I can't believe that my FIRST game of the year was in August! This was the first time in 5 years that I have not been at the home opener for the Mariners...guess I took most of the season off as well! Thanks to Grandpa Mike, we had 4 tickets to the Mariners / Royals game on Sunday, August 30th. Uncle Chad was supposed to go with us, but they changed his schedule at work, so Ryan got to bring his friend Gunner from his baseball team. It was also Lexi's first baseball game!
We got to the game nice and early, here are Gunner and Ryan, aka Griffey and Greinke! Gunner did decide he should support Ryan and sported a KC visor! 
How cute is this pic??
Since we got there early, Ryan got to go watch Greinke warm up, Ryan was in Awe! We were approached by a very nice guest services person in his segway and he told me that their was a "mothers lounge" at Safeco, so Lexi and I had some privacy so I could feed her, that was a really nice surprise. They also gave us a certificate to commemorate her first baseball game! Cool!
"Evil Uncle Scottie" and his girlfriend Erin came to the game, luckily, the seats behind us were empty so we just spread out. Derek's friend Butch joined us as well, we haven't seen them in a while, so it was great to catch up!
Lexi did great at the game! She rode in the baby bjorn for a while, had some lunch, then took in the sites and promptly fell asleep. When she was awake, she got to hang out with Ryan for a while, she LOVES it when he holds her. Most Mom's would be mortified as he jumbles her all around, but she never cries when he holds her...no matter how bouncy he is. :) Ryan is very sweet with her!
Lexi constantly having her hands in her face/mouth. 
The whole gang...Ryan, Gunner, Lexi and Derek, in the row behind them is Butch, Erin and Scottie!
That Sunday was "run around the bases" day at Safeco, so Derek took Gunner and Ryan down on the field and they got to run around the bases...they thought that was very cool!! (plus it was Ken Griffey Jr. Backpack day, so the 3 kids all got backpacks...Lexi will have to grow into hers)
Me and Lexi....just an update on the thumb....she has found it, she can consistently get it into her mouth, but it is usually followed either by the rest of her hand and fingers or gagging sounds...lol. She doesn't really know what to do with it...and in all honesty, she has started focusing on her feet, she grabs them both and holds them up while you change her. It's really cute!
Here they are after running the bases! A great time was had by everyone! They boys also got certificates saying they got to run around the bases, Safeco is on the ball with the certificates...lol.
Thanks again Mike for the tickets, we had a blast! I do have videos of the base running and Lexi's first 7th inning stretch, but those will be in another post.
