Happy Birthday Time

I am just going to do this all at once!! August is a busy month for bdays!!

First, today is mine (25th) and my grandfather's bday. Yes folks, my grandfather is lucky enough to share his bday w/ his eldest grandchild. In fact, up until about my 18th or 19th bday we went to lunch on our bday. He would even come and get me out of school if it fell on a weekday. I wish I had a pic of us together, but they are all older. I should scan them. Maybe I will later! Anyway here we are at Christmas w/ our "others".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PA!!!!!

Next we have Uncle Luther, his bday is August 24th! Have a great one.

Then there is Andrea (AKA Andy Leigh). Have a great 25th bday on 8/26!

Last in John's mom, Elaine. Her bday is on Aug. 30. Hope you have a great one!! We love you.

Claus in America and a Baseball Game

Friday we flew to Little Rock after work. Saturday - I did some shopping w/ Elaine while John and John just hung out. They met up with us for lunch. Then it was off to Karl and Kat's for the Claus reunion. We had a great time, got to see alot of people and even had a home-made Slip-n-Slide!!

All the Guys - Karl, Eric, John, Claus the Dane, Matt & Mike
Some of the girls - Me, Leah, Kat, Kristen & Audra

Why are our husbands so crazy??

The first attempt on the Slip-n-Slide (dish soap included).

Kat adding the Canola Oil - It smelled like french fries!

Peeps w/ Claus

Kat & I - I stole this from Kat, but I love this pic of us. We always manage to take good pictures!!

Sunday we got up @ 5 to drive back to St. Louis in order to make it to the baseball game @ 1:00!!! IT WAS HOT, but we managed to enjoy ourselves!!

Elaine and John before the game!

Rick Ankiel - recently called up from the minors and just in time! The Cards needed some excitement!!

John and I in the heat!!

American Idol Concert

So, last night I randomly got tickets to the American Idol concert from work. The concert was great and I loved it. Here are some pictures:

Me & Pooja in the Scottrade suite.

Melinda in a Cardinals hat.

Cardinals Game

Last night was Scottrade night at the ballpark. So we went. IT WAS SOOOO HOT!!! At least the Redbirds won!

We are headed to Little Rock tomorrow via jet plane! A exchange student from John's high school days is coming in town and we are going to see him and hang out with all our peeps there. We will be getting up extra early Sunday morning to drive back to St. Louis w/ John's parents in order to make it to the baseball game at 1:00. Pray that the weather forecast changes. At this point is it going to be 103 and completely sunny (that means no clouds people).

New Stuff

So here is my new dining table that I got from mom's store. I LOVE IT (thanks mom). Here it is all set for our dinner guests on Friday. Georgia and Scott came over to catch up. We hadn't seen them since their wedding in May. We had a great time and need to make a point to get with them more often. I even broke out the fondue pot and made chocolate fondue for dessert!!! YUMMY!!

Saturday I went and got a massage and pedi in the a.m. Then I spend the afternoon by the pool. John and I went for an evening walk. When we returned this was in the mailbox.

Here is John new jersey from his dad. He wishes he was McFadden. He calls this his Heisman pose. What a goober!
