Dodger blue, through and through


on august 19th we celebrated three years of marriage. we decided to do something we've been talking about doing since we got married... see a dodger game in dodger stadium.



bless his heart, my husband wanted to catch a ball during batting practice so bad and the kid in front of us caught TWO. i thought ryan was going to tackle him for it! :)

from our seats on sunday's game (we also saw saturday nights game, but the camera batteries died as we were walking in, so thankfully i brought the charger to the hotel and we were ready for day two)





such a rough life. just hanging out blowing a bubble.

i swear if we weren't so far away that he was looking right at the camera for this shot. that's matt kemp by the way. one our favs. he plays centerfield and our seats were RIGHT behind him.

gimme a pound.

kids get to run out on the field before each game with their favorite player, the player signs a ball for the kid and then the kids run back. it's so stinkin' cute!

just wanted some sunflower seeds before the first batter came up!

can you see the ball right in front of the bat? the pictures get a little grainy because we were zoomed in so far, but i still think it captured some great shots!

MANNYWOOD! that is THE manny ramirez!

had a little gathering of the minds on the pitchers mound at one point.

the batter swings and manny on second base gets ready to RUN!


matt kemp throwing a ball up to the fans. not to us of course, but probably some cute kid. i think it was here that ryan decided he has to take a kid with him next time so he can get a ball!

we had a great time, i had never been to dodger stadium, it's HUGE. these photos are all much to my fathers dismay as he is a HUGE giants fan. i tell everyone, i'm a giants fan by blood and a dodger fan by marriage. :) i will spare you the photo of how sunburned i was when we got home. that sunday game was at 1pm and we were sitting in the direct sun and i got COOKED.

here's to 50 more years of fun and games! love you ryan valentine.

being new home owners there are always "projects" to be done. the past few weekends as the weather has been getting nicer those projects have been outdoors. ryan usually digging, planting, pulling, weeding, mowing or sweeping and me... well, i photograph it all. it's the part i enjoy. and this last weekend as i felt i should get dirty and dig a little he consistently asked me " you want me to do that?" so i'm guessing i either looked way out of my element or i wasn't doing it "right". i'll stick to the photographs or maybe i'll sleep in next time. :) i enjoy my role. our herbs are begining to sprout this week. we're still debating on the garden. we were all go this weekend and then stopped to figure out how to get rid of the grass that is where we want the garden. when we couldn't come up with a "simple solution" we opted out of the garden and bought flowers for the front yard. now i think we have a solution so we migh

Tales From the Gym

That's one weird blog title, so let me fill you in... I started the Couch to 5K running program awhile back, remember? Well, I sucked at it. I can't run. It worked me to death and it never got easier. The whole push yourself each time and it will get easier and then you'll increase your running increments until you build up your stamina... yea none of that happened. I did week one like 8 times and I still wanted to die. The thought of increasing my running time made me want to stab myself in my eye. Not to mention that I'm apparently some sort of 29 year old going on 60 because OH.MY.JOINTS! My hips, my knees & my ankles cursed me daily. I loved the way I felt when I was done, but it was the getting there that just about killed me. So one day we didn't run and you know how that goes... one day turned into two months and then it wasn't spoke of again. Hubs and I had to sit down and have a heart to heart one day about getting into shape. We both needed it BAD.
