Last week...

...we finished up another season of this

(I think Brendan was thrilled about that; he was always so into the game)

My parents came to visit for the weekend and brought all their toys

Emery loved using the Ipod touch and Brendan mastered the Kindle. I think things are a little backwards here though, I thought it was supposed to be the kids with all the fancy gadgets, but my parents put me to shame here.

 We attended the annual school carnival and made Grandpa and Grandma come with us

 Brendan wanted to do Karaoke; Hailey wanted to sing with him. That was fine, but he insisted on singing a Beatles song that, of course, he had never even heard, but he just liked the name of. Well, he read off the screen fairly well, but Hailey doesn't read so it was an interesting number to say the least. 

This was Emery's favorite thing of the whole night

On Saturday we attended a 51's game with Corey's office. We again made Grandpa and Grandma come with us. We started the night with a pregame carnival. We hadn't had enough carnival time the night before.

 All the kids cared about was getting to ride the slide and winning a stuffed animal. We stayed just long enough to accomplish that before we headed to eat and watch the players warm up. We had a good view of the game.

 Emery spent the evening eating food that was and wasn't hers and claiming everyone else's drinks as her own.

Last time we went to a game, my kids loved having the mascot come and meet them, however they picked just the wrong time to run off to the concessions and missed him. Emery was the only one still around and she only liked the "doggie" from a distance. Thank goodness Stephanie was willing to pose with him so I could document that he came. Sorry kids.

It was another fun and busy weekend. Lots going on and my parents were good sports about all of it. We love having them visit and are always sad to see them go.
