WOW - Lucas Oil Stadium!!!

On Saturday, August 16th we headed to the new home of the Colts - Lucas Oil Stadium. We were lucky enough to get tickets, which sold out in 20 minutes. (thanks to Mommy still being on maternity leave when they gave them away) It was Dad/Grandpa's birthday, so we made a fun day out of it! On Friday nights news, they were talking about how there were to be 200,000 people downtown Indy and parking would be a major problem. So.... we decided to leave home early. We arrived downtown, finally found a good parking space and headed to Weber Grill for Dad/Grandpa's birthday dinner, which we all enjoyed. After dinner, we walked and walked to the new Stadium. It took our breath away the moment we walked in the door. It is BEAUTIFUL. We were able to meet the owners of Lucas Oil.... Forrest and Charlotte Lucas. They were very nice and wished Dad/Grandpa a happy birthday. They signed the Lucas Oil Map for us and loved Liam. In fact, EVERYONE loved Liam. People we didn't even know were taking his picture when he was on the turf! Even though he is mine, I can honestly say he looked adorable in his head to toe Colts gear! We probably had 100 people (no kidding) ask us where we got his Colts shoes - the Colts Pro Shop. Anyway, we were able to see a lot of the stadium. We walked by the suites, colts locker room, and went in the visitors locker room. It was pretty cool. After we left the stadium, we went outside and searched for Liam's brick. His birth gift from Great Uncle Tim, Great Aunt Sharon, Laura and Hannah. We had no idea where it would be, but we kept looking and looking. Finally when we gave up and decided to head home, Dad/Grandpa spotted it. So, we sat Liam down and took several pictures. We loved the brick and are so glad they got it for Liam. It will be something he will always treasure. We are going to try to take him every year and get his picture beside it. Thanks again - Great Uncle Tim, Great Aunt Sharon, Laura, and Hannah. It is awesome!

We headed home - all of us exhausted and Tim with an injured foot. (which he ended up going to the doctor and we are still waiting on the x-ray results)

Happy 57th Birthday Dad/Grandpa! We love you and hope you had a wonderful Birthday!

Bye Bye - RCA Dome

Liam's 4 month pictures...

OK... so FINALLY here is Liam's 4 month pictures. We took him to L.Severson Portrait Art in Westfield. It took SO long to get the pictures back. We love the pictures, but do not recommend the photographer because of the long wait and poor customer service.

Liam's 5 month photo shoot....

Every month we take Liam to get his picture taken. Here are his 5 month pictures. Believe it or not, we have not received the 4 month pictures yet. As soon as we do, we will post.

(Here is Liam with his FAVORITE toy. He LOVES her. Her name is Sophie, which was the name given to her by the company that made her. This toy is on www.safemama. com (our favorite website) as the safest toy on the market. It can be found at www.landofnod.com or Nordstrom. She was on our baby registry and Liam received her for Easter from Grammie and Grandpa.)
