SKYZONE!

We went to Skyzone while we were in town. We invited my friend Jami and her girls and Abby's friend Michelle and her son and her nephews. We had a blast!! We were hoping to wear the kids out!!

Alex immediately got on the trampoline and started jumping

My sister came into St. Louis for part of the time while we were there. One of the reasons that she came in town was to volunteer at the MLR Open. Abby's best friend Michelle was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 at the age of 27. She was also pregnant with her first child at the time. After her diagnosis she gave birth to a healthy baby boy and then she had to undergo surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. In 2008 the MLR Open was started in Michelle's name and the proceeds would benefit young women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2 years the golf tournament has raised over $60,000. This year the MLR Open donated the money to Gateway of Hope. Michelle is truly an inspiration and I admire her strength and courage. She is the definition of a survivor!!

Our Last Day in St. Louis

On our last day in St. Louis we went out to brunch at Bristols with my family. It was so great to get together with everyone one last time before our flight home. We miss them so much!!!

Alex had so much fun with his cousins. We can't wait to see Kaia and Mason again. Hopefully they will come out to Phoenix for a visit!!

Abby's friend, Ricki, came over to visit before we left. She is pregnant with her first baby and we are so excited for her. She was so cute playing with Alex.

The boys did great on the plane. Alex kept busy watching his movies.

Evan entertained everyone on the plane by playing peek a boo until it was time to take a nap

We were so excited to see Daddy when we got home!!

Imagination Avenue

Wes and I took Alex and Evan to Imagination Avenue before our trip to St. Louis. It is an indoor play area. They have a rooms that are designed for the kids to use their imagination. Some of the rooms are a house, hospital, market and fire station. The boys had a great time and we enjoyed watching them play.
