Guys Night Out

Matt has been working super late lately, his hours always depend on what jobs he has going on in the field. Some weeks he gets home at 6 every night on the dot, and sometimes he doesn't get home until 7 or 8 or even later if he is out of town for the day at work. 

Well, Mr. Case man has been testing, testing lately and Matt and I were talking about it, and we figured that little man probably needed some one on one time with one of us. We both decided that it was about time for a guys night out, I know Daddy was missing both of his boys as much as they were missing him. Rhetter's is still oblivious to guys nights out. So, he got to have some one on one time with Mommy, and Daddy planned a night out with just his toddler tonight.

I don't think there is a better guys night out than a baseball game! :)

I think it's safe to say that Case was pretty excited! 

A "Bay Ball Game!"

I just need to start out by saying, Case LOVES baseball.

It is precious.

So, when our church put up a contest for a chance to win tickets to a Lexington Legend's Baseball Game, we definitely entered! Well, come to find out they announced us the winners at church on Sunday...but we were in Ashland! Ha!

Matt was able to pick them up the day of, and we were so excited to take our boys! 

We are so thankful for the contest, such a fun unexpected family night!

Case watched the game...I mean, seriously watched the game.

If someone in front of him blocked his view, he would move so he could see again. He cheered in the right places, threw his hands up with in the air with a "Aww man! Try again!" when there was a strike out. It was hilarious, and pretty adorable to watch. 

Rhett was an angel. He just sat on my lap for about 3 hours, laughing and watching his big brother. Wide eyed watching us crazy people yelling, clapping and cheering for the game! He was just taking it all in!

I'm still not sure there is anything cuter than little boys in baseball hats...

. . .

Funniest part of the night though...Matt caught one of the soft baseballs they were throwing into the stands, handed it to Case, and Case threw it right back into the stands!!!

Everyone was like "Awww...No!!!" HA! 

Somehow, Matt caught another one, and we quickly put it into the diaper bag. Case has been playing with that one all morning. :)

After that, Case stood there with his hand out, I think he thought Daddy caught them from the actual game, so he stood ready to catch one...

(How cute are those pudgy little toes at the bottom of this picture?!)

 Last inning, trying to help win the game with their rally hats on! 

 The fireworks after the ball game were so great! They had great music playing behind the show, and the boys absolutely loved it. I was pretty nervous that Rhett would be scared to death, we were ready to get out of there quickly if he started crying and screaming...but to my surprise he just cuddled with me and watched the entire show without a peep! Case said "Fireworks! Mom! Dad! Fireworks!" He talked about them the whole ride home, saying over and over "I had fun at fireworks! Fireworks Mommy! Daddy! I had fun at fireworks!"

Such a fun Friday night with my little family.

Our Little Baseball Lover!

Matt bought Case a little T-Ball set at Wal-Mart, and we couldn't WAIT for our little baseball lover to try it out! He caught right on, and even throws his bat on the ground after hitting it, takes off running, then slides face first while we yell "Safe!" 

The Ball Park

Whether it's watching Daddy play softball, or watching his cousins play baseball and t-ball, we quickly discovered Case loves being at the ball park. He actually watches all the action, and claps along with the fans. Love it.

His shorts got a little heavy from playing in the mud puddle, how priceless is this picture?!

She is a fellow softball wife (also pregnant!) and was snapping pictures one night at the ball park, she brought Matt a CD, we popped it in our computer and fell in love with all of the pictures! Aren't they gorgeous??
