Busy, busy weekend...

For the Weite kiddos & the best part was that Grampy & Mimi were able to make it up for a four day visit.... 

We hit the I-Cubs, Taste of HOPE, Barnstormer's game, and the horse tracks over at Prairie Meadows!! To say we had LOTS of family fun would be the understatement of the year!!! 

I-Cub fun!!!

Manicure time!! Tay got ladibugs & Ty got watermelons!!! 

Getting Barnstormered up for the night... 

Beautiful Butterfly Wings...and sparkles!!!

Bags for the Big Boys...competition time!!!

Almost her turn!

My Little Lefty!!!

Trey on the field, waiting for the Barnstormers to hussle out of the tunnel and take the field....

They loved this pony!

Tay found Tink!!!

Ty & Tink!!!

The boys Feeling Lucky!!

So proud of her spin art!!

Picking the winners...

Sporting the jockey goggles he scored after one of the races!!

My Little Jockeys!!!

What a fun time!! It had been waaay too long since we'd seen them...so glad they made the trip up!!! 

See you soon, Grampy & Mimi!!! ❤️

Baseball action

at Principal Park has been so much fun this year...

We've definitely seen our fair share if great games & been spoiled in the autograph department... 

What a fun season so far...Go I-Cubs!!!

Happy Mother's Day

To ME!!! 

Yes! That's right! I'm celebrating myself today!!!

Mommyhood is HARD! But it's also the most rewarding thing on this planet!! I love my three little babes more than life itself and couldn't imagine living this life without them....

From the biggies like birthdays and all the "firsts" milestones to the littles like kissing owies & combing hair. 

From the happy moments and fits of laughter to the sad times filled with crocodile tears. 

From the times they test my patience levels like no other to the moments when the stars align and they kill each other with kindness. 

From the times they let me snuggle them x's 1,000 and won't go to bed without a tuck-up & a kiss (or 20) to the moments when they can't stomp away loud enough & mumble under their breaths.

All I know is that I wouldn't trade a single second of any of it in....

Mommyhood makes me whole & fills my heart with the truest form of 110% unconditional love....

I had a great time spending the day at the ballpark with my crew and relishing in all things Mommy!!! 

And, I loved all my special, straight from the heart, gifts from my sweeties...the things that are better than any amount of money can buy...

The perfect homemade wrapping paper that doubled as the perfect banner from Trey Man!!

My framed note...

And, my BEAUTIFUL finger flower cards from my girls!!! 

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Now, the hair cut, pedicure, and new makeup is still to come. Mommy does deserve a little time to herself & I'm totally thinking I'm going to turn Mother's Day into Mother's WEEK!!! 

I-Cubby action....

and, now that the weather is getting warmer, the best part of the game for the kiddos was playing in the fountains, of course!!!

But, not before they got a few autographs....

Fountain time!

Checking out the warm-ups....

Oh yeah! 

Peek-A-Boo

This was about as far as this little one would go into the fountain...cutie! (And, due for her 1st haircut!!!)

Ty tried her best to get Tay in a little further....

But it didn't stop her from playing in the water...

View from the fountain area. There seriously is not a bad seat in that stadium...

What's better than watching a baseball game in your swimsuit and blotting your owie with a wet wipe?!?!

FUNGO was a big hit...(And and great idea. We were given a bingo card as we walked into the stadium and then tried to get 5-in-a-row on our cards depending on the line score of the baseball game. For example, we looked for a F-5 on our card and circled it if the batter popped up to the 3rd baseman....)

No game is complete without a pic with Cubby Bear (Tay's still a little too scared)...

and a peek at the Des Moines River....see any fish?!?!

It's always a fun time at Principal Park!
