4th of July Festivities

Saturday night we went to Corporate Woods for Fireworks. Great-Grandpa was getting a little anxious for the them to start, but luckily Cayden was there to entertain us.

   

Here’s Grandpa Fred with Cayden waiting for fireworks to start.

 

Uncle Ari was trying to comfort Cayden because he was getting hungry. Instead, Cayden fell asleep in Uncle Ari’s arms.

 

It was a beautiful night, but apparently Great-Grandpa was cold. Sorry, we only had a Cardinals blankey.

 

Before fireworks we went to dinner at Jack Stack BBQ. Cayden enjoyed his BBQ too!

 

Grandpa Fred, Great-Grandpa Mark, & Uncle Ari enjoying their food.

Chad and I at dinner.

Thank goodness we finished our dinner, because Cayden had had enough! Chad took Cayden outside which seemed to have calmed him down. Here’s Chad outside the window by our table.

Before dinner we went to the Royals/White Sox Game at the ‘K’.

Relish won!

Jennifer Weaver was in from Boston and we met up with her in the outfield. Chad used to work with her at Sprint. We hadn’t seen her since her wedding in August.

Cayden enjoying the game.

Alexei Ramirez was Grandma Judi’s favorite player. Here’s a picture of him in Memory of Grandma Judi. One year ago, we were at the White Sox game in Chicago with her as she ate BBQ.

We went to dinner at Red Robin Friday night. Of course Grandpa was flirting with the waitress.

Before the family arrived we went to the Peters’ house for a 3rd of July BBQ.

 

Peters and Woods are getting ready to enter the Shawnee BBQ Contest. They smoked a ton of meet for over 12 hours.

A Night out for Mommy & Daddy

Thanks to some really good and brave friends of ours, we were able to go to P&L to see a free Dierks Bentley concert. We were very grateful Katie & Graham said they were able to watch Cayden. Although they had him watching the Chicago Cubs game, we forgive them since Cayden seemed happy and slept 8 hours last night. Thanks again Katie & Graham!

Here are some of the awesome pics we got from the concert!

Chad and I at P&L July 2nd, 2009

 

    

I had to take pictures of what it looked like. They actually stopped letting people into P&L because it got so crowded. There were people in the parking garage watching the show…If you look at the two pictures below, you can see the people everywhere! It was great!

Cayden and I meet Miss Sophie Arunski Thursday. Sophie was born June 25, 6 lbs. 3 oz., 19 inches long. Cayden and Sophie will be going to the same daycare, so they will be seeing a lot of each other in October when Sophies Mommy goes back to work as a 3rd grade teacher at Madison.

Congrats Katie & Matt! She’s adorable!

 

Erica holding Sophie- 1 week old today!

Fawn holding Sophie

Look at this little princess…Awww, so precious!

Cayden and Bridget looking like big kids.

Apparently, Bridget is trying to undress my child. I know he’s cute an all, but you are only 16 weeks old and he’s only going to be 10 weeks on Saturday. Oh well! At least they like each other!

Look how tiny Sophie looks in between Cayden and Bridget!

Welcome Sophie to the baby crew!
