Tyler's 1st Cardinals Game

So when we went back to MO Josh made sure that he was going to a Cards game, Tyler's first! It was a surprise for Uncle David for his 16th Birthday and boy was he happy when he found out. A day out just the boys was a great one especially since they won the game! :) Lots of memories were made and food was eatin...YUMMMY!

Remembering Michael Patton

In 2008 one of Josh's friends did not make it back from Afghanistan. When we went back home this year we made our way to go see him and his family. Driving through that cemetery was so heartfelt and emotional just knowing that so many men and women have sacrificed thier lives for us to be free. Michael, you are a great man and it was a pleasure to know you. We miss you and will see you again! :)

Chuck E Cheese

Right before we went home we decided that we needed to take the kids to Chuck E Cheese with our thier friend and ours! Zech and Monique are a young couple, with a daughter Avery, like us which is really nice to have. Zech and Josh have been friends for a very long time! The kids had a great time and Daddy's too :) We won lots of tickets and great prizes! Cant wait to move back and be able to spend a lot of time hanging out with them! We miss you guys :)

Visiting aunt julie, uncle steve, and wally

After the zoo we went and visited with with some more family. The kids played outside on the swing set while the adults kept the conversation going. It was nice to visit them because they have done so much for us, like everyone has, and we dont get to see them very often. It was great to see you guys! The pics turned out great :)

St. Louis Zoo

We took a trip to the Zoo when we were back in MO and it was sooo hot! Tyler and Alexis loved seeing all the animals, especially the elephants and snakes :) It was a great time and will do it again next time we are in. Thanks for coming with us Kylee, Nolan, and Gma Charlotte! Enjoy the pics

Penguins, spiders, and family

Music time with great gma Moore

The other day while everyone was gone or outside playing, Alexis decided that she was going to play her harmonica that great gma got her and we loved it! She made us laugh to tears :) She played for about a half hour and it was so much fun. Thank you gma for the memories we love you!

Visiting Papa Denny

We went down with Aunt Tonya to surprise Papa Denny and Gma Debbie at their house on Thursday and they were SURPRISED! We ate barbeque for dinner and had ice cream afterwards. Played outside until it rained and papa gave Tyler a Cardinals hat! It was a great time...cant wait to see them again!

Simming at Maw Maw Charlotte's

After we got back from our sweet treat we decided to go swimming at Maw Maw's. We have decided that we are getting a pool when we get out of the Marine Corps lol. Its so nice and the kids absolutely love it! Enjoy the pictures :)

Mmmm cupcakes....

Aunt Tonya took us on a surprise sweet treat on Tuesday to a cupcake shop! They had gourmet cupcakes that were sooo good. Tyler got the sweet and salty that had a pretzel on it, Alexis and Mommy had a pink girly vanilla and Daddy had turtle! They made such a mess but were so yummy! Cant wait to go back one day....thanks Aunt Tonya, we loved it!

Six Flags & Hurricane Harbor

Monday we spent all day at Six Flags with maw maw Charlotte, Aunt Tonya, Papa Tony, Kylee, Nolan and us four and it was another great day! The boys rode the coasters and the kids played in the looney toons park area. Tyler rode airplanes and balloons and loved it! We also went to Hurricane Harbor while everyone played in the water and Mommy got some great pictures. I think the best part of the day was the Ferris Wheel and Scooby Doo because the kids just lit up with smiles :) At the end of the day we were all very tired and went to bed....such a good time!

4th of July 2010

This was such a great day for all of us! There was lots of family over and our friends came too with their daughter Avery. We dressed up all handsome and pretty and got ready for the day. Daddy shot off fireworks with Zech and Uncle David while everyone watched...it was a good show! We got to ride horses and camels in the afternoon and ate barbeque...yum! Lots of pictures were taken but I could only put so much on. Hope you all had a great day too :)

4th of July continued...
