Another BRAVES Game!!

Kody and I had so much fun the night before we just had to see another game featuring our favorite team!!

This time we took the girls with us.

Check out our red and blue! GO BRAVES!!

It was a gorgeous night in Seattle.

Braves dugout..wow it's Brian McCann!!

Jason Heyward

Chipper Jones

and we can't forget Ichiro. He hit his first home run for the season first inning!!

Braves win 5-4. It was a great game!!

Upclose and personal with Brian McCann or atleast as close as we are gonna get!!

It was a BLAST!!

Seeing the Atlanta Braves..a Dream Come True!

The Atlanta Braves only come to Seattle once a decade.  I have been wanting to see them in person forever.  Kody and I used to watch ever game on tv. One year we could recall batting order and averages from memory.  We were bummed when TBS quit playing the games.  You can only imagine our excitement to get to actually see them in person.

We made it for batting practice.  Never done that before.

It was so much fun.  We sat on the first row right down first base line. Then moved to right field where:

Kody got a ball!! I actually corraled it and he grabbed it!

His first major league ball and hit by his favorite team.

Can it get any better?? 

The pitcher Beachy walking straight towards me.....Ok not exactly to me!!

Brian McCann warming up the pitcher.

And it gets BETTER: a view behind home plate.

Then we get a couple texts saying we were on tv..

The Braves win 3-1

At this point we thought it was the PERFECT night!!

So much fun!

Then the next morning find out we made the high lights on MLB.com.

Ichiro's Nice Grab
I look really stupid, but Kody looks great!!
What an incredible night!

The Tacoma Invitational

Kody qualified to run in the Tacoma Invite at the historical Lincoln Bowl. I have to admit it is a pretty cool stadium.  Kody had been fighting a cold/flu all week so we were a bit nervous.

Warming up just before the race.
