St Louis part 2

We visited a spray park on Monday and played with friends. Evan was not a fan of the spray pad but he loved the little wading pools. Avery enjoyed the wading pools more than the spray pad too. I enjoyed Andy taking them for potty breaks and letting me chat with friends. ;)

St Louis

We took a mini vacation to St Louis this past weekend and met up with some friends. We had a blast hanging out with Kristi, Jill, Mandy, and Katy and their families. Vacations are much easier now that we don't have to worry about all the trappings that are involved with babies. This was the least stressful trip we have taken as a family.

Sunday we went to a children's museum and the kids had a great time.

Little Builders

Avery loves to build. She is also very into puzzles. She and Andy are so much alike. I guess Evan is like Andy too because he is into sports and video games. Hmmm good thing they are cute like me. ;)

Here lizard, lizard, lizard

Oh how A loves her creepy crawlies. Andy caught a lizard for her when he was mowing. She eventually broke the poor thing's tail off (well they use it as a defense mechanism to get away but she kept saying "I broke it"). Joey and Murphy wanted to play with it too.
