Faust Park

Last Sunday we went to Faust Park which has these wonderful 1800's homes where you can just go and walk around. We decided to take some photos because we haven't had a family photo in a really LONG time. SO, the girls wanted to wear the matching shirts I bought them and I. We put them on and headed out with my cousin Tyler and his wife Becca. To my amazement my camera took these amazing photos of us. I was very pleased. Now I just have to go back and try to get them without Jon holding a bottle in his hand and with my hair actually done. The kiddos turned out perfect!! Maybe I should pick up photography ;) Thanks Tyler and Becca for helping us captures some family memories!

More Outings

We have been enjoying "The Magic House" It is a wonderful children's Museum. The girls love going there with Ryan and Caleb. They run around and truly get "Lost" in all the wonderful activities there are to do there. We also have visited the "St. Louis Zoo" which is FREE! It's wonderful and awesome. They have everything from Hippos to Elephants and much more which we didn't even get to see. This is such a wonderful family friend place to live. I just might like coming back here perminently. The people are friendly and thoughtful and very pleasant. Good friends always make it easier and of course we have lots of those out here too.

Sprinkler Park

We have been hanging out with our friends the Fransen's yet again this summer for 6 years in a row! We couldn't be more blessed to have such great friends. We took the kiddos to a park where it had water spraying and they enjoyed running around and getting wet. Ryan and Caleb were so fun to watch especially when they flexed there muscles. My girls just like running and screaming! Thanks great friends for making the summer Awesome!

St. Louis Arch

The first thing we did when we arrived, after some R&R of course was head down to the famous St. Louis Arch. It was really fun to see the amazing structure and ride in the little space elevator up to the top and see the city. Autumn was nervous on the ride up and as soon as we got there wanted to go back down, she wouldn't look out the windows down below. However, Makenna was thrilled to see how high we were and enjoy the ride. It is located right next to the muddy Mississippi and so us girls went and put our feet in the river. It truly is Way MUDDY! It was a fun morning. Love my family :)

Makenna's Graduation

We had a wonderful time watching her sing songs that she learned and seeing all the wonderful displays of what the children had accomplished. I love my little darling
