Weekend in Pictures: St. Louis

The boys and I made a trip back to St. Louis for Scout's 30-day post operation follow-up and decided we would make a fun weekend out of it to celebrate Sawyer's birthday.
We jammed packed our two days there and Sawyer even said it was the most fun weekend EVER! He was obsessed with the view from our hotel room, Busch Stadium!

First stop was the doctor's appointment, which I am happy to report went great. He got a clean bill of health and a full release with no restrictions!

Then we headed to Ikea, the Turtle Park (it was 75 degrees out!), a trip up to the 360 bar/restaurant at our hotel for view of the city, and finished the night with dinner at Llywelyn's Pub in Soulard with my family to celebrate my cousin's engagement.

Saturday we got up early had breakfast at one of my new favorites, Snarf's, and went to the City Museum. We could have spent all day there but needed to head home so finished off the weekend with lunch at Kirkwood Station Brewery.

Sawyer's 4th Birthday Party

Yesterday I learned that trying to get photos of little boys and girls at a birthday party is practically impossible, however....I was able to capture some pretty fun moments from Sawyer's 4th celebration.
He wanted to have it again at Hammons Field Training Facility and this year we even had a bounce house and a surprise appearance from the Springfield Cardinals Mascots, Louis & Fetch! They totally got mobbed by the kids but were great sports. Scout had a blast too, enjoyed crawling around and seeing all the other kids playing.

My mom made the most adorable Paw Patrol cake, that was a huge hit with the kids! I ordered some coordinating cookies from Stacey's Sweets in Ozark. 

Thank you to all Sawyer's friends and family for coming to help him celebrate. Also thanks to Scott with the cardinals and of course Louie & Fetch for their time. Sawyer was tuckered out after and could not stop talking about how much fun he had! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have a four year old!
