Autumn for me so that I could go.
