MVC tournament and other pics

This past weekend we went up to St. Louis to the Missouri Valley Conference Basketball Tournament. The Youngman and Brooks clan met the Thrailkills and Trowers up there. It was a pretty good time, despite the fact that we waited practically 3 hours to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. At least we got to shop a little! Needless to say, we were all very hungry and took some cheesecake to go! I recommend the Dulce Caramel something rather (I couldn't pronounce it and had to have Matt Trower translate for me). After all that waiting, I managed to order a plain old cheeseburger. I was trying to make a fast decision, but that certainly didn't pay off. It was not so good and DEFINITELY not worth the wait. Oh well, I had good company to eat with. After dinner, we headed over to the Trower residence in St. Charles. We watched miss Adyson go to bed in her cheerleading uniform and ate our cheesecake. It was so good I even ate it for breakfast the next morning. Cade did pretty well on his first overnight stay. Here are a few pics.

Changing Time!

Cade and his mommy (who never gets her picture taken with her boy!)

My cousin Sarah and her son Owen are now here to visit for 2 weeks. In that time, Owen will celebrate his 2nd birthday! We're so excited we get to spend it with him! We haven't seen each other since Christmas, so we were all anxious to see how Owen had grown as Sarah was to see Cade. Owen is quite the big boy and just cuter than ever! Here are a few pictures of the boys.

Owen-getting bigger by the minute!
Cousins

Big boys do it too- Cade has been teething I guess and chewing on his hands quite a bit. I got a quick picture of the two of them with their hand in their mouth. Too cute!
