Cute Moments

Sophie has taken an interest in wearing other people's sunglasses lately. We bought her a sweet little pink pair of her own, but she refuses to leave them on. While we were home in Michigan she found this pair belonging to Nick's Aunt Sue. She entertained herself for quite awhile with these.

Doesn't she look beautiful?

Sophie learned how to play peekaboo while we were home. I had yet been able to catch her on film doing it though. Today Nick was able to get her to perform!



Last night the four of us went to a Junction City Generals baseball game. The General's are a semi-pro team here in town, and the games are really fun. They are very family friendly, and we always have a great time. As we were driving to the game, I realized I had forgotten my camera. I figured it wasn't a big deal, because we would probably be going to a game every weekend for the rest of the summer. Boy was I wrong! I missed several cute moments!

While the rest of us sat up in the stands, Benny wanted to be a little closer. He found the perfect seat right up behind home plate. He's a friendly kid and was all smiles as people passed. Eventually the General's mascot came by. Before we knew it, Benny was down on the ground doing push-ups with him. We could see the mascot directing Benny to do things, and then Benny would do them. It was really cute. When the General left, Benny came running up to us to tell us all about it. Nick asked him what the General had told him. Ben's response? "Silly, mascots don't talk, you know that!" What a funny boy!

Ben resumed his seat up close. A few innings later, we saw a young female employee talking to him. Next thing we know, they are climbing up the stands to ask us if Benny could be a guest announcer during the sixth inning! Benny was all for it, and went with the girl back to his seat. She had a microphone with her and they sat right there and announced the inning. She would whisper to Benny what to say and he would repeat it. First, 'Hi, I'm Benjamin, and I'm your guest announcer!" Then he announced each player and their position as they came up to the plate. He even got to yell "Home run!" when the General's knocked one out of the park. Each time after he spoke he would look up at us and smile and wave. He was so excited. It's going to be hard to top that at the General's game next weekend!

Such a cute moment, and no pictures to prove it!
