Look Who's 9 months old!

We can't believe Haylee turned 9 months

on September 23rd! Where has the time gone?

She is just amazing and we can't imagine life

without her. Lately she is really big into her

stuffed animals (we call them Stuffies!) so

what better way to spend your 9 month birthday

than with 9 of your closest friends!!!

Winery/Hermann MO Trip

This past weekend, Chris & I drove to

Hermann, MO to check out the family-owned

wineries. It was a weekend getaway to celebrate

our 5th yr anniversary which was on Sept. 4th.

We both had a fantastic time together and our

hearts are very healthy thanks to all the Norton

wine we drank (and took home!)

I love you babe!

Dinner at The Cottage...
cool fork & spoon napkin ring holders!

Haylee's Baptism Weekend

This past weekend was Haylee's baptism.

Chris and I were lucky to be joined by

many loving, out of town family & friends.

Saturday, our family ventured out to the

Faust Park Butterfly house and Carousel.

Haylee and her cousin Holden had a great

time in the butterfly house checking out all

the amazing creatures flying above their heads!

(Us adults thought it was pretty neat too!) Daddy, Haylee & Mommy inside the butterfly house

Christian had a special friend land

on his shoulder for about 10 minutes!

It was amazing watching Haylee look and try

to touch the butterflies. She loved it!

My best friend Ericka (who is Haylee's godmother)

joined us too!

Saturday evening, the whole gang

went to dinner at Wild Horse Grill...

It was nice, relaxing and the kiddos

were on their best behavior!

Nana got Haylee this cake for the luncheon

Kimmswick Trip

So, what else do you do on the Saturday of

Labor Day weekend?

That's right...headwest to Kimmswick, MO.

A little crafty town

off of I-55 past Arnold. It was my 1st trip to

this hidden "country" town and Haylee plus

Holly, Abby, Stacy and Stefanie decided to

meet at the Blue Owl restaurant for lunch!

The Blue Owl is well known for its great food

and even better desserts!!!

We had a great lunch indoors on this rainy day!

Haylee even wore her owl outfit and her
owl Robeez to dress the part!

5 years and counting!

Our 5 year anniversary was Sept 4th

and Chris surprised me with TWO dozen

white roses (my favortie flower) early

morning when I was getting ready for work...

I fixed him cinnamon rolls and the day

was off to a great start!

Later that evening, Chris surprised me with

dinner reservations at Monarch. Our friend Stacy

watched Haylee and we had a very nice,

relaxing and delicious dinner.

Monarch's exec chef was featured in the new

September issue of Southern Living--so for

all you SL readers--check out Josh Galliano!

I had a delicous bacon wrapped chicken loin

on top of buttered grits with muschrooms and

a mixure of snow peas and french cut green beans!

Fantastic!

Chris devoured his top grade seared tuna

with quinoa and roasted zucchini.
