Our April visit to St. Louis

This past weekend Alex, Abby and I went to St.  Louis.  It will be my last trip there for awhile since DJ will be arriving in 4 months.  We had a great time. It is always nice to be there but the trips go by too fast.  Alex just loves spending time with Grammy and Grandpa. He even looked at my dad and said "Pa."  That made his day!  Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Our last flight was difficult with the car seat so my mom found this seatbelt that wraps around the seat for Alex.  He did really well and liked being in his own seat like a big boy. He even fell asleep for a little bit on the plane ride there.

My mom's birthday is April 10 so we celebrated a little early.  Bruce and Judy even brought over an ice cream cake.  
make a wish!
Alex had so much fun playing in the backyard. He isn't used to that much grass outside.  He just had fun running around

we discovered Abby has a new talent...she can blow grass and make sounds.  Alex thought it was so funny.
we went out to dinner with the family including Bruce and Judy
fun with the paper in the box
Grandpa...what are you wearing?   my dad was getting ready to go to the Cardinals season opener.  It was supposed to be 40 degrees.  But he went anyway.  He said there were snow flakes towards the end of the game.  And the Cardinals lost.

Hey Marcy! I love keeping up with your blog and seeing how your family is doing and growing:) I remember you saying that I looked like your cousin Allie....was that her in the bridal shower pic? Can't believe you have only four months left now! Two is so much fun, and it's awesome watching the boys get a kick out of being the "BIG ONES".
Take care!
