Great Weekend!

This weekend Ben and I went to up to Belleville (IL near St. Louis for those who don't know) to visit my family. We hadn't been able to make the trip since Thanksgiving and besides seeing my parents in April for the New Orleans trip, we hadn't seen my family since... way too long. While there we got to see go to a couple baseball games (including one Cardinals game), Ben played golf while I shopped, and then just spent some great time with friends and family. Here some pics from the Cardinals game....

It was Daniel, Stephanie, Ben, and I who went to the game.... but who else did we run into?

IT'S JENNA!!! Who would have thought that I'd have to drive 7 hours to see this pretty face?! She and some people came up for the weekend for a getaway and happened to have the same Saturday night plan... beers at the bar then baseball (no beers for me of course).

Good for us the Cardinals won, scoring the winning run in the bottom of the 8th inning, so it was a perfect night and not too hot.

Check out this girl's hair from Kansas City... looks like a triple bump-it to me!

And lastly, here's a picture of Ben and I in front of the Stan Musial statue. It's a little dark, but we were there...

As far as baby news goes for those inquiring minds looking for an update, we received some big news this past week.... Baby Bevill is a GIRL!!! She is healthy and growing. I can feel her moving more each day. Her name is going to be Wylie Jane Bevill.

Growing and Growing

Back in March Ben's dad, brother-in-law, and Ben not only expended our garden from last year, put also planted a lot of great veggies and flowers. Here's how the progress is coming.... The first picture is the side view where you can see the whole garden. In the forefront of the picture is what I like to call squash and zucchini domination... look how huge those leaves are!

Here's a close up of a squash that is just about ready to be eaten...

The herb section of the garden...

Pretty soon the garden will be balanced out with tomato domination on the opposite end of the garden. 

Here's a cucumber well on it's way to being in a nice garden salad or dipped in ranch for a snack.

Zucchinis and tomatoes that have made their way inside...

Gladiolus are finally blooming...

Speaking of growing... here's a picture from last week when I was 18 weeks along. Baby Bevill is growing nicely and soon, we'll know if BB is a sweet little girl or handsome little boy... watch for the update!
