St. Louis Zoo Day one


This caused lots of confusion. They had to make a safety stop for Jeff because he was on the giraffe with Noah. It had to be stopped after going one time around. Everyone got off not knowing what was going on. While the lady on the loud speaker kept saying " stay on this is for a safety stop". It was confusion.


The kids had a lot of fun. The animals were very active. Our favorite was a baby elephant that went swimming. The weather was warm but a not too hot it was wonderful!

Visit from Mom




We took the kids down to the old mill to show my mom how neat it is. We tried really hard to get pics of the kids with out any luck. This also shows off their hair cuts.

Just recently as official and as set as stone as it can get at this point in time we got notice that Jeff has a deployment coming so we have decided to make a ton of new memories before he leaves. I have to take pictures so the kids can look at them and try to remember them. Good Luck to me!

This past weekend we went to a state park to camp. We hiked a trial. The kids walked and we back packed Joseph. Noah had no fear and although it doesn't look high these little cliffs were high and he had no problem leaning over the edge to look.


This was our destination. There were lots of little waterfalls leading up to this one. We went back the second day and played around at the bottom throwing rocks and relaxing. That is Jeff and Noah on the other side. They had fun crossing the water and exploring.


Joseph loved playing with the sticks and dirt. Not pictured but when he left his shirt was soaked from picking up rocks out of the water.


The posing just comes natural. Here lily is outside our camper. She slept in here with Jeff, Joseph, and I both nights. Noah and Jeff's mom (gabu) slept in the tent both nights. They might have had the best sleeping arrangements.


We waited to take a picture till right before we left the last day. we all looked pretty rough. The camper was such an unusual shape and folded down in such a neat way that it got attention from the other campers around.










Some other random pictures of us out around the city at different parks enjoying the weather.








Here is lily and I at a park taking a picture together. She loves to have her picture taken and to look at it.










Last here is Joseph on the sidewalk downtown playing with beads his sister gave him. I took the kids to a saint patricks day parade while Jeff was at drill one weekend. We had lots of fun.
