What a beautiful weekend!!!!

Now that I have to go back to work-BLAH-the weather has gotten BEAUTIFUL:):) We took advantage this weekend and spent A LOT of time outside-I went on a long run Saturday morning, we took Mia to Drost park and played, the joined the Red9Runners at Bobby's for ice cream, grilled out, went to lunch outside, went to Woodland Park and played outside in our yard! Whew! Hey-we had to take advantage of it NOT being 900000000 degrees outside:):) Here are a few pics of our outdoor weekend:

A visit from some Chicago friends:)

My very good friend, Lauren and her hubby, Keilan, always come down to pick blackberries at Eckerts in August...but this year, Keilan, had quite the opportunity to go see the NFL Hall of Fame inductions along with an amazing weekend of extras. Needless to say, we missed Keilan lots, but were pretty jealous. So, Lauren brought her sister Stephanie and niece, Bella, with her instead. We had such a great time with everyone!

This year was quite interesting berry picking, as we have both had additions-JT and Mia, since our last picking extravaganza:) Plus, it was just a little HOT out-but we braved the heat and managed to pick 5 full buckets.

Then, Saturday after the kiddos all went to bed, we left Shane at home, and the ladies headed out to Bailey's Chocolate Bar in St. Louis-YUM!!!! It was a fun night of friends, chocolate martinis and some pretty amazing chocolate desserts!

Here are some pics of the kiddos playing:)
