Well this Easter we had our own visitors, so we went on Sunday morning! My mom was in town from Philadelphia, and my cousin Mike's girlfriend Heather (they moved to Bham a few months ago...we are LOVING having them here!!) went with us, too! Pastor Chris' incredible message combined with being in church on Sunday morning, the actual morning Jesus was ALIVE again, was amazing. I left church floating, and have been relishing in the hope of my Jesus ever since. I'm here right now, but I won't be here forever. So instead of focusing on all of the 'things' here, I need to be consumed with the hope of Heaven. Such a simple truth, but so freeing!</span><br />

Three kids. All three years apart. Makes it easier on this mama's brain to remember who did what when!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Daddy/Daughter dance fun started at our house when Ellie was four and taking ballet. Her ballet school sent out an invitation to a dance for just girls and their dads. Robbie couldn't wait! Ellie couldn't either, of course! She wore a sweet smocked bishop, her hair in its usual one-side-pulled-back-in-a-bow, and a wrist corsage. Ellie's favorite part was watching her ballet teacher's helper performance for the evening's entertainment.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fast forward to the next February. Ellie is now five, and has requested something a little fancier to wear to this year's dance. A bouttonierre for daddy and a wrist corsage are an absolute must. Word on the street is that there was more dancing in 2011, too. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mary Claire was clearly not in the mood for photos that evening. Could also be that I wasn't up for battling with her since I was newly pregnant with Robert!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Apparently Robbie and Ellie skipped the next year, but that was okay, because in 2013, he got to take both girls! Mary Claire went to the Daddy/Daughter Dance where she takes ballet, and Ellie went to one with her Girl Scout troop.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mary Claire immediately knew she was wearing the same dress El did, but needed <i>her</i> monogram on a sash. She was also adamant about a wrist corsage for her and bout for daddy. Done.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The sassiness. MC knows what she wants to wear, how she wants her hair, shoes, accessories, you name it. Then when you take her picture, this is the 'I nailed the look I was going for' pose. Love her!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Look at my sweet girl! Robbie's mom ordered Ellie this dress because she thought she needed it. And she was right! You'll see that MC ends up needing it, too! Ellie was super-excited to go dance with Robbie AND to wear her favorite jewelry...charm bracelet and cross necklace. This dance was held in Robbie's high school's cafeteria, making it that much more fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Okay. This is where I can see my girls growing up! Ellie chose a dress from the Von Maur clearance rack (cause that's how roll!), had to have a purse to carry her lip gloss in, and wanted her hair in a side pony. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> MC chose this dress from Tar-jay. It ended up costing more than the Von Maur dress! The sequins, layers of tulle, and precious smile on my girl's face made it totally worth it, though!! Curls and a purse were MC's other requests. She and Robbie had a great time!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Look twice! This is MC the next year (this year, really!). Wearing El's dress from two years before. Again, wrist corsage and bout are required (per MC). The girls also made Robbie wait until they were completely ready and downstairs before he could see them. Precious!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">If this dress came in my size, we would totally rock the Mother-Daughter look. Ellie was not digging that she didn't get to shop for a dress (I bought it at a consignment sale), so we picked up this fun headband, tights, and shoes and she was perfectly fine.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> My new favorite picture of my girls. Ellie is loving that she's all dressed-up and ready to go out with Robbie, while MC is loving that she has on her favorite sweatshirt, pj pants, and scarf.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No matter where Robbie takes them, these girls have the best time.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's come to my attention that Ellie and her friends have discovered our blog. The third and fourth graders at Ellie's school are all given Chrome books (laptops) for the year. I dreaded having to essentially add a fourth child to our family, but it's really been okay. The worst incident was when Ellie and another student picked up each others' Chrome books after safety patrol one afternoon. It may or may not have taken me an hour to figure out whose Chrome book she had taken. Cause, you know, they're locked for safety. So all you see when you turn the thing on is whatever background the student chooses. Thankfully this incident occurred before the school system changed everyone's background to the same thing (let's not even think about why this happened!), so El knew the laptop belonged to a boy who likes Ole Miss. Goodness. That was fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyway, one day Ellie googled herself. (I know, parent of the year for letting my daughter play on Google unsupervised.) She found our blog and has now caught up on her life from age two until whenever the last time I blogged was. Her friends have also started reading the blog. Thinking it's time to update and attempt to keep things a bit more current.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, sweet Elliebelle, my goal is to blog at least once a week. And you're allowed to keep me accountable!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The El didn't have a party this year. I decided that with three kids, three parties in three months is a little bit too much. So Ellie and MC will be on an every-other-year party rotation. Instead, to celebrate turning nine (whoa!), Ellie had two friends spend the night and we did her favorite things: eat pizza, celebrate with cookie cake, and watch a movie. Done and done.</span><br />

My brother Greg offered to go with us (not to lunch for some strange reason!), and we jumped at that!! He did everything...bought our train tickets, told our cab where to go, met us after lunch, and led the way to Times Square. We SO appreciate Greg!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I made reservations to eat lunch at the American Girl store sometime in November. Our lunch was at 11:30, which was perfect. We got there just in time to check our coats, then we were seated. The food isn't the best in the world, but that really didn't matter. The experience was fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After lunch we shopped with the girls so they could spend the gift cards we gave them. Both dolls got their ears pierced. Ellie was a little freaked about making such a commitment, but was okay once she saw how cute Kanani looks with her earrings. MC chose a hair kit for her doll and Ellie got a cheer outfit and a book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The AG store is right across the street from Rockefeller Center, so we met Greg and walked to see the tree. Both girls wanted to ice skate, but once they saw how long it took to just get to the rink because of all of the crowds, they were fine just watching everyone else skate!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Times Square is only a few blocks away, so we followed Greg there next. I wanted to take the girls to Toys R Us, because they'd already been to FAO Schwarz when they were younger. Next time we will skip Toys R Us altogether and go to the M&M store or even back to FAO. Toys R Us was crowded and junky. All three floors of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We loved seeing all of the signs and lights on Times Square. Ellie was excited to see where they would drop the crystal ball on New Years Eve.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Their favorite was watching a breakdancing troupe that had hundreds of people gathered around. I, personally, didn't see a thing because I didn't have anyone to pick me up!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At this point both girls were thirsty and cold, so we knew it was time to call it a day. Robbie got snacks and drinks for the train ride home, then we once again followed Greg down to the subway. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The girls were so good about always holding our hands. They never complained about walking (and we walked a lot!) or the crowds. I was super-proud!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mom got us at the train station, so we didn't have to find our car or anything. Mass transit really does rock!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When we got back to Mom and Henry's house, Robert was waiting for us. In one of the girls' tank tops. Mom was worried that Robert would be cold, and she couldn't find any undershirts for him. That would be because we live in Alabama, Robert is the third child, and we don't have undershirts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy Birthday, Jesus! This Christmas season we went low-key at the Latham house. I felt guilty for not hanging our Advent calendar with fun prizes for the girls. Then the Lord told me that it was all okay. Instead we could focus more on Him. So we did. And Christmas was wonderful. I didn't get stressed (well, maybe a little once or twice), and the kids really enjoyed Christmas. Not presents and candy and parties, but meaningful time with family and celebrating Jesus.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nonna and Papa also kept our kids while we went to the Iron Bowl. This picture makes me laugh. We were both in such shock at what had just happened that we didn't even take out our headphones! (I've had my stadium radio for the last three years so I know exactly who does what on the field. I'm in my own little Auburn World at the games...I love it! So after borrowing my radio when I don't get to go to the games, Robbie finally got one of his own!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I finally got a new lens for the camera. I tried super-hard to get a good picture of all of the grandkids so I could give my parents a canvas for Christmas. This picture was the best I could do, so I added my own background/frame/wording and had it printed at Wal-Mart onto a 'faux' canvas. I'm waiting on a picture to do a real one, but in the meantime I'm happy with the way it came out.</span></div>

I attempted to paint a pair of rainboots for the costume... (they looked great, but by the end of the day the green was showing through the chipping paint. Oh well!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Six, standing in the center of the aisle in the Disney Jr. show is highly frowned upon. So highly, in fact, that a man will come ask you to move your child eighteen different times before you get so frustrated you go stand in the back of the show. Of course, I saw this happen to someone else. Not me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The last three days were great, but this was the day I couldn't wait for. Everything about the Magic Kingdom is my favorite. And Cinderella's Castle. I mean really. It's incredible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Each morning we were in Disney, the kids woke up to a small treat to start the day. (Yes, I had an entire suitcase dedicated to Disney treats.) For our Magic Kingdom day, the girls got autograph books and picked out their own pens in the gift shop. They were ready for characters!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a kid, Robbie loved EPCOT. I did not. My grandparents lived in Orlando, so I went to Disney a lot. Then my mom and stepdad lived in Tampa for several years and got us season passes to Disney one year. I always thought EPCOT was lots of movies about science (blah!) and the big ball with the boring ride.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For dinner that night we went to Le Cellier, which is in EPCOT, in Canada. The only request Robbie had for our entire trip was to eat here. We knew the kids would like it since it's a steakhouse. None of us were very impressed. The atmosphere was dark, there wasn't anything kid-friendly (except the menus to color on), and the food was good, not fantastic. Live and learn!</span></div>

We walked over to Japan where they got to pick an oyster, watch it get cracked open, then see a pearl inside! Ellie's oyster had 'twin' pearls, and Mary Claire's had a big pearl. Fun! Once they saw their treasures, they got to beat a drum in celebration. (They also got a sweet carriage necklace that the pearl fits inside of!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">By this time, it was close to nine, which meant the light show/fireworks would be starting. It also meant that Robert was done for the night. So, Robert, the double stroller, and all of our bags went back to the hotel. I considered that haul as my exercise for an entire week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Everyone that stayed behind really enjoyed the show over the lake in the center of EPCOT. It was a great way to end our third day at Disney and get ready for the first day at the Magic Kingdom!!</span></div>

Nope. It deserves a post of its own! To make it easier, I'm going to break it down by day (which may also take a couple of posts!). Let's begin...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Day One || Arrive/EPCOT</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We flew into Orlando around 3:00pm on a Friday.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The plane ride and the bus ride to our resort were enough for Robert that day. He was already taken by the Disney 'magic.' </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We decided to go ahead and go to a park that night so we could use one of our meals, plus we knew we wouldn't be going on our last day. EPCOT is a great way to ease into the world of all things Disney. The lines are usually shorter, and the park itself is smaller, so there's not as much walking.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Day Two || Chef Mickey's/Animal Kingdom</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I was planning our trip, I tried to map things out as conveniently as I could, knowing that we were taking three children this time! Chef Mickey's is an over-the-top breakfast buffet with characters in the Contemporary Resort (it's attached to Bay Lake by a walkway). Did you see the whole 'with characters' in that last sentence? Yeah, I was a little bit worried that Robert would take days to warm up to the characters that would constantly surround him. Um, not even close. It took him all of two seconds. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">And look how far this girl has come. No shaking, no crying, just pure love for the characters (or, as she now knows, a person in a costume). Another side note...Ellie chose to wear her back-up glasses because they matched her outfit. Ellie doesn't care at all about clothes (complete opposite of MC!), so it was fun to see her choose her own thing.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we were eating, a sky writer started doing his magic. I lived in Orlando for a year when I was in first grade, and I remember seeing the sky writers so many times, wondering what message or picture they were going to leave!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since I'm never one to mince words, I'm going to be honest and say that Animal Kingdom is not our favorite park. When it's hot and humid, AK seems crowded and hard to navigate. So, we tackled this park on day two, after breakfast. That way we didn't feel rushed during our meal, and the park closes by 6:00 every night, so we were good to go! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The most fun we had at Animal Kingdom was riding Kali River Rapids. Ellie and I got drenched, making us relieved we saved that ride for last! Robbie and I also loved Everest, but couldn't convince the girls to join us!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the hotel that night we ate a quick meal and settled in to watch the Auburn/LSU game. The girls were not as in to it as the rest of us. Off to the pool! Our room had an incredible view of the pool, so I would periodically check to be sure that Robbie wasn't throwing things off of the balcony out of frustration during the game.</span></div>

I felt guilty about not keeping it up for about a month. Then I remembered that I have three kids, two that are in school full-time and have after-school activities. Plus we went to Disney for seven days. Life is busy. Good busy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Christmas is almost here, y'all! Our mantle is decked out in all its burlap garland glory, but the only tree to be found in our house is a pink one in the girls' room. Oh well. It will get done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last night the girls' school hosted its annual 'Cookies and Milk with Santa.' MC was a little disappointed when she found out we wouldn't actually be eating <i>with</i> Santa. Just seeing him, then getting the milk and cookies. The girls still had a fun time sitting on his lap telling him what they wanted. Ellie would like books (what?!), </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our sweet Mary Claire turned five on the first day of school. Her first day of school in a 'real' school. A 'real' school for a whole day. A whole day as in 7:45-2:45, not 9:00-1:00. So we celebrated MC by meeting friends at the mall for lunch and a ride on the carousel. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To make the day even more special, Mary Claire's BFF (that's what they refer to each other as...precious.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">As Robbie was watching the Masters this past April, he saw an advertisement for 'Drive, Chip, and Putt.' It's a tournament for younger kids sponsored by the PGA. So, Robbie emailed Ellie's name to the PGA just to see what happened. We were all surprised when a couple of weeks later we found out Ellie was chosen to participate!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">For Christmas, Santa brought Ellie a set of golf clubs, and she was using them every couple of weeks. When we found out she was chosen for this tournament, Robbie and his dad went into golf mode! Not only did she start practicing at the driving range at least twice a week, but Robbie's sweet dad signed her up for private golf lessons, too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Let me tell you, this girl was determined and she worked HARD!! The tournament consists of three rounds: the first being regional, the second held in another regional locale, then the third being at Augusta National (where the Masters takes place). Ellie placed second in her first regional (in Columbus, Georgia), advancing her to the next round.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, Robert, you made Mama cave. And on more than just characters. You have taught me that boys really are different. You love fiercely, and can be fiercely stubborn. Cars are your most favorite thing in the world, and you just came that way. You can be disobedient like your sisters never were, and somehow it doesn't bother me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sweet, sweet boy. We are so proud of how strong, personable, and kind you are! God is preparing you to be a warrior for His kingdom, and what a warrior you will be!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the midst of gallivanting</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> (Robbie loves that word!) here, there, and everywhere this summer, Robbie had to do his own laundry once or twice. It was in drying his clothes that Robbie discovered our dryer was not the best in the world. As in, it ran for an entire night. Yes, the clothes were dry, but an entire night?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sooo, Robbie and I knew it was time for a new dryer. We headed to Lowes after dinner one night (who knew Lowes closes at 10!!) sans kids and found a dryer we really liked in the scratch and dent section. Not being an impulse buyer, Robbie said he wanted me to research the dryer, then go look at the other Lowes in Birmingham to see what they had in the scratch and dent section. On a whim, I decided to research not just the dryer, but the washer, too. I mean, you never know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mom and I loaded the kids up to head to the other two local Lowes. And I was not excited. The dryer we found was perfect for us. Let's just buy it and save the gas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As the kids ran wild in Lowes with Mom, I checked out the scratch and dent goodies. And there it was(cue angels singing)...the matching washer!! For $700...originally $899!! I asked the lady who was working if that was the final price, and she said they actually needed to mark it down again because it had been sitting on the sales floor for two weeks. After knocking off another 10%, the price was even better! I called Robbie to tell him the exciting news. And he said to ask if we could have it for $500. So I did. ANY THEY SAID YES!! (Turns out someone was moving the washer from one of the shelves and hit the side of it on the shelf, resulting in a teeny scratch on the front.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I bought that bad boy in no time flat and we were on our way to get the dryer. The dryer had been marked down to $719, so I thought I would try to get it for $500, too. I mean, all they could say was no. And they did. But we did get it for $675, which is not bad for an $899 dryer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">MKay. The lesson of this post is to always shop the scratch and dent section before purchasing a big item. The second is to negotiate. Yes, it can be extremely intimidating, but what an incredible feeling when you save money! Even if the store won't budge, at least you tried! And the last lesson is to listen to your husband when he tells you to be patient!! ;)</span>The Latham Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12618901115676313494noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064470026799052563.post-87925728498721534032013-08-10T06:00:00.000-05:002013-08-10T06:00:00.674-05:00Back It Up<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Y'all.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We were home for a few days (just enough time to do all of our laundry), then the kids and I headed to Pennsylvania for ten days. We love being spoiled with yummy food and a pool in the backyard!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today is my sweet Papa's sixtieth birthday. And since he's my number one blog fan, I had to come out of my blogging hiatus to wish him an incredibly happy day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This past weekend we celebrated Papa (and Robert!) with a family party. All five of his grandkids were there to help. This is the absolute best picture I could get of the five of them all at once. They're always playing together, so it's hard to get a picture of them while they're still! But I really don't care...I love that they love each other as much as they do!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our sweet Ellie turned eight years old! To celebrate her, sixteen friends came to Camp Ellie for a little 'glamping' (glamorous camping!). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">When the campers arrived, they checked in by grabbing a lanyard and a nametag. Each girl decorated her nametag and attached it to the lanyard so everyone would know each others' names, since Ellie invited friends from everywhere (church, school, family friends...).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once they finished up their nametags, we moved on to bracelet making. I searched high and low for a craft that the girls could make and take home. Pinterest did not fail. I found <strike>a bajillion</strike> several pins about popsicle stick bracelets. I made them the week before, and the girls decorated them. So cute!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since the girls were so hungry, we decided to go ahead and do cake right after dinner. The tent on top of the cake was going to be a pinata, but after much discussion, Robbie and I decided it was a better decoration! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: left;">and we came home with a new grill!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The company who sponsored the event held a drawing for several prizes. Originally someone else won the grill, but turned it down because he is from Louisiana and had no way to get it home. The next name drawn was Robbie's!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Yes, friends. All of the <strike>crap</strike> stuff on top of the grill was what it took to bring all of the kids to a baseball game.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here are the kids waiting in the lobby for Robbie to bring the van around. Pushing a gas grill through the streets of downtown Birmingham with three kids in tow was not something we wanted to experience. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Notice the matching t-shirts? We all had them. (Yep. Even me and Robbie. I insisted that we wear them since this company was feeding us and giving us awesome seats! I was really thankful we all wore them once the grill was thrown in the deal, too!) And Ellie and MC's were size small. Adult small. Which we didn't figure out until it was time to leave for the game. SOOOO, I took some black ribbon and sewed it down the sides and sleeves. Quick fix for entirely-too-big t-shirts. Except for Robert. He is not allowed to have grosgrain ribbon anywhere near his clothing!! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you're in Birmingham and the Barons are playing, you must go. The stadium is fantastic. Several green spaces lining the field are general seating areas. Above those are picnic tables so you don't have to sit in the grass to eat. We ran into friends that night who had seats there, and our girls were reluctant to go back to our seats!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All of that said, I'm not even a baseball lover (I get a pass...I do love football and basketball), and even I enjoyed my time at Regions Field!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Robert and I are in summer-break mode, too! It's only a few days into the summer, and I am loving not having a schedule everyday! Okay, so what I'm really loving is not being in my car all day long. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Robert loves having entertainment all day, every day! Lately Robert calls Ellie 'Eh-yee,' and Mary Claire 'K Claire.' 'Sissy' can be either girl. Love this boy!!</span></div>
