Take Me Out to the Ball Game

On Friday night, Josh had gotten tickets through work to take us all out to a Cardinal's Baseball Game. We had a great evening of baseball and family fun watching the Cardinal's. The boys and I had to have several potty breaks to go walk around and keep us from bothering too many people around us but mostly they did really good and enjoyed the night. Baseball does get a little long and not always the most exciting for a two year old. Both the boys loved all the music and clapping going on and we had really good seats that kept them into the game when something was going on. Bransen's favorite part besides the gummy bears Josh's friend gave him was the Redbird character. Brayden liked having his own chair. Here are a few pictures from our fun evening at the Cardinal's Ballgame. 

Go Fly a Kite and Park Play

Some fun pictures of our friends at a playdate at the park flying kites and our MOPS group at the park playing. 

 Friends at the park - Brayden, Tyler, Avery, Mary Kate, Bransen, Kaden and Sophie

 Not much wind this day so we had to run but did get them up in the air. The kids had a blast flying their kites.

 Several chasing after Brayden once his kite was in the air, so cute to watch them excited about the kites.

 Bransen giving the kite a try. 

 Sweet friends Manning, Warner and Brayden

Family Fun on the Farm at 2 Mule Junction

Mother's Day Weekend my Aunt KK and Uncle Jim had a huge family get together on their Farm - Two Mule Junction in Ada, Oklahoma. We had about 30 family members come together to celebrate Birthdays, a Wedding and semi family reunion. What fun family time we all had together on the farm making great memories. We made the long 9 hour drive to Ada Friday night. We got to stay in the bunkhouse/barn with most of my immediate family of 9. Amazingly enough the boys were able to go to sleep with everyone in one big room. We all played really hard ALL day long Saturday! Then Sunday Josh fixed Bynum Breakfast Burritos for all and we headed back to STL. Very thankful we endured the long drive for such a fun memorable time with family! I will let the many many pictures tell the story of our time at Two Mule Junction.
