Wow! It's been eight years already! We are celebrating our anniversary this Tuesday, August 28th and we can hardly believe it's been eight years. This past weekend we celebrated by heading up to Denver and staying the night. We got some very special treats this year we just had to write about!
First of all, we ate at Rodizio's Grill, a Brazilian Steakhouse where they bring skewered meat to your table and carve it right to your plate. They had so many different kinds of meat, plus a salad bar complete with main dishes and desserts. YUM-O!!!! Not a place we could afford to eat very often, but such a treat for a special occasion right in downtown Denver!

Our second treat was getting the most AWESOME seats ever to see our Colorado Rockies play! Most of you know that one of our great loves is baseball (we hope to someday visit all of the MLB parks - we've hit five so far: Coors Field in Denver, Safeco Field in Seattle, Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City and Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati).
Anyhow, this weekend we found some season ticket holders selling their remaining tickets on Craig's List (http://www.craigslist.com/) and we got a steal of a deal for a game, sitting two rows behind the Rockies Dugout, on the homeplate side. See this picture of our view (no zoom or anything!):

(Troy Tulowitzki is at bat, Matt Holliday is on deck - our two favorite players!)
The Rockies are definitely our favorite team. One thing you may not know is that the owners and management of the Colorado Rockies base their management and operations on integrity, high morals and traditional values. Many of the mangement team and players are Christians, although it certainly isn't a requirement to play on the team, nor is their faith shoved down anyone's throats. Here's a great article about that: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/rockies/2006-05-30-rockies-cover_x.htm
To complete our baseball experience, our presents to each other were fun Rockies tee shirts (seen above and below in the pictures), something we didn't have before to support our team. In this picture, we are wearing shirts of our favorite players..jpg)
And the final treat for us was a gift from our dear friends, David and Emily Nation: originally they were going to watch our kids for the evening while we went to dinner and the game. A couple of weeks ago, they gave us a free hotel room in Denver for the night and offered to keep Hunter and Baylie overnight for us! Thanks you guys, we love you!
Of course we brought miss Meghan with us, seven weeks old now! Believe it or not, this was her FOURTH baseball game since being born. :) She is doing very well and has her daddy's coloring with strawberry-blonde hair. Hunter and Baylie LOVE their little sister and usually are fighting with each other about who gets to check on her, give her her "binky" and put a blanket on her. Baylie is recovering from a case of pneumonia which had her in the Emergency Room for a day. She is really healthy now and thank the Lord, none of us caught it from her! Baylie is also nearly fully potty trained - we are so proud of her! Hunter is just about to start his first season of soccer. We went shopping for cleats, shin guards, etc. and he is sooooo excited! Actually, Matt may be even more excited about it than Hunter....
