June is already here. Wow. With our interesting living situation at the moment, we have had some trouble updating. Sometimes, you just can’t find a hotspot, you know? [Disclaimer: Geek jargon ahead] I’ve tried using the Jiwire widget but it hasn’t been too helpful. Oh well..
Over the past couple of weeks, however, we have had some notable events. I’ve uploaded a good amount of photos to our Lately set too. But here’s a bit of an update:
Brighton ditched the training wheels and is now an official two-wheeler. He’s still a bit shaky but once he gets going, he has pretty good control of the bike and can stop himself from falling over. Cool stuff, right? It was pretty neat for me to see him do it too. At first he just wanted me to hold onto the back of the seat. Then I’d let go and he’d coast a few feet before promptly directing his bike toward the grass to crash. But after a while, he got a feel for it, and you could see him working it all out himself. Taking control of the bike. Getting the whole balance thing going, pedaling and keeping the handle bars steady. I was surprised how quickly he got it. I don’t remember riding two-wheels at 6…
I like this picture of Keane. He still isn’t sold on being outside. But I think he’s coming around.
He likes to smile more inside it seems. 
For my Birthday, I went to a SL Bees game in the afternoon with Brighton, and in the evening we all hung out together, grabbed some italian food (Keane slept while we were at the restaurant..yeah!), rented some DVDs, and had some good family time. It was fun.
Here Brighton is on the Bees kiddie train that circulates the ballpark. We also visited the “Funzone” area where all the kids go when they need to stretch their legs a bit. We did this all during the 3rd or 4rth Inning, so we didn’t miss much of the game.
I love Franklin Covey Field. It’s a beautiful ballpark. We were in the Red section, right near third base. It was a great game by the way. We won, so that is always nice. Brighton and I cheered and had a lot of fun. We got there a bit before the game started (2pm) and it was a bit overcast, but an hour or so later, it was blazing down on us. It was great.
Isn’t this picture the coolest? It’s awesome to me seeing Brighton with a bunch of kids leaning over the wall, talking to real baseball players. Trying to get a stray ball. He did get a signature, which is cool.
Here’s Keane in a baseball outfit, all smiles. Now if he were wearing black pinstripes and he lost the red (Go Yankees!) he’d be really stylin’. But he’s a cutie nonetheless.
