Baseball Game

Our trip to the Quakes Minor league Baseball park in Rancho Cucamonga.

As a last minute weekend plan, we packed up the boys, invited some friends, and went to watch a laid back baseball game. The Minor league is a great option for us since it is much cheaper than taking the boys to an Angels game and leaving 3 innings into the game. For this game, we were able to stay through more than half of the game.

I bought Cotton Candy and shared it with the boys, Brendan loved it, Sammy wasn't quite so sure. In the end, I was the one who consumed most of it! (To see a video of the boys with the Cotton Candy and Tawni's post on the night go to her blog at Life with the Websters)

Scott took Brendan down to see the Mascot "Trimmer" (I think). Brendan gave him "bumps" and a high five, but he felt safer from afar.

We had a great time. Another successful family outing!

A Baseball Family

It's crazy to think that a little over 2 years ago we were this:

Just the two of us starting out with a brand new baby boy. Scott was thrilled to be able to take his son to baseball games, he was so little, but we were so proud!

And now, two years later we are here:

A family of 4. Two wonderful sons, on a family outing to more baseball games!

And to think, it all started 5 years ago...

Angel's Baseball!

Last night was a stressful night! "Here we go again!" I thought, "Another sweep from the Red Sox in the Post Season!" But to our excitement, the Angels actually won last night! That means that we are still in the running for making it to the World Series! I know it is a long shot, but the Angels have been playing well all year, we might make it! The Angels must win 2 more games to clinch the series against the Red Sox, where Boston only has to win 1 game against us.

We were on the edge of our seats most of the night watching the roller coaster of a game just to see who would come out on top! My heart was racing as we entered the 12th inning, but the Angels were victorious in a thrilling 5-4 victory.

As I said, it was a roller coaster of events, Torii Hunter along with Howie Kendrick, let a routine pop-fly fall right in the middle of three outfielders letting Boston score, as every Angel fan started yelling at the TV. (Check out Torii Hunter's blog and he will tell you all about it.) Then my favorite player comes up to bat - Catcher Mike Napoli! Scott starts making comments about my player as I tell him to watch out - "Napoli is going to do something great right now!" Just seconds before his big play Scott tells me, if Napoli hits a home run, I'll buy you whatever you want!" Thanks for coming through Mike! The next time Napoli comes up to bat, HE DOES IT AGAIN! What an Amazing player! For all you guys who laughed at me for choosing Napoli as my favorite player, look who's laughing now! But Napoli doesn't stop, he goes on and hits a single in the 12th, which then ends up scoring the winning run. Hopefully we can keep it up to win again tonight. Man I love baseball!

P.S. The pictures above of Brendan were from his 1st & 2nd baseball games, only a few weeks old at the time, these are not recent pictures, maybe I will post more tomorrow of Brendan in his Angel gear, depending on how the game goes tonight...
