Beautiful in KC


Nina had her last softball game this week. The girls really have improved over the season and they actually won their last game. They finished the season 6-4 which is a 1000 times better than last season.

Nina had a busy week up in Iowa for the first half of the week. Grandma Marsha took her shopping and swimming. Papa Dave and Great Grandpa took her golfing too. They were both very impressed with her golfing skills which are probably tons better than I'll ever be. Grandma Marsha brought Nina home on Wed for her softball game so she got to spend some time with Julia too.

What a very nice weekend in KC!! Friday night Mark and I went to the Royals game with our good friends Steve and Beth. The Cardinals were in town so the stadium was packed. First we met up with my friend Jeff who was celebrating his 36th bday!! Plus Jeff got us our tickets so big old thanks to him for that. The game was great as the Royals won 7-2.

Saturday night was a nice evening of hanging out with friends. Chris and Renee with their kids, Tim and Steph and Toby & Kori with their daughter came over for a cookout. It was such a beautiful night that we all were able to sit out on the patio all evening. It even got to be a little chilly once the sun went down.

Today Mark, Julia and I went to the downtown Art Fair. We haven't really been down in this area since it opened. There are just a ton of new restaurants that we need to try. It's such a nice area too and very easy to get around. http://www.powerandlightdistrict.com/ At the art fair we found very cute pictures for the girls' rooms. Each is a picture of a princess with different sayings. We also found a couple of fun little prints of dogs. A black lab with a martini and a dachshund with a beer. Haven't figured out where to put them yet but I think they'll make great conversation pieces. We ended up going to Gordon Biersch Brewery for lunch. It was surprisingly good. I guess i just don't expect much out of a chain restaurant especially chain breweries. But it was very good and about average in price with every other restaurant for lunch these days. We also ran into Mike and Margie and their girls. Always fun to see friends when you're out and about.
