This past weekend we got to enjoy an Angel game with Owen’s little league team. I remember being at an Angel game years ago when it was little league day and thinking….holy sh*t there are a lot of little kids here (this was pre-children!) But it was a fun little day…we left Ella with Nana so we could enjoy our little man fully. It was a LONG day so I’m super happy with our decision to leave her home.
The parade for the boys/girls started at 1:30.
Only 7 out of our 12 team members came to the game…but our season did end 3-4 weeks ago. But we all know how busy May and June are for families. Anyway we arrived at the stadium at noon. The lets boys run like crazy before the coaches lined them up for the parade. They got to walk around the in-field. I’m thinking us parents were more excited for them than they were. haha
Once the “parade” was over we all headed back to our cars and sat, chatted, ate and hung out! I found it very relaxing with only having Owen to worry about! haha If only I could have a few drinks….boooooo. (or maybe it was a good thing, even though I did NOT see any Anaheim pd walking the lot like back in April 2010 boooo remember Erika and Cindy)
It was a 5pm game. So we headed in around 4pm to catch some batting practice. I have NEVER been to a game that early before! Usually we are too busy boozin’ it up (and getting tickets haha) in the parking lot to worry about warm-up. But it was fun for Owen to watch and see if they would give him a ball.
As I had this hat on I thought about the only other time I have worn this hat…it was back in 2009…and my baby was really a baby…
Our lives were a lot different back then.
Same hat, same seats, same people but wow how things are different. Back in 2009 when I was wearing this hat I was doing so because my hair was thinning so badly from the first few rounds of chemo. I remember us being so nervous to have Owen out in such a huge public place. I was smiling and Yosh was smiling but we were masking the absolute fear that was going through both of our heads. Back in September 2009 I couldn’t even imagine what our lives would be today!! Happy, genuinely happy, no faking it anymore. Healthy! Expecting baby #3…at that point we thought Owen might be an only child because of the damage chemo could possibly do to my baby-making parts. Gosh. We are blessed.
Its crazy the memories and feelings that wearing a random hat can do to me. All game I felt like I hadn’t been to Angel Stadium since Sept. 2009 and actually I have been a good few times since then.
But it was a great day. With some fun people!!! Can’t wait to be with them again in fall to start the challenge of Single A baseball (machine pitch…yikes)
