Summertime!!!

Oliver & Talen playing at the park behind our house.  Oliver buried Talen up to his head!  Little did they know that ST Peters would be removing all the sand a few weeks later :(

Oliver playing with new legos.  Bella is checking them out.

 At the end of June we took our first family only camping trip.  We went to Meramec State Park.

 Oliver and I went for a hike in the woods and found out we were close to Fisher Cave which was nice & cool inside.  That came in helpful later in the day when it got so hot outside.

 Daddy went out to Walmart to get the parts to fix Oliver's blown tire on his bike and he came back with a Rocket Zinger!  It shoot 250 feet into the air!

Oliver was so tired when we got home on Sunday.  Camping is exhausting.

The next weekend Me, Oliver, Erin & Ivy went to Six Flags/Hurricane Harbor! Ivy was able to ride the Screaming Eagle & the Pandemonium!!!

4th of July Pool Party & Papa's!!  Oliver got his birthday present because Papa was supposed to be out of town for his birthday.  He got a Red Ryder BB Gun!!!

Time for fireworks!

Park time! Oliver and I rode our bikes to Laurel Park to play with the new musical playground.  It was over 5 miles round trip!

We celebrated Ivy's 4th birthday at El Maguey!  She got a lot of Frozen stuff this year :)

Cub Scout Graduation.  Oliver graduated from a Wolf to a Bear!  He got to carry in the flag!

We went to Zachary's birthday party at a Lazor tag place.  It was so much fun!!!

Swimming at Papa's.

 After a Dr. appointment at St. John's I took Oliver for a quick trip to the zoo.

 Then on Saturday we went to Six Flags. It was very crowded and hot!  We only rode 4 rides. But it was a good way to spend Mother's day weekend!

On Mother's Day we had a small BBQ at our house.

Laurie even came over!

The boys playing videogames at firepit Friday!

Ivy's first dance recital. Her mickey hat fell off her head in the beginning and made her nervous so she wouldn't dance for the whole song.

 She was much better for the Pocahontas dance!

 Let me see you Sparkle was definitely her favorite!

Oliver was excited to give Ivy the flowers that Maw Maw brought.

Oliver loves to help Daddy cut wood for fire pit Friday!

First ride on Uncle Brad's new boat!

The neighborhood juice stand!  All the kids made some money that day!

Ivy's pre-pre-school graduation!

Oliver & I went to Six Flags again and this time it was not as crowded.  We cooled off while watching a show and then got back out to the rides!

Oliver even met Scooby Doo...

And Shaggy too!!!

Another Sunday on Uncle Brad's boat.  It was a little cooler this day.
