Due to some last minute scheduling conflicts, Max’s sleepover birthday party was moved up a week to a Wednesday night. Being that we had a newborn, it was not ideal, but we made do.
I took the boys to a Santa Barbara Forester’s baseball game (win over the Conjeo Oaks, 7-5). They chased down enough foul balls to each have one to get signed by the Forester players.
Once at home, they had a great time playing Wii and staying up too late.

Recently, Max had told Toby that he was just not into pirates any more and wanted a new bed spread / comforter. Since Gran had hand made the pirate comforter, Toby asked Gran if it would be possible to make a different slip cover while Gran was visiting.
Gran took Max to the fabric store and he picked out the fabric that he wanted for the new comforter cover. Gran had a project and in just a few days, she made a beautiful new cover as a birthday present for Max. Thanks Gran, great job!
Toby, Max and Ro are at the Pediatrician’s office now. Lucy and I are at home. 5 minutes before we were going to walk to the office, Lucy said her tummy hurt and started barfing, so I got to stay home.
I think she ate too much at lunch. We set up her sleeping bag near the bathroom. She fell asleep in less than 1 minute.
Below is a picture of her post-vomit recuperation.
I am missing the Dr. appointment.
Poppa and YaYa were very generous in taking Max and Lucy for 5 days last week. They also had Katie, Rich, Abbie and Alex staying with them, so it was a full house. Of course, any summer stay at Poppa and YaYa’s would not be complete without a trip to Auntie Jan’s pool.

While they were with the Grandparents, the boys (Poppa, Rich, Max, Alex) were able to attend a Dodger’s game.
The tickets Poppa had were in the ‘all you can eat’ section. “For fans that can’t get enough Dodger baseball and great ballpark fare, the All-You-Can-Eat Pavilion provides the ultimate value at the Stadium with unlimited Dodger Dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn and soft drinks for fans to enjoy during the game.” Max said he had 2 Dodger Dogs, 2 nachos and 2 sodas, and was still hungry. Yikes!
Although a bit blurry, you can see Max’s excitement. I wonder if Alex was pulling for the SF Giants.
The results of so much excitement
