Omaha and the College World Series

Last weekend, we got to experience an once and a lifetime event. We loaded up and headed to the College World Series in Omaha, NE. It was a quick trip, well worth the drive. We are so excited that we were invited to go watch cousin Aaron play in the College World Series for TCU. Friday night was the CWS opening ceremonies where they did the best firework show I have ever seen. Then we headed back to the condo to sleep and get up early the next day to head to the game. TCU vs. FSU. After a long walk to Rosenblatt Stadium and getting into the game, we were at our wonderful seats and ready for the game. After a scary first inning, the TCU Frogs battled back for an 8-1 defeat. It was so awesome getting to experience this and Crawford was in heaven and we can't wait to remind him of it year after year. This is the last year at the historical Rosenblatt Stadium, so it was a great year to get to go. There were tons of people, and the weather was wishy washy, but, it (again) was SO worth it!!

Tuesdays with Crawford #13...Keeping Up with Cman...

...IS HARD TO DO!!! Hey guys! Lately, we have been what seems like around the world and back again, but loving every minute of it. (Well, around the world to us is across Texas, but hey...Texas is a big state!) We are having a busy summer so far and yes, its only been summer for two weeks. But, with birthdays, holidays, and graduations, it has been a busy couple of weeks already. We have gotten to have time with lots of our family and friends and will be doing lots more throughout the summer. Speaking of traveling cross country...tomorrow we will be loading up and heading to Omaha, Ne for the college world series! Yes, I said Nebraska, but it's a once and a lifetime opportunity and we are so excited to be invited. Jason's cousin Aaron, who plays for TCU, will be playing his first game on Saturday, so we are going to drive up and see it, and then drive back. Crazy, yes...but, again...once and a lifetime!! I am running behind on putting pictures up, but will add bunches after this weekend I am sure. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day as we are having a great...Tuesday with Crawford.

Tuesday's with Crawford #12

Hello again Crawford Lovers! Hope you are all having a wonderfully hot week! (Well, we are so had to wish it on you guys also) This Tuesday Crawford has been busy again. I know, when do we ever stop?!? Well, you guessed it, not any time soon since the summer has officially started. We have been to Brooks' 1st Birthday (can you believe it?!) and this past weekend we traveled to Ft. Worth again to watch TCU take their Regional tournament to move on to next weekends superregional in Austin. While we were in Ft. Worth, we took a trip to the zoo and, even though it was 1000 degrees outside (or felt like it anyway), we had fun. Crawford loved the animals. He even called his mommy and daddy a hippo. (Can we say diets anyone?!?) Aunt Donna and Uncle Russell got roped into going with us, so they helped entertain Crawford while we all swigged down gatorade and water. Crawford thought he was extra special because he got another ball from cousin Aaron and got it signed by 5 of the players on the baseball team. It is now on the shelf with the other ball from last time we went. He also got "all frogged up" with a new TCU hat and a new TCU purple shirt so he can show his support. Of course, if the Aggies win today, then he will have to wear his Aggie hat and Horned Frog shirt or vice versa when they play each other next weekend. Speaking of weekends, we are headed for Magnolia on Friday night for Brittany's graduation party on Saturday. Man, I must be getting old, I swear she was in diapers when Jason and I started dating. Crazy how fast time goes by. As for Crawford, he is busy loving mommy being home a few days a week right now since I am only working two days at the law firm, I keep him home with me on the others. He is a bundle of boy and has recently taken up "bodyslamming" his daddy. Apparently, he was watching the big boys at the swimming pool when we were at my grandma's a couple of weeks ago. He loves playing in the dirt in the backyard and helping Jason water the yard and flowers everynight. Jason has been busy at work and started with a 5 new youth summer workers this week. He is not signed up to go work at the Gulf yet, but everytime I watch the news and see one of those poor little birds, it breaks my heart and I wish he could go help. I will be adding the pictures from our latest adventures later today, so hope you all enjoy your Tuesday with Crawford.
