Slammers Game - Star Wars Night

We've gone to two Joliet Slammers baseball games this summer.  The last one we met a bunch of Luke's classmates and their parents, which was a lot of fun.

The first, though, was the night of Luke's kindergarten graduation.  What a fun way to celebrate our big guy!

We even borrowed some costumes from Grandma & Grandpa for the night!




Luke was in heaven. Paige was a little nervous around these guys.





Emmy & Pat met us at the game!



And some great fireworks to end the night!



Oh, but we can't forget this picture! LOL

ONE great baseball party!

I pretty much knew before Ty was born that we were going to go with a baseball-themed birthday party.  I had been taking his monthly pictures with a baseball bat all along.



The day of his party was the hottest day of the year up to that point.  It was a great day to be in the water!  We actually had a short sprinkle of rain come through and it helped to cool things off a bit.









We had popcorn & peanuts & cracker jacks! And nachos and hot dogs and twizzlers - all of your ballgame favorites. And, of course, beer!















Along with the food was all of our favorite people!









He's ready to dive right into the party!





"I'm ready for cake!"







I think he couldn't even believe this was all his at first!



He almost went face first but we all were yelling and excited about it that I think we scared him and he stopped.  Darn!



He was willing to share!





And then he just got silly!



And enjoyed the whole thing!













Party in the pool!

And present time!



Ty had many helpers!



(Notice the threat of severe weather on the tv, but we were good!)







The "thank you" spot!



It was ONE great party!



(These 4 were in the pool until almost 9 PM!)
