Wedding

Jonah's teacher from last year got married and asked me to do her pictures. What an amazing time. A beautiful but HOT day! :) Congratulations to Patrick and Kellie. If you are looking for a wedding photographer please go to josephotography.com. They are an amazing studio.

I have not posted for a while... shame on me! Well, kids started school. Yea! Good, good times I must say. Jonah and Abby LOVE their teachers. We have been kinda nuts over here... the car died and so we are now driving a mini-van. Yes, a mommy mobile. What else... oh , our beloved dog Jack is very sick. We are making him the happiest dog with whatever time he has left. Hopefully it is months away.
That is about it for now. Just a little catch up for you all!

Adventures in Canning

Peach Freezer Jam

So I made home made Peach salsa and freezer Jam. Yummmm!! Hope it tastes good! We had drama trying to find jars. We still have a lot of peaches. Pies??!!!

Peaches!!!

Today we went to Eckert's farm to pick peaches!! What a fun time! Who knew that you could pick 15 pounds of peaches in like 5 min. :) We drove through Alton and came back via the ferry's. Peach pie, here I come!!!

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!!
