Sarahpalooza....

A few weeks ago was a big milestone for Sarah....she turned 30!! We all had a very busy week with many festivities all week long. It started out with a wonderful surprise party that her parents gave her and ended with a wonderful girls day spent at the local wineries! In between then we took it old school at Winsteads and got some rays sittin by the pool!

I'm gald that Sarah had a great birthday and I am happy that I got to be such a big part of it! Heres to 30 more.... :)

All the girls were able to take off of work and we all spent the day at the pool!

Who doesn't love a Skyscraper from Winsteads! We had dinner there before we went to see a movie! It really took me back to High School days and we all had alot of fun there, something that we should definatley do more often!

We really had alot of fun visiting some of the local wineries! We had lunch at De Capo Teas in Platte City, which was very good, and then made our way to the wineries! It was nice to have some girl time, although there were a few girls that we did miss on our outing!

Pirtles was definatley our favorite place! They had a really nice area to sit outside and have some wine and cheese! It was a little hot but we toughed it out!!! Can't wait till we do it again!

Bad luck.....

So those of you that know anything about me know that I don't have the best of luck in the "health" category. Well know I have seemed to pass it on to others in my family! Abby, Bailey, Mom and I went to West Virgina for a little vacation. One day into the trip I had to take my mother to the ER and she was then admitted into a small hospital because she had pancreatitis! My dad had to fly down unexpected and she ended up having surgery there and she finally made it back home a whole week after she was to have come back home with me and Abby. It was a very rough couple of weeks but we made it through!

Some funny things did happen too, like when Bailey walked out of the airplane bathroom with her pants around her ankles and walked all the way to her seat with her bare bottom showing!!!! I guess she was just to excited about the airplane ride that she forgot! Here is her picture of her first airplane ride!

We had gone to see our Uncle and they have about 21 horses so the first morning we were there Bailey got up and got to do the morning chores of feeding all the horses and sheep. She absolutley loved it! I'm not gonna lie it was alot of work and took about and hour!

Later that day we took the Metro into DC. It was pretty late in the afternoon by the time we got there so we really didn't get to do much, we were planning on going back the next day and that night is mom got really sick! All Bailey kept saying was that she wanted to see Barak Obamas house and play with his children. She didn't get to see the White House and I feel bad about that. Hopefully we will get to go back!

One day while I was at the Hospital with mom. My aunt let Bailey ride one of the horses. She thought that was really awesome because she just loves horses.

Here is a picture of my poor mother! She is NEVER sick, so this just took us all by surprise since it came out of nowhere! She tried to get us to leave her there and go out and do some sightseeing things but we wouldn't have ever left her!

In the airport on the way home we came across these cutouts of the Obamas so Bailey took a pic with them since she didn't get to see thier house.

Nap time...

Unfortunatley this Mothers Day I was sick and actually spent the whole day in bed! Bailey and Mom decided to come in and take a nap with me! Abby took a pic of us while we were asleep and I love it! Even though I was sick I still got to spend some time with my mother and my daughter, even if we were all sleeping! :)

I love you guys!

Opening Day 2009!

This year I was VERY excited about going to Opening Day being that I had not been able to go the past two years. We had a great time!! The new stadium was gorgeous and I am very excited to spend many days and nights at the K this summer! Even though we didn't win it was still a great day!

The new K is awesome! I suggest that everyone get out there at least once this year to see it! All of the new things and places in the outfield are so neat!

Easter!

This year we took Bailey to a few of the easter egg hunts they had in town on Saturday! She was very excited and had alot of fun at both of them. Unfortunatley Bailey had one to many pieces of chocolate that day and it didn't sit well with her stomach so she found herself getting sick that night when she was trying to go to bed! She woke right back up that next morning though and wanted to go straight back to that candy! This year she wasn't afraid of the easter bunny!!! She went right up to him to get her picture! She got a really nice easter basket Easter morning, mom made a wonderful lunch and we all had a very good day!

"Bobby" was home for the weekend and Bailey made sure that she saved some of her eggs for Andy! She loves him so much and we are all sad that Andy will be staying in Maryville again this summer! :(

The beautiful eggs!

Day trip to Tulsa!

A couple of weeks ago Mom, Abby, and I went to Tulsa for the day! When we got there we had some lunch at a new resturaunt in our old town of Jenks and then we found a really neat park where Bailey could play! The park was awesome. I wish that we had one like that closer to us! We then did some shopping and alot of driving around! It was a good day. It was nice just to get away for a few hours!

All of us at the park!

These are cheesesteaks from one of favorite places to eat in Tulsa!They were just how I had remembered them!

Bailey and Abby had some fun in the back seat on the way home! I think that they probably took almost 50 pictures of themselves!

The girls Sunday funday!

This afternoon Mother, Abby, Bailey and I went to the movies. We went to see Monsters vs. Aliens. It was cute. They also have it in 3-D but I don't really think that Bailey would have kept those glasses on the whole time! After the movie we had lunch at our favorite burger joint, Five Guys! It was a good day and it just makes me thankful for my wonderful family! Heres a few pics from lunch!

Bailey loves playing with the i-phone, this one is some app on Abbys phone that will fill with a drink and then you put it up to your mouth and it will empty, like you drank it! She loves it! It is really funny that the four year old can work the i-phone all by herself. It won't be long and she will be asking me to buy her one.....and the answer will be NO WAY! :)
