Memorial Day Weekend

Sunday we all headed over to Carlyle for a Memorial Day Pool Party at Aunt Barb's! Ollie has been waiting for this since the last labor day pool party! Of course there were lots of boiled peanuts! Ollie told Uncle Larry "the peanuts we have at home are dry!"

Paula's brother was in town for a visit and they brought their son, Justin with them.  He is 10 and him and Ollie played well together all afternoon!  There was finally another boy for Ollie to play with!

Aunt Barb finally got her turn with Ivy...just took a bit of help from a Dora doll!

Ivy loved the slide! She doesn't even mind going under - what a little fish like her momma!

Ollie and Justin were both trying to get on this raft to ride it like a horse.  It kept flipping over.  I remember when I used to do this with my cousin, Teresa, when we were little.  We would try to get on those rafts together for hours!  Oh to be young again!

It was the perfect day for a pool party.  It was in the upper 90's and the water was nice and refreshing!  We have another pool day at Erin's today!  Great weekend!

Ollie filled his vase!!!

Ollie finally filled up his vase! We have been working on filling this vase with decorative rocks for 2-3 months. He would earn 1 rock for being good at school, 1 rock for being a good listener at home and 1 rock for reading a story to mommy at night without complaining before bed! His prize was the new Star Wars Xbox 360 Kinect game!

Heart Walk at Busch Stadium!

This morning we went on a 1 Mile Heart Walk at Busch Stadium. John's company, McCarthy, was a sponsor! Me, Ollie, Erin, Ivy, Maw Maw, Papa, Grandma Pati, John & Paula all went! I forgot my camera. Paula took a lot of good pics for me!

Ivy is waiting patiently for the walk to start!

Ollie & Ivy have light up hearts on their shoes!

We are trying to get out of Busch Stadium to start our mile walk!

Ollie is checking out one of the fire trucks that was holding up the American Flag!

A water fountain head hooked up to a fire hydrant!

Climbing on the art work!

Check out the arch in the background!

Inside Busch Stadium on the track surrounding the field!  Very cool!

Ollie was a sour puss by this time and did not want  his picture taken :( Oh well...maybe next year!

Mother's Day Weekend!

Saturday we went to Papa's to go swimming in his pool!

Ollie & Ivy are dancing while eating their chips!

Sunday, Mother's Day, Erin and I started the day with a 7 mile run.  Then we took Mom and we all three got a pedicure.  Then we had a BBQ at our house later for dinner.  Maw Maw is playing army with Ollie at the park while waiting for dinner.

Mom got lots of stuff to re-decorate her hall bathroom!

All the mom's got a small flower pot to take home.

Happy Mother's Day!!
