Missouri

Last month we (my folks, the boys, Kirk and Leslie and the kids) went to Missouri to visit my Aunt Gracie and all of her family. Gracie is my mom's sister and you will be able to see the resemblance in the pictures I am sure! We always have such a wonderful time while we are there! I wish that we could see them more than we do! Goldie has never even had the opportunity to visit them on their turf. We hope to do that sometime soon together.

While we were there we made the hour trek from Springfield to Branson almost everyday! We went to several different shows including Legends, Peter Pan, and Shoji Tabuchi! My cousin's husband, Justin, is in the Legends show. We also went to the car museum that is on the bottom floor of the Legends theater. One day we went to Silver Dollar City and had a blast! Kirk managed to get my cousin, Michael's, season pass revoked! We also got soaked from the water rides! (The things we do for our children!) We ate a few times at Gracie's Deli and also enjoyed some local treats. We went to Tricia's for homemade Gumbo that was delicious.

It was a rare occurance for us to be in bed before midnight the whole time we were there! Needless to say we were totally off of our schedules! The boys took it all in stride. Kenan managed to be fairly attentive in the shows. Sladen was so easy and just went with the flow. They both did outstanding on the road trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Aunt Gracie, Uncle Bob and all their family. We look forward to visiting again!

Just Pictures

I know! It has been a long time since I have updated! Here are a few pictures of the boys. They are both getting so big!

Kenan is talking in full sentences and tests his boundaries daily. He is a typical two year old. However, he is really sweet and loves to give sugars, snuggles and kisses... especially when he is prolonging going to bed. He also never meets a stranger - he will talk to just about anyone.

Sladen is such a joy! He just turned 4 months! He smiles just about every time you make eye contact with him. He has also started finding his voice by squeeling and screaming. We are still trying to keep him from sucking his thumb but any time I go get him from his bed he has it in. He looks so much like his daddy with his blue eyes and blond hair.

Move over and share with me! I wanna play, too!

Where's Sladen? Brother thought he needed ALL his toys!

Sucking his thumb!

Cute boy!

P-Mo and Pop Daddy's

We went to visit P-Mo and Pop Daddy and the boys loved it! It was a lot of fun getting to spend some time with them! I think P-Mo enjoyed her boys, too! Spencer and Taytum came to hang out with us, also! We had a fun time!

Cool Shades!
