...During...
Looks like Dan and Sandy enjoyed it - Sister Cindy??? :)
Minus the boys (Uncle Steve, Henry, Luke, Nick and Jack!) who were having a blast playing in the grass!
Or drinking their own fave beverage. Nick's choice was rootbeer!
Another great GREEKFEST in the books!!!
Nick's first grade teacher, Mrs. Evans, set up a special "viewing party" of the dvd she had made of all the pictures taken throughout the long year! Then we headed back to the classroom for a quick hug goodbye. Nick, Mrs. Evans and even I was crying - no joke!!! Here they are before the flood gates opened!!!
Jack LOVED his teacher - Mrs. Mondy too, although he has become way too cool to have his picture taken with his beloved teacher - at least in front of all of his classmates. Thankfully, he agreed to snap this quick pic on the wait out of school!
***I was SO looking forward to an amazing summer - and that is just what we had - unfortunately, as I write this, I am gearing up to start seeing students in just one short week!!! Where oh where does the time go???
Here we are before the concert began! Even though Jon kept us waiting...I was still all smiles!
And how could I not be - he is such a cutie - and a great singer!!!
Dan ain't too shabby either! Check him out singing like a rockstar!!!
A late, but SUPER night!!! Until next time, Jon!!!
Just a few days later, he was able to run wild at his soccer/bouncer party at Vetta! The birthday boy was ALL soccer - I don't think he ever set foot on any of the bouncers!!! But boy, oh boy, did he enjoy playing soccer!
Even though Nick didn't try out any of the bouncers, Luke sure did enjoy them...(pardon the sock- not sure who that is...)
...so did I...(as I'm preparing to climb through one of the large inflatables there - with Aunt Jackie, Uncle Steve and Henry looking on - complete with camera!)
...and even after the slip n slide "incident" of last summer - so did Nana!
I do have to admit though, that the bouncers were SO much fun!!! Here are Luke and I enjoying the big bouncer!
Good thing Dan and Papa were there to keep an eye on us!!!
Before we knew it though, it was time for cake! Of course - SOCCER themed!!!
The smiling birthday boy strikes again!
After presents it was time for a picture of the crazy crew!!!
Happy birthday, to my snuggler, Nicky D!!!! We love you!!!
Then it was off to the stadium. We signed the boys up for the Cardinals Kids Crew - gotta love their Cards duffel bags...
...and Cardinals silly bands!
Since we already had our dessert, it was obviously time for dinner - hotdogs!!!
All in all, yet another awesome game at Busch - AND another win!
But the best part of the night was celebrating the birth of our oldest son, John Daniel Morra! We love you, Jack!!!
Here are my boys before the game began - we got there SUPER early so we could get a glimpse of batting practice!
Since it was a Sunday game and we were sitting in the rafters, we all got a free hot dog and a soda - looks like Nick and Luke are enjoying theirs!
We did manage to get a pic of me and my boys!
Our view from our seats! I just LOVE Busch Stadium!
Jack and Nick watched the entire game. Luke hung in there for a good while but did get a bit bored, so I did what any mom would do and I gave him my old camera to play with! He managed to get this shot of me - hmmm, maybe we have a little photog on our hands!!!
While Nick was swinging like a crazy man! :)
Thankfully Aunt Jackie helped Luke - he was having a tad bit of trouble figuring out the mallet...
Uncle Steve and Dan watched the fun...they were just getting tips from watching the little Morra boys play! :)
Thanks for a day full of memories Nana and Papa - funny, but I have not pics of you two - let's just say they got lost in the computer crash! :(
