ELMO Live & E-man's birthday

I am a little behind on this blog but this week I have been consumed with MOPS stuff.

WARNING... LOTS OF PHOTOS IN THIS POST

Anyways, last weekend my parents, Rachel, Matt, Elliott, Kevin, and I went to Kansas City for a little trip. We spent the night in hotel on Friday night and came back on Saturday evening. It was too short for me but we had a lot of fun. On Friday Kevin, Zachary, and I spent the day looking for furniture and items for our basement. We ended up meeting Mel, Wasson, and Charley at T-Rex for dinner. They were also in KC for the weekend. The kids were shocked when we met up for dinner.

As soon as dinner was done we rushed back to the hotel to decorate the room for Elliott's 3rd birthday. Within 30 minutes my parents, Rachel, Matt, and the birthday boy arrived. We celebrated E's party with ELMO cupcakes and gifts, followed by a dip in the hot tub. The next morning we popped up early to hit the Sprint Center for ELMO Live. The boys had no idea we were going there. They were SO excited. Grammy's and Pops got us the best floor seats so we could see everything. The kids really enjoyed themselves and each other. After ELMO we went to Fritz's Railroad Restraunt for lunch. The kids and the guys enjoyed the trains that delivered the food to the table. After lunch we headed home.

Funny/cute things that happened on our trip:

The boys had several surprises so after every event they would say "Another surprise?"

Elliott and Zachary were in separate cars. When we would depart from one place to the next, Elliott would say, "I really miss Zachary".

We had a wonderful weekend full of fun and memories!
