A Birthday and Mother's Day Weekend of Fun!

Hey hey, I'm old! Boo!

Well after last weekend's whirlwind trip to San Diego, things got right back into the swing of things with the visit of Grammy T, Aunt Natalie and our cousin Ophelie from France this weekend.  It a great weekend and wonderful birthday with family and we did some fun things together too!

Let's get started!

Friday, Daddy took off work and Aidan had a in-service day so all of us (Grammy, Natalie and Ophelie) headed to the St. Louis Zoo for some zoo fun times!  Now if you would have asked me if I would ever go to the stinky zoo for my birthday, I would have said never in a million years, but now with kiddos they like it, and I like seeing them have fun.  The zoo was crowded, but we got some good shots of the animals.


Mommy lion resting above her cave


Ethan's favorites!!


E and the Leopard


Great shot of a Black Rhino!


Our zoo just had a new baby elephant, I'm not sure that this is her...but it is a baby amongst those giant adults!


Here we are on the zoo train!  


And the trip wouldn't be complete without a ride on the carousel!!

Now, Friday night was a big event too for the boys as they had their first baseball games...at the same time!  So Mommy and I were running between fields to let the boys know they were well supported!


Big Batters!!


Aidan bonding with his team....


And warming up that arm...


Swwwwing Batter!!  Keep those eyes open Mookie!!


There's a good hit!  Go Ethan Go!!!  Nice form....if we could just get him not afraid of the ball, he's got it folks!  Indeed!!


Made it to 1st base!!


Aidan has it too...but he's a lefty...yep, writes, throws and does about everything else, but hits left...and hits left very well!!

Well it wouldn't be complete without some video.  A few notes...first, yes I had goobers on the camera lens.  Second, listen to the absolute dirt ball, piece of work Missouri in-bred parents cheer that their kids' team got Ethan "out" at the end of E's hit.  They don't even have outs in Kindergarten and Preschool baseball.  In fact, you're lucky if they run to first base correctly...so cheering an out...you are white trash.  Nuff Said.


Now onto Daddy's Day....we went to our go to Mexican place for dinner, which as always was fantastic.  Being it was my first birthday there, my boy Javier, brought the gang over for the celebratory singing of "Felices Cumpleanos"...little did I know that he had something up his sleeve....


Yada yada...happy birthday...


Yep, he did it....I still love ya La Carreta...best Mexican food in the world.


No Daddy Birthday is complete without a DQ Ice Cream Cake....THE BEST!!


Aid had another baseball game on Saturday, this time we had him rockin' the stripes!!  Nice...

Mother's Day was a cool but beautiful day here.  We had brunch at Old Hickory and got all dressed up to look great!


It's us!!!


The Frost's and French!


Hey nice Indian Pashmina :)


The big guys on a gorgeous day at the Links.

Grammy brought some gifts to play with and the weather was just about right to fly them...


Here we go....Let's go Fly a Kite...


Up to the highest height....


Hang on to it Mooks!!


Angry Birds...flyin' high..


Captain Ethan did awesome...watching it sail!


It was WAY up there, I had all the string out!


Then the wind died down and it was bubbles time...and of course...


Baseball time again!?

That's it, a great weekend and birthday.  Thank you to Mom, Natalie, and Ophelie for coming over and seeing us.  Thank you for making my Birthday fun and exciting and we can't wait to see you again!!!

Love you all.

That's all for tonight,  Have a great night,
Ty, Emmy, Aidan and Ethan
