Weekend Recap: Reds v. Cubs and some Gooood deals!

As I mentioned in my last post on Friday, our little family headed to Cincinnati for the Cubs game on Friday night with some good friends of ours. We piled into Matt's big red truck because it fits all 5 of us so nicely and took a small road trip to enjoy an evening of baseball and good company.


Reasons why it rocked:

#1 BEAUTIFUL evening, we were never in the sun and it cooled off to the point that I brought my sweatshirt along and actually used it, not to mention that meant baby jeans, pretty sure I'm sooo in love with baby jeans now! PERFECT night to be outside enjoying a baseball game as the sun set and the river was right over the railing from us.

#2 Lydia was a PERFECT 10 on the baby scale. Not only did she look so cute in her cubbies outfit but she did not fuss one bit, she slept through a few innings that included fireworks and applause, she adjusted to her baby bjorn carrier like a champ and loooved being toted around while attached to mommy, she gave smiles to those we passed and she sat through her first big fireworks show and just layed back in my arms sucking on her paci and cuddling her blanket as her bedtime quickly came and went. ROCKSTAR baby people.



#3 Good People. We looved hanging out with Amanda and Andrew, they are such a laid back couple and they adore our Lydia girl. Ok so they are Reds fans but that's ok they are too nice to hold it against them and they even offered to be ok with it if the Cubbies won because it was Lydia's first game, well lucky for them that wasn't necessary.

#4 Great American Ballpark is awesome, I looooove going to new stadiums, ballparks, or arenas it was one of my favorite things to do.



Now to the Goood deals part, I went shopping this weekend because I had the Give and Get coupon and I decided to use it at Old Navy. I gave Old Navy a break for a long time because I could never find anything I liked but now that I have miss Lydia I Loooove their baby clothes, I loved their maternity clothes so now they have me hooked. I got a pair of jeans and 3 shirts for $30.... what a STEAL. Oh yeah did I mention I bought a pair of Jeggings this weekend, bring on boots weather, I'm a little obsessed with boots in the fall and winter and cannot wait to wear them over my jeggings!! Matt calls them Jegs, he thinks they are silly but he won't be complaining when my almost rockin post baby bod is wearing my tight jeggings :)


hahaha (totally kidding about the rockin post baby bod, I worked out this weekend and I want to die today)

Keep it up girl. I do it mostly for my own sake, to look back on memories and milestones in my own words. It's like my own journal that other people can read. ;) Won't you miss it?

Totally keep blogging,just do it when you can, we'll be here. I don't post every day, sometimes I post three times a day.

We are headed to a Cubs game this Sat, except I can't find anyone to watch our pumpkin. I hate to take her with bc she 16 months, and she will not do good in the heat and sitting still!

Hopefully, we can still attend. I LVOE baseball games, esp Cubbie Bears.

Love the pics, glad you had fun. She does look adorable! Glad she was so great! You are brave, I always wanted to take Nik, but I was afriad it would be a disaster! Glad you found some good deals. That is the best!!
