My weekend in pictures

So, a couple of months ago, my BFF Kristi invited me to tag along with her to Las Vegas for a friend's birthday. After being on Mommy duty for 6+ months, it was an offer I couldn't refuse. I had the frequent flier miles and she had the hotel points for it to be very cost effective.

So this weekend, this Mama went to Las Vegas baby, yea!!!

We saw the sights...

Saw a fabulous show...

Put on a fabulous show...

And spent some quality time with the best of friends...

It was a great time. I came back rested and refreshed and happy to be home with my family. And even better, I won big at an airport slot machine so the whole trip ended up free!

*Thanks Kristi for the pictures

Apparently, having you face smashed against a shoe is pretty comfortable. I especially love the tongue.

Fall Family Fun

Last week, my parents came out and spent a few days with us. We had a great time frolicking around in the fall-ness of Missouri. The best part was that last week was full of firsts for Mia and they were here to see it.

First, she is crawling! Ok, she isn't crawling like a pro yet, but she is getting from point A to point B with ease and swiftness.

Second, she has learned to drink from a sippy cup. Finally figuring out that you have to suck on the spout, not chew.

And finally, we took Mia to her first Pumpkin Patch at Johnson Farms.

They had a petting zoo with lots and lots of animals.

and a baby barn where there was a brand new litter of piglets....so cute!

This week, Auntie Cindy (Ninny) is here while Gabe is away for a few days....stay tuned!

In the meantime, a little something to tide you over:

Play time with Mia!

Yipee!!!!!

This is fun!!!!

Wait....what are we doing?
