RCC patient party and Bees game

The fertility clinic Sean and I used for help getting pregnant with Jackson puts on a patient reunion party each year. We hadn't been to one in quite a few years, but this year they had it at the Bees game and we thought it would be a lot of fun to go because Jackson and Bode are so into baseball right now. I also thought it might be kind of cool for Jackson to meet Dr. Blauer, who is the doctor who helped us in our journey to get pregnant with Jackson. He has met him before, but he was just a baby. 

I will forever be grateful to this man for making our dreams of becoming parents a reality. And I am also very grateful we were fortunate enough to never needed any additional help with our other three children. 

Checking out the field before the game.




We had to get the ice cream in the plastic baseball hats! Just like when I was a kid!

It was such a fun night. It ended up being a great game and ended with the Bees winning at the bottom of the 11th inning with an in-field home run. The kids were all awesome and into the game. It was cool too because the Bees are the AAA affiliate of the Angels, which is the team Jackson and Bode played on together this season (with Sean as their coach).  One of the perks of making it to the end of the game was getting to watch the fireworks! It was a great ending to a great night.

Tulip festival 2017

I am a bit behind with our blog, but I am attempting to catch up! We take our kids to the tulip festival at Thanksgiving Point every spring. They really love going and just running around the gardens, and since tulips are one of my very favorite flowers, it is a win-win. 

This year we thought it would be fun to re-create a few of the pictures we took of the kids at the festival last year. Last year Molly was only like a week and a half old. It is crazy to see how much changes in a year! We took the pictures in the same spot, almost exactly one year apart (I think we were only one day off). Molly is even wearing the same bow! And I can't believe how much Jackson grew!
