Matt and I visit Ohio

A few weekends ago Matt and I traveled to Ohio to visit the family. He did so well on the flights, now that he has his own seat it is great. He played with his hockey guys almost the whole time. While we were in Ohio we got to spend lots of time with my family and even checked out the Lake Erie Monster's hockey game. Of course Matt loved it.

Bathroom Remodel

Our master bathroom had a leaky faucet and when we went to fix it the project turned into more than expected. We ended up getting a make over of our entire master bath, it looks great and I love it. A big thank you to Brian's mom and dad we couldn't have done it without you.

Papa Soeder Visit's St Louis for Halloween

Papa Soeder came in to visit and stayed with us for almost a week. It was great having him around, Matt loved that Papa slept over and enjoyed every minute of it. He would get up every morning at 6am and come out of his room looking for Papa, not even a good morning Mommy, just a "Where Papa At?" I think Papa had a great time too, Matt wore him out but he loved it.

World Series and My Crazy Boy

We are the Champions!!! World Series Champions that is. Brian and I got free tickets to Game #2 of the World Series in St Louis. The Cardinals lost this particular game but we still had a great time and we won the series so it is all worth it.

Me and my hubby at the game 

 Matt found his gloves, hat, and boots and was being a ham trying them on

 Doing some karate moves

 Eating some "matoes"and laughing at mommy's jokes

 He just had to wear his skates while he played hockey the other day (we have a future pro on our hands)
