Cheers to 3 Years.

Although this is a little late (I have some catching up to do--who blogs while on vacation?), the sentiment and importance is the same.

On our anniversary we went to a Reno Aces game (AAA team) without the munchkin.  We even paid the extra $2 for seats instead of sitting on the lawn!  Actually, we really liked where our seats were--nice view of the field and bullpen.  Not that we watched the whole thing...3.5 hours into the game, the score was 10-5 and we were only in the 7th inning.

 

As luck would have it, July 26th was also $.50 hot dog night!  Instead of going out to dinner, we ate at the ballpark.  In addition to hot dogs (which were less than awesome, but worth 2 quarters) we had nachos and a big drink.  Well, we had most of the nachos...some didn't quite make the walk to our seats, but the nacho cheese stain came out of Russell's shirt quite nicely--don't worry.  Here are our spoils: 6 hot dog wrappers formerly wrapping 6 hot dogs.  :)

 BIG thanks to Ty's babysitters, Travis and Melissa Neu.  Ty has a fun time playing with them...so do we!

One of my gifts to Russell (in addition to a remote-controlled helicopter) was tickets to a taping of "The Price is Right" when we were in SoCal.  Yes, this was a present for me, too, but it was SO fun!

 No, we didn't win any new cars, but we were exhausted after hours of waiting around and a seriously high-energy show.  We'll be going back for sure and we'll bring you with us.  (Thanks for watching Ty, Mom and Tina.)  Don't forget to watch the show on November 10th!!!  We look like this:

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Russell.  You are my favorite: favorite friend, favorite cuddler, favorite bug-vacuum-upper, favorite toast-maker, and favorite husband.  We have a fun time and I'm happy to have many more fun times in the future.  Thanks for having the chutzpah to find my number and ask me out.  I'm eternally glad you did.  Love you, Rufflebumpkins.
