Kyler's Birthday!

Kyler's actual birthday fell on a Thursday this year.  Erik had been looking at the Twins baseball schedule earlier this spring, and thought it would be fun to take him to a Twins game on his birthday since they had a home game at noon on that day!  So, we got up early, loaded up in the truck, and took off for Target Field at about 8:00 am.  Norah and I almost didn't go, as she had had a runny nose and hadn't been feeling very good and hadn't slept well for the past week.  But, at the last minute, we decided to just go, and I'm so glad we did because she slept the best she had in a week.  We got to Target field at about 11:45, and ate a quick lunch (that we had brought with us) and then headed into the game.  Our seats were on the first level right past the 3rd base line, they were great.  It was a bit chilly as we were in the shade, but it was fine, it was a beautiful day out!  Norah got a bit ancy and I had to take her out for a while, but then after we came back she fell asleep.  Kyler did great and sat with Erik the whole game.  The game itself was good, the Twins were behind in the beginning but then came back at the end and won the game!  We actually left right before the last inning because we had already been there for 3 1/2 hours, but it was a great game.  If you ask Kyler how the baseball game was, this is his answer, "There were fireworks but no horses!".  This is because if you remember this post, Kyler went to a game last fall with Erik and Erik's dad.  At the game, they had the Budwiser Clydesdales and so Kyler was expecting that they would be there again....he was a little disappointed. :)  Here are some pictures from the game:

After we left the game, we just headed home.  The kids both fell asleep not that long after we got in the car, so that was great.  We made a quick stop at the outlet mall (by my request) :) on the way home, and then stopped for dinner at Culver's.  We made it home about 8:00, it was a long, but fun day!

When we got home, I realized I hadn't really wrapped any of Kyler's birthday presents (oops!) :).  So I quick wrapped a couple of them so he could open something on his "real" birthday. :)

Opening presents 

Some Thomas Train Track! 

Next present...

A baseball tee!! 

He waisted no time setting up the track :) 

Had to swing his bat too :)

Kyler still had a few more presents to open on Friday, so we opened those up Friday evening after dinner.

We had a great time celebrating Kyler turning 3!  What a blessing he has been to our family the past three years!!!
