Heart Walk thru downtown

We all thought it would be fun to do the Heart walk in downtown St. Louis for John Thurston's employer, McCarthy.  The walk began and ended in Busch Stadium. 

The kids climbed the sculptures along the way and got a drink from a water hydrant!

At the end we all got to circle the Cardinals' baseball field!

Ivy has another birthday!!

April 28, 2012

Ivy's 2nd birthday begins at Paul's Donuts!

She gets a step stool for her "new" bathroom custom designed by maw-maw.

She is swimming in Papa's pool in her new striped swimsuit.

Isn't this cake fabulous!  Dora, of course.

Spring Visit to "my kids"

 My budding artists.

Ivy stars as the Little Mermaid :)

A trip to Fritz's.  Ivy has a "baby cone."  Ollie climbs the fence.

 The girls and I took the kids to the Arch.  Ollie learned that we have the only Arch in the whole wide world!

Laker Game Kiss Cam

April 3, Lakers vs New Jersey Nets. Kobe bouncing ball to right.

Here we are before the game. Note the scoreboard hanging from the ceiling. During a quarter break they do something called Kiss Cam. They play "I Got You Babe" and cameras go around and pan on couples in the stands. They are supposed to kiss. And it is shown on the scoreboard in Staples. Stu and I were on camera! I think they liked the Laker "L" on my cheek. :) Fun night. (Lakers won)

We made the LA News. Here is a pic of a clip they showed on the news!
