Abner Group, Mike's company, makes it to a Mariner's game yearly so we took the boys with us this time. Jake was very excited to watch a baseball game. Ben was clueless but he clapped when everyone else clapped and danced to the music. Here we are, boys paying close attention while Mike and I smile at the camera.

Jake was determined to catch a ball. I found this one of those heart breaking moments as a mother because he was so excited to "play" baseball and didn't understand that we were just watching. There was no way a foul ball was going to be hit where we were sitting but Jake had his glove out and ready anyway. Dad and Jake took a walk later to the lower levels so they could check out more of the action up close.

Earlier in the week, my dear friend Rachel came to visit. Jake loves babies and was enamored with baby Audrey. Rachel has 2 kids that are the same distance in age as our kids...16 months. Yes, we are both crazy but we love having them so close. Sam and Audrey are younger then my boys but we enjoy going on walks with them. They recently moved to Vancouver so we miss seeing them more.
Ben checking out baby Audrey as well. He doesn't quit know what gentle is like Jake does but he is learning by watching Jake how to be a little better in that department.
We also had a day visiting our friends Heather and Micah. I love this picture of them eating ice cream sandwiches in their backyard. Micah is a joy and loves to play with Ben (and Jake).
Finally, a favorite pasttime of the boys...to crawl into Jake's bed and read. Mike caught them on Sunday enjoying some time together and they both are saying "cheese". Can you tell?

The ballgame looks like so much fun, especially since the boys seemed to be so into watching the action (and they could be as noisy as they liked)! And of course I love all the other pictures of the boys and Audrey & Micah. The boys in bed reading is adorable! I have Alena here today and her and Samuel were both on the couch doing the same thing.
Just a side note: I put Audrey in the pantry closet last night to sleep, determined to not get her until this AM. I only heard her for a little while at 11pm and then not again until 5:45, which since it had been 10 hours, I decided was a good time to feed her. She slept again until 7:45. We'll keep her in the closet for another week or so and then maybe try putting her in with Samuel . . ??!! I'm so ready to get a bit more than 4 hours of sleep at a time!! :)
