Fourth of July Celebration - Saturday

We started our celebration early this year for the FOURTH celebration. First off, it was extremely hot on Saturday so we had to find some kind of way in the water that wouldn't turn into an all day event. So we washed our car. Bri'elle helped us too! It was so much fun washing the car as a family. Jay and I both love to wash cars (we both would spend hours washing our cars when we weren't even together). I hope we can rub some off on Bri'elle for when she's older. : D

After the carwash Bri'elle went down for a nap. Then momma and daddy got into some real car business. We started Jay's car up. It has been months and months since the last time we had that baby on the road. So guess what, momma took that thing out on the backroads...until the gas light came on. Hilarious panic moment for sure. Once I got back home it was time to get ready for the A's game.

We joined Marissa, Justin, & Jordan in celebrating Justin's 25th birthday at the A's game. There was a good little group of us that went which was Olga & her family, Meagan & her family, and then some of Justin's co-workers. It was sooooo fun!!!! It was great having all the families together too. And to top it off we got to see some fireworks which was by far one of the best shows I've seen and had a great sound track that played along with it. Bri'elle didn't like them and then like them and went back and forth depending on how loud it boomed and if it was a colored one or not. I'm so glad our families all got together for some good sportsfan fun and to celebrate Justin's birthday. P.s. I know the guys had tons of fun from hearing all the stories. I really hope we can get them all together again sometime soon! : )

I love weekends with great friends!!!!

Daddy Daughter Date - A's Game

Let's Go A's!!!!!!!!

On Friday (April 15th) Jay went on a daddy date with Bri'elle and another daddy (Justin) and his daughter (Jordan). This game was Bri'elles first professional baseball game and from what I hear she had a blast. Jay said she was totally into the game and was yelling when everyone was yelling and clapping when everyone else was clapping. I'm so glad she had fun. We are definitely going at least once a month to the games. They have so many deals this year that will make it easier for us to go. At this game they were giving away A's blankets for the first 10,000 fans which all four of them each got to bring home a blanket. Not only did they make out with blankets but they also got two A's shirts (Jay got one for himself and one for me since they were only giving away XL sizes), a voucher for three tickets to another game, a $6 concession stand purchase, and they all had fun. I'm so glad they went. Jay and Justin are talking about doing a daddy/daughter date once a month to the games which is a fantastic idea and us moms (Me and Marissa - the wife/mommy of Justin and Jordan) will have ourselves a girl night. Below are some pics from the game night. I let Jay take my good camera and he promised to get some good pics including a pic of all four of them. :)

P.s. Our girls are the cutest. They were wearing the same dress and it wasn't even planned.
