Botanical Gardens

The Botanical Gardens "Trains" for the Holidays!
We spent the day at the Botanical Gardens in Missouri. Although the weather is not the greatest for the event the girls still had loads of fun.



Inside they had a really awesome setup of trains for the Holiday season. We're not sure if jason had more fun than the girls, either way we all loved the trains.













Christmas

The girls are already to go to church!




What a beautiful Christmas we had!






We had a wonderful Christmas thanks to the generosity of family and friends. We love and thank you all.






Emma's Birthday

If you think she looks bad here you should have seen her opening her presents, poor girl was sooooo sick, woke up with strep. She's doing much better now. ;)

Welcome Autumn


Too cute for words




My little Witches



Before

When we moved in the entire front room was painted this horrid green. It actually looked ok in the right light which is why we liked it when first looking at the house, after a few weeks we decided it needed to go. Jason also preped for this project by adding extra outlets and setting up the cables for tv and surround sound in case we or future residents want a tv in this room.

After

Jason and Jacob did a beautiful job on my shelves/display/fireplace... unit. I love it. It makes me feel rich to have such a nice piece in my home. Thank you Jake and Jason.

A few random photos

Here are just a few random photos, I have hundreds so it's hard to choose which ones to post. Thank you Grandma Sego for the cute clothes for the girls.





St. Louis Zoo

The St. Louis Zoo is so amazing!!! This hippo just kept swimming in circles right in front of us. We could practically reach out and touch the puffins and penguins, and the apes always seem to be right next to the window so we could get up close and personal. I personally love the butterfly room. Perhaps more pictures of that later.







Chicago

The week after we arrived at our new home Jason took Abigail to Chicago for his nephew's baby blessing. They fit a lot of other fun activities in while there too. Here's a cute pic of them with the city in the back ground.

Everybody Farts

Abigail farted this morning and as a result she made a list of everyone who farts. "I fart. Mommy fart. Emma fart. Daddy fart. Papa fart. Aunt Jessica Fart. Papa fart. Grandma fart. Uncle Josh fart. Papa fart." So is this a list of who's made the biggest impression (potency) on Abigail or what?

Ampa's

I felt so blessed to be able to visit my family in CA before our move. We don't get to see them nearly enough and now we are even further away than before. I hope it wont be for long.

Emma with Uncle Billy - she reminds me so much of some of his baby pictures sometimes.


These two pics are probably some of my favorites. So sweet to see Emma in a group hug with Uncle Loren and Aunt Jessica. I love my little brother and sister sooooooo much.


Family picture, just us being us. Wish Arin hadn't already left. Glad we got to see him though.

It took Abigail a little while to warm up to Uncle Billy but as you can see, she did it.

Grandpa and Emma-bean.


Grandpa and his little Button.

May was a busy month, this will be one of several posts for May. As we prepared for our move we tried to spend as much time with family as possible. These pictures were taken at Grandma McClure's house where the girls got to play with their cousins Tanner and Mandy. They all had so much fun and miss being close to each other.
