Piper's First Haircut

I finally bit the bullet and had to take Piper to get her first haircut. She was simply getting too shaggy in the front and couldn't see, plus she hasn't been letting me put anything pretty in her hair to keep it out of her eyes. So, we loaded up our snack bag and headed to Ammie's Hair Design to get her a trim. I thought I would have my hands full with her because she hates to sit still, but she did exceptionally well! I was very proud of her and glad to be able to see her beautiful hazel green eyes again! Thanks to Ammie for always making my girls look so great. :-)

Happy Birthday Kaya & Nana!

Since there was so much going on with Jennifer's wedding this weekend, Stephani decided to have Kaya's birthday on Sunday afternoon and then Nana celebrated her birthday on Monday night with dinner and cake. So, needless to say, it was a very busy weekend for us! We headed out to Steph and Adham's place in Wentzville for Kaya's 3rd Dinosaur Train birthday! Stephani again did a great job with decorations, desserts, food and fun for the kiddos. I cannot believe how much that kid (Kaya) LOVES dinosaurs. This year, I decided to break away from the theme and got her a Cars Scooter with Lightning McQueen on it. I think she couldn't wait to ride it! Yeah! Thanks for such a great party Weeze!After all the fun at the Ahmad house, Monday night we celebrated with dinner with Nana, Pepere & Aunt Kayleigh. Then back to the house to eat cake and ice cream. The kids are so entranced with cake and ice cream, I don't think they will ever get enough to satisfy them. :-)

Happy Wedding Day to Russ & Jennifer!

Congratulations to my sister-in-law and her new husband, Russ! We were so excited to be a part of such a wonderful family occasion! The ceremony and reception were held at the Royale Orleans in South County and it was done wonderfully. We had such a great time and loved the photo booth to get our pics taken during the reception! I was really happy that my parents got to come to because my Dad just got a hip replacement on March 1st and was ready for dancing! We wish them all the best as a married couple and can't wait to see more of them together! Love to you both!

Purina Farms Day!

We made a date with our neighbors to hit up Purina Farms on the best first day of the warm weather! Actually, we were lucky it happened that way, no one really plans weather here in Missouri. :-) We loaded up the cars and headed out west, where neither myself or the girls had been before. It was a lot of fun to see all the animals and we also got treated to the first dog jumping show of the season! It was so warm outside, they used the pool! It was a lot of fun and thanks to the Hansels for making the reservations for us. I love that St. Louis has such great things for families to do all over the city and for FREE. I think we must live in the most affordable city for local attractions. Can't wait to go back in the fall! Thanks Steph, Lila, Natalie & Rachel!

Disney on Ice!

I took the girls to see their first "ice show" yesterday and I think they really enjoyed it. I got tickets for extremely cheap through our PTO website through Emaline's school and I'm so glad that I did, otherwise, I don't think that I would have done it! It was Disney on Ice-Mickey & Minnie's Magical Journey and we got to see four story lines: The Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch, The Lion King and Peter Pan and they loved it! We went to the Scott Trade Center with our coats in hand and grabbed some fun shaved ice in Flounder mugs, Flounder hats with cotton candy and popcorn and headed to our seats, which were awesome! The girls had no problem seeing all the action and it was wonderful to see them sing and dance along with the musical numbers. I love taking them to the theater or events of any kind like this, we have such a good time. Hopefully they will continue to love it!

Trip to Zoo!

My girlfriend and I decided to brave the chilly temps and take the kids to the zoo for the Delta Dental Mardi Gras! It was a lot of fun to see the kids get all worked up over the penguins and the games they had during the day. We picked up a map and got our "passport" stamped at different locations where the kiddos got to do a fun activity. The girls also got to make glittery masks and penguin beaks. It was a great day to get out of the house and spend some time with friends! Thanks to the Fedeles for meeting us!
