The Nevins: Cardinals and Lady Bugs!

So every year I've taken a picture of Shawn with the kids for Cardinals opening day - you know a big deal to Shawn! The kids were all excited because they know it's a big deal for daddy! For me, it's just 80+ nights of baseball on the TV - oy vay! This year's opening day was on Monday, April 12 and the Cards won 5-0.

Don't they look adorable?

That Friday night Shawn and I also went to the Cards game (sorry no pictures) and sat in the Champions Club. I got him tickets for his birthday and it was a nice night out without the kiddos. The kids had an awesome time because Aunt Alisa came over to watch them. She even went to day care with me to pick them up. Needless to say they weren't nearly as excited to see mommy as they were to see Aunt "Eesa" (as Aidan calls her)!

The next morning, April 17, we all went to Lauren's soccer game. Team Lady Bugs (as they are now called) is getting quite good. Can you believe that Lauren had 4 goals??? My little super star soccer player!

But most of the entertainment that afternoon came from Mr. Aidan.

Who would have known that a Target dollar bin butterfly net would create so much entertainment???

Found a bug!

Trying to catch the bug!

No luck - but I'm sure I can find mischief somewhere else!

Bug catching is hard work - time for a snack and a little lounging in the sun

Now let's see what Papa is up to

Alright - enough of this soccer business!

I'm bored - is it time to go????

(and yes, those are his shoes that he threw off during his tantrum!)

So that night Shawn and I had a wedding to go to (again, no pictures - sorry, who wants to see us???) - yes, can you believe it...two nights...in a row...out without kids...crazy! We are lucky enough to have a babysitter we like from Aidan's day care, Ms. Kim, so the kids again had a great night.

The next day was Maddy' Baptism - did I mention that this weekend was just a tad jam-packed????

After the Baptism we went back to Joe and Kelly's for lunch. The kids had so much fun playing in their backyard (they have a great backyard!). We had yummy bar-be-que and spent good time with the family. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time!
