The Giles Invade St. Louis and CONGRATS Mr. & Mrs. Z

Six Flags...here we come!!

St. Louis was ready for us and we were ready for it!  Let me tell you the Giles' know how to jam pack a weekend. Thursday to Sunday was completely full with family, fun and laughter.  Megan was a stunning bride and the wedding was beautiful.  All of the festivities gave us time to spend with relatives we don't often get to see...and I met many of Bill's family members for the first time.  Carson did great and he LOVED spending time with his big cousins, I would say he was maybe even mesmerized by them.  He had many firsts on this trip...first airplane ride and he sat in FIRST class, first wedding, first suit, first carousel ride and first time at a water park.  I was so proud of my boy...he was smiling ear to ear the entire trip, just taking it all in.

On a side note I can't believe our baby is just about 7.5 months old now.  He has 3 teeth, his newest one just popped up about a week ago (upper eye tooth).  His smiles and endless expressions never cease to amaze me.  I love how his eyes light up in delight in the smallest pleasures.  Currently he babbles a lot and I swear I hear him saying "MAMAMAMA"!!  I will catch it on video and post next time. 

Enjoy the pics from our long weekend in St. Louis...we had a blast!!!
