Sunday Afternoon

8/16/09

Lazy Sunday afternoons are the best.






Everyone was playing baseball but when the neighbor's cat came by the little ones went over to growl at it.

Train and Baseball

We promised Hayden a while ago that we would ride the train to a baseball game. Thanks to Harmon's Family Night we have already gone to two games. Hayden had such a great time riding Trax. He was sitting by my sister-in-law, Ashlie, for most of the ride. She said he get showing her the train tracks out his window.

He really likes the baseball games too. Probably because Papa buys him cotton candy. Ever since the game Hayden frequently can be heard singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

Go Bees!

I have been wondering lately what happened to many of my pictures. I have uploaded pictures a few times in the last few weeks but somehow, today when I uploaded pictures my missing pictures were there.

One day my dad and Hayden were picking Joe up from the bus stop. My dad was talking to Hayden about going to a baseball game. He told him to tell Daddy that they would go to a baseball game one day. Hayden told Joe and Joe said that one day they could go. Well, to a two year old that meant right now. When my dad pulled back in the driveway Hayden started to cry because he thought they were going to baseball.

A few days later my dad decided to take everyone to the ball game. (When I was little we went to the Trapper's games all the time. It was so much fun.) Rachael was in town so all together there were 14 of us.

This picture isn't an accurate portrayal of Hayden's attitude that night. He had such a good time yelling "Go, Bees!" It started getting cold once the sun went down so we left early. Hayden cried because he did not want to leave.

Joe didn't learn his lesson that we can't tell Hayden that one day we will do something. He told him that one day we will ride the train to the baseball game. Hayden was upset for a few days because we still haven't gone.

Baseball

A few weeks ago Hayden got a fun t-ball set just like his friend James. He had such a good time playing ball at James' house that Mommy decided Hayden could have one at his house. Hayden is still learning how to make contact just with the ball and not the T. You will often hear him say, "Hit the ball, not the T." I wonder where he learned that phrase?

If you look in the background of the picture you will see Hayden's slide. I guess when you live in Utah and winter seems to last forever you have to bring the fun indoors.
