Mother's Day

On Mother's Day we were still down in St. Louis since it was the day after our big Cardinals game.  We went to the St. Louis Zoo and it was so great!  I have posted many pictures of the zoo already so I only have a few I am going to post today.

Riley's first time seeing the elephants!

Me and my little man on Mother's Day!

There are certain days of the year that I like to
snuggle my little man a little extra. 
This is one of them. 
A perfect ending to Mother's Day!

Cardinals Game!

This wasn't just your ordinary Cardinals game.   For Christmas, Kyle's parents gave us tickets to this particular Cardinals game in the commissioner's box.  At first I did not know what this meant until they continued to tell me we get to go on the field during batting practice, our pictures taken in the dugout, seats right next to the dugout, and all the food and drink we want!!  I was SOLD!  This was going to be the most amazing game I have ever been to (although our seats at the Yankees game years ago were pretty darn good too!).  :)  So we all headed down to the "Big City" (as we tell Riley) and had the best time ever!   From our hotel room we could see right into the stadium.  We even managed to get Riley his first ball from a game and some signatures!  Here are only a few of the many pictures we took from our amazing seats!

What a great experience!  Thanks again Steve & Cindy!

Steph's Birthday!

We got back from Vegas on Thursday and the fun did not stop there!  Friday was one of my BFF's Birthdays!  This year we decided to skip gifts and just spend an evening together.  So far we are 2 for 2 on such fun nights together!  Here is a picture of the happy Birthday girl!  LOVE YOU STEPHANIE!

Just like Daddy....

Riley likes to go outside and mow the grass with Daddy.  If you know anything about my family....this is probably not the best idea, but isn't it cute??

VEGAS....again!!

Shortly after Riley and I got back from Augusta, Kyle and I headed to Vegas!  We found such a good deal that we couldn't pass it up.  The weather was great and we had such an amazing time.  Kyle took me to see three shows that he probably didn't care to see, but he was such a trooper!  All three shows were ones that will not be in Vegas by the time we go back again. 

The first night we saw The Phantom of the Opera.  We had seen this show in London 6 years ago and thought it would be fun to see it in Vegas too.  It was a great show and since it is ending in September it was our last opportunity to see it.  Or so we think....right now there are not plans for Vegas before September...boo!  :) 

The next night we went to see the Cirque show Viva Elvis.  This one is ending in August and I can't see why!  It was absolutely amazing!  I may be a little biased because I love gymnastics, dancing, and cheerleading!  As we were watching it I thought to myself, "Kyle must be hating this!"  But much to my surprise when we were leaving I told him I really liked it and his said, "Yeah, that was really good!"  SUCCESS!! 

And the third night we went to see Dancing with the Stars: Live in Las Vegas!!  I do have to say I am pretty sure he hated this show, but I on the other hand LOVED it!!  I believe it is only there until July, but if you are going to be in Vegas before then I recommend it.  It is pretty inexpensive and totally worth it if you like the show! 

Oh and of course Kyle played some poker and I spent some time at the pool!  Here are a some pictures from our 8th trip to Vegas:

Augusta

In the last post I talked about how I took Riley on his 1st airplane ride.  You may be wondering where we went......I took him to see his favorite Aunt!!  We went to Augusta to visit Colt, Amber, and Jason!  We hadn't seen them since November....5 long months!!  I wish I had a money tree so we could go see them every month!! :)

Since these two little boys don't get to spend much time together I have more pictures than you can even imagine!  They had a lot of fun, but they also had their moments....I mean, they are only 2! 

ENJOY!!  Who knows when we will have more pictures of these cute boys together!!  :)

Riley's 1st Trip on an Airplane!

In April, I took Riley on his first trip on an airplane!  I had been thinking about doing this since last fall and finally talked myself into traveling that far with him by myself.  I am not sure why I was so worried because I know he is such a good boy.  He had so much fun seeing the airport and riding on the plane.  We even had to switch planes and ride the train in the Atlanta airport!  He got to ride on a big plane and a little plane....and he loved that!  Since Daddy didn't get to go with, I took lots of pictures!
