Diamonds and Tiaras

After yet another weekend out of town I am starting to feel like a nomad. I unpack only to repack again. All of our goings have been totally enjoyable and I still have to do blogs about the Zoo, Tum Tum, Jesse and the twins birthdays, but tackling this last weekend seemed easier. We are out of town again next weekend and then back over to Spokane at the end of September, but after that we should be here more. I never thought I would travel so much in my condition with a newborn, oh well.


It began with a Princess themed birthday party (tiaras) for Ilee, Jesse's niece, up in Seattle. Luckily, Peyton got to be a prince (hence the crowns), but that meant no heels or makeup for him. He still seems to be at that age where toys interest him more than people, so he didn't socialize a ton. He did however, sing happy birthday so cutely and then attempted to blow out the candles for Ilee. Of course, he then preceded to eat only the frosting off the cupcake and well, you can see the result.



After the party we then got to the diamond part of the evening. The event we all had been waiting for. A mariners game. And not just a Mariners game, but a game with great seats. We were only 5 rows from the field and check out our view...
The game was in honor of both Nathan, his brother, and Jesse's birthdays. It was interesting having two newborns there (the toddlers stayed home with a sitter), but they did give us great inspiration for our rally fries sign.

We thought it was good, and it was definitely the biggest and boldest one that night. Unfortunately, we were not honored with the fries but we did make it onto the jumbo screen, not on TV though. Bummer! Our section was super pumped about that and they all thought we should get them. Don't fret, we did treat ourselves to some garlic fries anyways, yummo. The night was really fun, a little scary because we were always on the lookout for foul balls, we just wish we had the opportunity to do stuff like that more often. Thanks Nathan and Raya, Happy Birthday boys!
