I couldn’t wait to chaperone Owen’s first ever school field trip! Being on the parent side rather than the teacher side of the field trip experience was a WHOLE lot more relaxing! We went to Thies Farm which is a pumpkin patch about 10 minutes away from Owen’s school. The weather had been awesome…70′s and [...]

Lots has happened around here lately, and I’ve been a blogging slacker. Rather than devoting a whole post to each…let’s play a little catch up. Here are some things we’ve been up to. 1. We went to Oklahoma to see my cousins. We hadn’t seen them since my Grandma’s funeral two years ago. It was [...]
summer’s last hurrah

The day before Owen started school, Travis took a random day off to have one last day of family fun. The weather took a break from being suffocatingly hot and we piled in the mini and headed to the zoo. We got there just barely before 9am so we could get into the stingray and [...]

A couple of weeks ago Tyler, Tessa, and Cooper came to visit. We were super excited for these three to get to play together. Owen and Cooper bonded over their mutual love of shooting things with nerf guns. These tough guys had quite the shootout in our basement. Trav had to work while they were here, but Tyler, [...]
concert in the park

Last night my parents, brother, and I took the kids to a local park to see a free concert. Trav has been traveling a lot more lately and I’m always trying to think of ways to occupy our late afternoons and evenings. But I would have gone to this concert even if Travis had been [...]
library love
Posted in the kids, things to do in st. louis on June 17, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Our favorite activity of the summer so far has been frequent visits to the library. Owen loves the big selection of DVDs he can check out. (Today he picked up a documentary for kids about cowboys.) I love that they have books on CD to keep Owen’s rest time/reading time new and different. And Molly loves seeing [...]

Owen’s actual birthday fell on a Tuesday, and the Cardinals were at home. We felt it was high time our boy went to his first Cards game. To get him ready for the game, our birthday present to him was a Cardinals hat and shirt to wear to the game. And he wore them proudly. [...]
st. patty’s parade

St. Louis weather is totally crazy. Today it’s been snowing like crazy all day long, but two days ago we were outside all day loving the beautiful (close to 70 degree) weather. We took advantage of the gorgeous day and headed downtown for the St. Patrick’s Day parade with our friends Ben, Anna, Ella and [...]
one day one dollar

My favorite consignment shop, Once Upon a Child, has a One Day One Dollar sale twice a year to get rid of all their clearance merchandise. This is my third time to go and it never disappoints. The first time I went I didn’t have any idea how many people show up for this thing. [...]
my actual 30th birth DAY
Posted in holidays, the fam, things to do in st. louis on October 6, 2010 | 3 Comments »
After all the fun of my birthday getaway weekend, we decided to have a family day on my actual birthday. We woke up that morning and went to a big yard sale…my request. I made my entire family get up and get ready so we could be at the yard sale when it opened at [...]
