Fun stuff, but more to come

STL Zoo

The Missouri river
Can you believe it is this green in July??!!!

We went to the Mark twain caves and downtown Hannibal, MO. That was a fun day! The kids passed out on the way home!! Than later in the week we went to the Zoo with Shannon and Nikki and kids. We are so blessed to have a wonderful zoo. What a day!!!

Happy 4th of July!

We didn't even have to leave the house!!! It rained this 4th of July, but there was a big enough break for the neighbors to shoot off some fireworks! Yea!! We sat on the back patio and watched them for a LONG time. Thank you to everyone who protects our freedom!!

Jonah turns 7!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!! We went to TR Hughes ball park to watch the Rascal's play. Jonah got to have cake and pizza and the mascots came to visit! I think his favorite part was the throwing out of the first pitch! He also got an autographed ball. It was SO hot, but the kids had a blast. Happy Birthday Jonah!!

Juggling act Jonah got to help with the card trick!

Sorry this has some motion blurr. She was moving quite a bit... go figure, she is a character.

Abby was not having any of her and her snake.

Fairy Tea Party in the forest

We had a fun time this weekend! There were some really odd people, and some really cool people too at the renaissance faire. The kids got to collect stamps from the different characters and watch juggling and see pirates and fairies... It was a gorgeous day to be outside.

Conference in AZ

In N Out!!


James had a conference in Arizona. I got to tag along for a few days. Dad came out to watch the kiddo's (they all did great!!) so I could join James. We had a great time. Friends to see and pools to sit and read by... all while James had to work. :) It was nice to have some kid-free time to just be adults for a few days.
