Brooks Turns 11 - 2025

 July 23rd, my sweet boy turned 11 years old. I know I say this every year, but the years go faster and faster with every birthday.  We surprised him with tickets to see the Padres (his favorite team) play the Cardinals in St. Louis. After celebrating his big day with friends, we headed to St. Louis for the weekend. When asked where he wanted to have his birthday party, he just wanted to play dodgeball at the trampoline park with his buddies.  So, that’s exactly what we did. 🎉

And let’s not forget his BIG night out with Mimi and Pawpaw at Marketplace.  I was in New Orleans for meetings, and caught the last flight back home at 1:00 a.m. on the 22nd so that I could be at the house when he woke up.  Thanks to the best Mom and Dad for taking him out while I was flying home. 

Then, off we went to St. Louis on Friday!

Watching them warm up

Darvish signed his shirt - he was so kind. 

Loved running into my college bestie and her girl!

We sat right behind the Padres dugout and Brooks got to see his favorite players up close and personal. Padres WON too!!  It was such a fun day. ⚾️
