Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Allen took Aiden to a Diamondbacks baseball game. Aiden absolutely loved it!A lady sitting by them thought Aiden was the cutest thing she had ever seen. When she found out this was his first baseball game, she left and came back with this cute button for Aiden. It says, "My 1st Game," with the Diamondbacks logo and mascot.
Aiden has an obsession with baseball. He carries around a bat and ball all day and says, "Hit it," "Batter hits it, pitcher throws it," "Strike" (with his thumb stuck out), and other random baseball-ish things ALL DAY LONG. He remembers eating CrackerJacks at the baseball game and talks about them a lot too. Recently he has learned the "Take me Out to the Ball Game" song, and we sing that at least 5 times a day.

What else could he possibly be for Halloween but a baseball player. Grandma and Grandpa Francis found this cute baseball outfit and hat for him. We tried it on to see how it looked. He was in heaven!!!

The BEST Trip to Utah!

We just went on a super fun trip to Utah from August 23 to September 12th. Allen was with us for a week and then drove home, and Aiden and I stayed another 2 weeks and then flew home. We had so much fun seeing all our friends and family!!! This is Aiden helping me pack before the trip.
We stopped in Las Vegas on our drive up to Utah from Arizona. Aiden has never been to Vegas so we took him to the Belagio and showed him the display of flowers and things inside and the water fountain show outside. He loved it all, but his favorite thing was playing with the water arches over the walk way.


We stayed the night in St. George with Grandma-Great Daphne! Aiden mowed the lawn with Grandma-Great and helped her rake and sweep the back porch. He loved looking at all her glass, and playing with her kitty toys (the kitties never came out.) It was so fun to stay with Grandma-Great! We love her so much!!
We stopped in Cedar City and saw our nephew, Brandon. He just started college at SUU. It was great to see him!!
It was a very long drive, and we were all ready to finally be in Utah Valley!!!
