A great weekend

We had a GREAT weekend! On Saturday, I took the boys to Nana and Pop's for a "sleepover" since Chris and I had tickets for the Astros game on Sunday. Caleb and Cole LOVE going up there - plenty of room to run around and play (and the added bonus of Pop sneaking them chocolate treats)! I came home that night and Chris and I watched part of the Cowboys/Texans Pre-Season game and then went to the movies. We saw "Chuck & Larry" at the Star Cinema Grill. Love that place - can't beat the fact that you can watch a movie AND have dinner/drinks! Plus, that place is hardly ever crowded and is mostly adults. We really enjoy that, too. I ordered the "Tenacious D-Zert Bites". It was a sampler of fried cheesecake, brownie bites, and bananas-foster with chocolate sauce for dipping...probably would have been good if they hadn't been fried in the same oil as mozzarella sticks. :0(

So, Sunday was the big day - we got to the ballpark at about 11:45 since the Bagwell jersey retirement started at 12:20. It was nice....got a cool jersey shaped pin as a momento. I don't know if I really remember the Astros WITHOUT Jeff Bagwell (or Craig Biggio). His daughters even got to throw out the first pitch - guess that's technically the first and SECOND pitches. We had pretty good seats on the third-base side...the target for several foul balls. In fact, a little girl in the row behind us got grazed by a Carlos Lee foul ball. That dude hits HARD. 'Stros won 5-4. Good day.

My sister, Sarah, was home when I went to pick up the boys, so I stayed Sunday night up there, even though school started yesterday for Mom and Ben. The boys love playing with Aunt Sarah - she lets them tackle her. This picture of Cole and Aunt Sarah was actually taken earlier this summer, but I love it and wanted to share, anyway.
