Lake Trips

This past week we headed to the Lake of the Ozarks for our 2nd Annual Maryville Friends Lake Trip. We got a house at Tan-Tar-A with about 6 other families, we had 12 children all under the age of 5. Yes sounds crazy, but we had a lot of fun. The weather was awesome (very hot) and the kids had a blast. We can't wait for next year.

 After our weekend with friends we headed to the Brawley Lake house for the 4th of July. It was Ally's first trip to the Lake and she loved it. Both kids enjoyed the long boat rides and lazy days at the house.

Happy Birthday America

Summer is in full swing

It is hard to believe that I only have four weeks left until I return to work. This summer has just flown by. We have had a lot of fun, but I am not ready yet. The weather has been very hot in St Louis, we finally got some rain last night and tonight but it is still very dry and hot. Hopefully the heat wave will break soon. All the hot weather has been great for playing outside and doing water related activities. Matt just loves the water and would play outside all day if I let him. Ally is doing well, she is teething and has had a little bit of a cold but she is always a happy baby girl. We head to the doctor this week for her check so I will post later with her updated stats. Other than that all is well, enjoy the new photos.
