july holiday - baseball

The Rogers family loves to go to a Card's game when everyone is home for the big 4th of July bash.

Here are some pictures of our crazy, funny family!

Me & Kevin

We had to arrive several hours before game start time because it was replica jersey night... I made fun of Kevin for wanting to go sooo early, but the line was crazy long to get in and apparently I didn't understand the dedication of true St. Louis Cardinal fans because if we hadn't gone so early we wouldn't have gotten a jersey!

Since we were early though we had time to go see the 2011 World Series trophy!

We also got to see Carlos Beltran's 2,000 hit... cool!

Claire got a better view than the rest of us!

We're making silly faces!

They are both in the air force and the ceremony was in a beautiful chapel on the base!

Congrats Paul & Krysten! We're so happy for you two!

love, marriage, and cookies!!!

This past weekend we visited Pittsburg, PA for Kevin's cousin's wedding and were able to spend an extra couple of days there for a mini vacation with some of Kevin's family. It was great! The wedding was so much fun and I loved the town! We crammed a lot of activity into our couple of days so get ready for a whole slew of posts about it!!!

Here's the newly married couple!

Kevin & I all purdied up :)

Eric & Casey

The brothers looking sharp in their various shades of blue

Kevin's cousins  (and uncle)

I tried to get Kevin to take a "cute" pic and this is the best we could do. Guess "cute" isn't our cup of tea.

Yes, we got stuck driving the "kids" around :)

Maybe we're not so far from being "kids" ourselves

Love this pic of Kevin's parents!

Another shot of us - we stopped at a wine bar on the way to reception! The sangria was mmmm

All parts of the wedding and reception were beautiful and fun, but I've got to give a big (5 picture) shout out for my favorite part... the cookie bar!!! Each mother made 40+ dozen cookies (that's 80+ dozen total) for this delicious appetizer/dessert/snack bar and I LOVED IT. I can't wait to use this idea for my next party

I'm not gonna lie... I ate a lot of cookies and even was able to take a few to-go to snack on the rest of the weekend. love love love
