St. Louis & Kansas City

We went to St. Louis a couple of weekends ago to see Luke and Brittney. 

We had so much fun spending time with them and watching the 

kids play (and fight over every toy), we're so glad we have family a car ride away!

On our way back we stopped in Kansas City to see some of the church history sites.

The kids did great, we were worried they would be bored, but there was fun stuff for them to do at the 

visitor's center.

Avery

Avery has become a little obsessed with Fancy Nancy.

She uses the big words she learns in the books and

she always wants Fancy Nancy hair.

So because I spent 30+ minutes curling it, and because she 

patiently waited for that long 

only asking if she could look in a mirror and see,

we decided to do a little photo shoot.

She's beautiful!

Independence Day 2012

This year we had an awesome 4th of July! The kids were so excited

to go to the parade..Avery even remembered details from last year, her memory is crazy!

It's in the cutest little neighborhood, and the floats are homemade. We went with

a couple of other family friends, it was so fun!

After the parade, we went out to eat and took the kids home for naps.

Scott was a little sweetheart and took me to the mall after they woke up, the sales were worth it!

We had a BBQ for dinner with friends, and of course I brought my camera and didn't

take any pictures, but the food was so yummy and we always

love hanging out with them. We saw a few fireworks as we 

drove home, but 10pm is way too late for these kiddos..maybe next year.

We're so blessed to live in this country and celebrate our freedoms!

movie night

A few nights ago, Avery was begging to watch a movie after dinner. Usually we go

outside and play to burn some energy before bedtime, but it was over 100 degrees outside,

so we opted for a movie night. 

Poor Jax and his pink blankets...half of his life he's 

been in pink blankets! Oh well. 

After spilling popcorn 50+ times these two little

buddies actually watched the whole movie! 

We love you crazies!

Just so excited to stay up and have a movie night with popcorn!

These pictures crack me up...our little burrito babies. They look so small!

Mmmmmm

This boy would eat all day if I let him.

He LOVES food.

He especially loves my protein shakes....I have to fight to eat my own, so now

I just make him a little one so he can eat it right along with me.

Glad you enjoy it Jax! 

Love you bubba.
