Pittsburgh

 For this years stadium we decided to make the five hour drive to Pittsburgh.  Stephen Fife was going to be there pitching for the Dodgers so we thought it would be fun to see a new stadium and also see him.

 The boys did awesome on the drive over!  We got there and went straight to our hotel checked in and then took the subway to the game. 

 We were so impressed!  It was such a cool ball park!  I think behind Wrigley and Fenway this would be our third favorite!  Who would have thought!  It was a smaller one and just beautiful. 

 We all had a great time!

 It was so much fun watching Stephen pitch.  He did great and Jacoby loved that he knew the pitcher, so did we actually!

 We went back to the hotel and had a cookie and Jace insisted on sitting in top of his brother while he ate his cookie.  It was so funny!  Good thing Jacoby is such a good sport and according to Jace looked like a nice chair for the evening.   I stayed and put the boys to bed and Jarod headed out to meet up with Stephen.  He got to go and hang out with all the Dodgers and sit through interviews with Stephen in his hotel room.  He had a great time and got to live the major league life for the evening.  I read my book Unbroken by Hildebrand in the bathroom all night and finished it.  Can I tell you how amazing it was!!  Seriously one of the best books I have ever read. 

 The next morning, we went and had breakfast with Stephen.  The boys were excited to see him.  We got to catch up and hear all the baseball scoop.  He is so nice and it is so much fun to see him do so well. 

Then we got in the car and drove to Columbus where Mike and Alana Contreras had just moved back to.  I was so excited to see them!  We hadn't seen each other since Jacoby was a baby and since then she has had a few more babies.  It was so great to see them and catch up.  I love her!  She is such a great mama and I have learned so much from her over the years.  She was the first one that challenged me to get in touch with my mama instinct and to stick with it.  She is a big advocate for cosleeping and extending nursing and it is so nice to have some one with the same believes that you have. 
We had the best weekend!
