Go Twins!

I won tickets to the Twins Game on Friday night and so we thought it would be a great way to get the kids there this year...cheaper:) It was Rowan's first time at Target Field...and his first pro sporting event. Good thing we didn't pay for the tickets because we only made it to the second inning, and not because of Rowan.

There were several things working against us, starting with Riley, who had a headache before we left and we almost didn't even go. Then we got there and the tickets were in what I like to call the "Panic Attack" section. I knew that going into it, but I was going to try again...FAIL. I just cannot do the upper level there. I was shaking so bad Josh had to hold the food so I didn't dump it. We ate our cheese curds and headed down to the concourse level. On our way down the elevator girl told me to check with Guest Services and they might be able to find us better seats (good to know!) Guest Services told us they would look for seats not being used and to check back after the second inning...We stood in Standing Room Only spaces behind home plate, which would have been fine with me (and I think Rowan liked it too...go TC Bear viewing). But since Riley wasn't feeling good, I think it was just too much for her. So we left before we even went back to GS to get seats reassigned.

Overall though, it was fun to take the kids to see Target Field and we got LOTS of pictures in the hour we were there:)

In Trouble Again...

I am getting in trouble again for not posting enough photos...this time from more than just Meg, so here goes...a barrage of Easter that will blow your mind...or at least keep me off the hit list! In my defense, Blogger and the web site I get my backgrounds from are not playing nice and I'm not happy with the new look of my layout so I apologize for the weirdness until I figure out what happened...I will start with Easter last weekend with the Cooley side and catch you up to our Easter this weekend with the Schusters.

Row and Riley Updates

Riley Updates:
Riley will turn 5 on Saturday. I will have her height and weight stuff next week, but for now, she is in 4-5 year Pre-K and loves it. She is in her own bedroom in the basement and has transitioned really well! She loves playing with the neighbor kids and having lots of play dates. Her first "hockey" injury might mean a tooth that comes out a little early, but overall, she is loving hockey and loved T-ball this year too.

Rowan Updates:
His favorite new words are "stop!" "Wait!" and "No!" He can say airplane, hand, moo, i do (Whenever he wants something he points and says I do...anticipating the question, do you want that? It's kinda funny. He also says "mon" meaning c'mon and always waves his had when saying it. I don't know how much I'm duplicating some of his words...but I think these are the newest ones. He loves his sister and wants to wake her up in the morning. "Ry-Ry...Are you???" meaning... where are you:)

I think that's it. Josh likes to take the kids to all the parks in the area when he runs...this is the newest one he found. Sounds like it was a good one!
