LET'S GO CARDINALS!!!

Today, I miss St. Louis. If you want a great community, great schools, and a great sports town, STL is a great place to live!!! LET'S GO Cardinals!!!! St. Louis is a beer drinking, back yard BBQ, sports town, and I am missing those things today...especially Cardinal Baseball!

Good Luck This Season STL!

Below are old pictures...Dave and I went to Spring Training in Florida with my parents which was a blast! The other pictures are the of the kids, myself and Dave at our first Cardinal game together over 3 years ago!! The kids look so little...aww.... Enjoy some older photos....

Katrina's (Jennifer Nettles) Hair Cut!

A few months ago, while watching Oprah, I told Katrina that I was going to get my hair cut this summer like Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland after seeing her sing.... I love her hair...I think the cut and style is so cute. While driving to Seattle on Friday, Katrina mentioned she wanted to get her hair cut like the girl from Sugarland (same girl I want to get mine cut after)....The remaining parts of the trip she would say, "Heather, I am serious, I want my hair cut and I want it cut now!!" ....We agreed that when we got home, she would get her hair cut!!! AND WE DID.....

her inspiration! Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland

Seattle FUN!

We loaded up the car again for the last of this spring break and went out with a bang! Seattle was so much FUN! We started off at the Space Needle and the weather was perfect. Sunny and beautiful....the views from the top were amazing! We enjoyed a beer at the top and took TONS of pictures....After the Space Needle, we went out to dinner.....The seafood was to die for...we had so much fun cracking the crab (pieces flying everywhere!!)...it was delicious. After a not so "Sleepless in Seattle" night, we were up and at it this morning for breakfast at a great local joint with great "brew" (coffee) and some breakfast. Then it was off to Pikes Market!! We had a blast at the Market. We spent most of our day there...loved every part of that. Near the Market was the very first Starbucks Coffee....Was fun to see it's history and get drinks there...We had such a great time and will definitely be hitting up Seattle many more times while living in the Northwest....Enjoy some pictures and videos!! The last four are VIDEO....SO FUN!!!!!!!!

Adventure at Seaside Beach Oregon..Heather, Miles, Katrina and Boggs Baker!

Today we went to Seaside Beach! We have been to Canon Beach three or four times so we thought we'd try Seaside. Dave had to work so the kids, Boggs and I hit the road!  I did not know that Seaside was the end of the Oregon Trail, so that was fun to see. Seaside is much more commercial and older than Canon. After today, I know that I prefer Canon Beach for a getaway but we had to try Seaside and had fun anyway...next time we'll hit Canon again though....!!! The kids and I had a blast, though cold and cloudy (most of the day) we still enjoyed the beach, Carni rides, lunch, shopping, ice cream and each other's company!!!

on the road to Seaside...1 hour and 20 minutes or so...

Miles and his favorite dog!

Ummm Snow??? Yes, it started snowing on the trip out...I was slightly bummed, confused and honestly wanted to turn around...but we dressed warm...so we continued!


The kids and I at the Beach! 53 degrees chilly!

ok ok Boggs...

Miles and Katrina

This was written in the sand....I said "oh gosh how sweet...Miles that is how you should ask your date to Prom! He chuckled..."

As I played fetch with Boggs, Miles wrote "I love HB (Heather Baker)" in the sand... I said, "oh how sweet!!!! Again, he chuckled!

LOVE HIM!

LOVE HER!

Tilt A Wirl...This was hysterical to watch! You could hear them laughing so hard!!!
