Oh yeah, one more thing...



Our new backyard


WE MOVED!!!

Don't ask me why we decided to go to Napa the week we were supposed to close on our house! We were SO fortunate to have been able to sell out first house we owned for a little less than what we owed. Considering the market we took it as a victory. We are SOOOOO happy to be in our new home. It is in the neighborhood across the street from our other one but on a big piece of land with a beautiful view, a pool and room to grow! Reilly has been great but is starting to get a little more independent. With a little assistance from furniture he is walking all over the place and has decided that he does not like when he doesn't get what he wants. Since he has been such an amazing baby Billy and I really don't know what to do! All in all he is still amazing, sleeping all night, has a ton of personality, 6 teeth and talks up a storm.

Most importantly Frog will be turning 1 in 2 and a half weeks!!! I can not believe it!!

Mom and Dad get away for a weekend

At the Castle that was on the bachelor

Suzette and I before one of the best dinners I have ever had at Redd
On the way to Alcatraz

Aside from a quick turn-around trip to Vegas a few months ago Billy and I have not been away since Rei was born. We were able to take a trip to San Francisco and Napa with some very good Friends of ours for 5 days in May. As much as we LOVE Reilly and LOVE being with him it was SO nice to get to sleep in for 4 DAYS and get away from our stressful jobs. Everyone kept asking us what wineries and restaurants we were going to go to before we went...my response was always "I don't really care, I might sleep the whole trip!" As it turns out we did not, we spent a great night in San Fran, stayed at the Mark Hopkins, had a great dinner and went to Alcatraz. When we got to Napa I truly think my blood pressure fell through the floor! We enjoyed great wine, amazing food and the most relaxing weekend the two of us can remember in a long time. We can not wait to go back!

Trip to St. Louis

Reilly loved watching the planes and the trucks on the runway!


The whole crew


I think Grandma Suzie Q was in heaven!!

Gettin ready to go see my cousins

We were able to sneak away for a long weekend to St. Louis in the end of April for Aubrey's (Reilly's cousin) third birthday. We had a GREAT time catching up with family and friends. I always love making it back to the midwest, it is so relaxing and I love the weather...humidity and all. Reilly was great on the plane and had a great time playing with his cousins and aunt and uncle (and of course Grandma Suzie Q and Grandpa Bill)!

Reilly's First Baseball Game






It has been FOREVER since I have updated this, so rather than cramming it all into one post I am going to pretend as though I have been keeping up on this.

In April we brought Rei to his first baseball game. Billy was SO excited that the Cards were playing in Phoenix...it was fitting that his first game was a Cardinal game! We had a great time, I was able to go see clients in PHX before the game then we were able to enjoy a beautiful 70 degree evening at Chase Field. As usual Rei was pretty much perfect, he was smiling at everyone that would look at him, slept for the 4th and 5th innings, woke up to catch the 6th and 7th and overall seemed to enjoy himself!
