St. Louis Trip

Each summer we try to make at least one St. Louis Cardinals game.  Happily, that tradition continued this year.  We were also lucky enough to have our friends tag along with us.  A weekend full of fun!  Baseball game, swimming, and zoo visit.  Great times!!

 They are as wild as the animals!

Go Cards!

First Aftershock Game

Cody joined a traveling baseball team this summer.  Their team name is Aftershock.  Cody plays 1st base and Pitcher.  It's a great group of boys and coaches.  These pics are from their first game together. 

 All warmed up.

Cousin Craziness

There is never a shortage of fun with we are all together!

Kaden had so much fun he can't even pull his head off of the seat!  :-) 

At the Races

With our busy summer schedule, it isn't always easy to get back to Nebraska for visits.  We did, however, finally find a weekend to travel back and watch Dylan and Maddie race their caged cart.  As a bonus, Cody and Samantha were able to drive their carts at the end of the night.  Good times and great memories!

 Hanging out before the fun begins.

First Day of School 2013

Another school year is about to begin.  Summers always go by much faster than we'd like, but it's also fun to get back to school and see all of your friends. 

Cody is starting 6th grade. Samantha is a 5th grader and Chloe starts 1st grade.  Here we go!

Nebraska Zoo Trip

On one of our trips back to Nebraska we made it to the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo.  Such an amazing place to visit!  The kids had such a great time.  That kind of happens when you get to hang with your cousins.
