Kevin’s 21st Birthday!?

We also celebrated Kevin’s birthday this month.  We decided to head to the city get some of Kevin’s favorite BBQ takeout from Pappy’s and head to Turtle Park.  Once again happy Jackson happy dad!

For dinner we had another of dad’s favorites Chipolte followed by another family favorite Orange Leaf.  Then we headed to the Rascals game with our playgroup.  Kevin didn’t mind, it was Thirsty Thursday which meant dollar beers and the boys had friends to play with.  When Kevin went to get his first birthday beer he told the lady it was his birthday she asked if he was celebrating his 21!! Really?!?  When she realized it was his 28th she didn’t have anything else to say. 

Fun surprise for the birthday boy it was Blues night!
We didn’t get to snag any pictures with Louie.

You love to laugh, smile, rummage through boxes and bins, holler when it’s quiet, steal your brothers toys, wrestle with your brother as long as you are on top.  Make raspberries preferably on somebody else or with food in your mouth.

30th

Well the “BIG 30” has came and went!  And to tell the truth it really didn’t bother me.  I have to say my boys are to thank for that.  Being married to my best friend for four years and two handsome amazing little boys that I get to spend each day with.  What more could a girl want?

I kicked off my birthday going to get a pedicure with a friend earlier in the week.  Then we started off my birthday with a trip to the St. Louis Zoo #4 on our Summer Bucket List.  Some might think that isn’t much of a way to spend a birthday but if Jackson is happy that makes for a happy momma!
