We were invited to the JDRF Awards Event on Tuesday this week and it was followed with an M's Game! I wasn't thinking we'd actually receive an award this year as we didn't raise as much money as we had last year (last year they mailed us an award)...but I was wrong and I'm glad I was. I had already told Zane that we probably wouldn't be getting a plaque this year and that that was OK, but we would have a good time watching other people receive some awards as well as his friend Luke receive a plaque for being one of the ambassadors for Beat the Bridge this year!
The awards event was at the Ellis Pavilion inside Safeco - right after we checked in and got our name tags the guy behind the table said he had something for Zane...it was an award!! The smile on Zane's face was priceless - he was/is so proud!
After checking in - we headed to our table where our good friends the Bergman's sat with us! Luke and Zane were having a little too much fun and we had to remind them to be quiet a few times - but I LOVE watching these two grow into such good buddies and have such a good time together! I really think they are so good for each other!
After the awards were all handed out and dinner was over - we all headed into Safeco to enjoy an M's game! This was Zane and Landon's first time (that I can remember anyway) inside Safeco - they thought it was pretty cool.

We last for I think half of the FIRST inning, haha! Neither Josh or I are very big baseball fans and Landon was beyond restless - we decided to go over and check out the playground they have inside the stadium (whoever thought of this idea is a genius). The boys had a great time running around like the crazy boys they are!
We had another event that we wanted to hit up that night by the house, so after playing for a little bit the boys and I started to head out. Just as we were getting ready to leave the playground, Luke and his parents walk in! The boys said a quick good-bye; Josh stayed to hang out with them (since he had to work in a couple hours right next to the stadium) and the boys and I headed for the car.

What a fun night - thank you JDRF for inviting us and paying for our game - sorry we didn't make good use of the tickets!
