Turning Two!

This past week Brindi turned two years old. It is crazy to think how much she has changed in such a short time. We were watching some old videos of her from when we first moved to St Louis and were shocked at how much she has grown and developed. It has been a fun ride being her parents.

Celeste's parents and brother Brennon were also able to fly out for the weekend and celebrated Brindi's birthday with us. Talk about your day full of Elmo. Brindi was spoiled with a homemade Elmo cake and Elmo cupcakes that Celeste and her friend Tasha made the night before (3 1/2 Hours), Elmo himself, and of course her own cell phone that has Elmo talking. With all the Elmo's and the many of gifts she received she was quite the happy little girl. We want to thank everyone for all the cards and presents.

At It Again

This past weekend we headed to Quincy, IL as Celeste was running the Bridge the Gap to Health Half-Marathon. Again, she asked me to run it with her and again I was bailed out by another friend in the ward. Thank you Rachel. We headed up Friday night and went swimming at the hotel which Brindi had a blast swimming and made it difficult for us to convince her to get out. Early the next morning Celeste and Rachel took off down the road. It was a freezing, windy day but that did not detour them from their goal. Celeste was able to take off 9 minutes from last year's time and took 3rd in her age group. Good job babe!

Birthday Date

I got the best birthday surprise this year! On saturday I came home from my volleyball game with a letter addressed to me. Joe was so sweet and got us great seata to the Cardinals game and he even got a baby sitter. It was such a nice surprise! We had a blast. He even spoiled me more today with breakfast, flowers, sunglasses, Mexican food, and a clean house! Thanks babe for a great day! And thanks everyone for the cards, presents and phone calls!!! It has been a great Birthday!

New Pets

Do you see it? Look close, right next to the brick. It looks like we got more than we bargain for during Easter. Our neighbor almost mowed up a batch of baby bunnies this week and in the process scared them into our yard and under our deck. Now we have these little guys running all over. Brindi loves having them around. I don't mind them as long as they stay out of our garden.
