While Daddy is Gone

Matt left Friday night for a trip to Chicago with the guys. They were going to the Cardinals/Cubs game at Wrigley to celebrate Aaron's birthday. Whenever Matt is out of town, the kids and I try and occupy ourselves the best we can. It seems our choice for fun (at least in the evenings) is a movie in mommy and daddy's bed. We watch our movie and snuggle and then the kids head to their beds. Well, I had to blog about this particular time without Matt because Brandon just made my night. When it was time to go to bed, he asked if he could sleep with me since Daddy was gone. He said, "I have to take care of my girls while Daddy is not here." How can I say no to that? Yes, when Matt leaves he does tell Brandon to take care of me and Anna. Brandon did a good job taking care of us (minus the couple hits to the face while sleeping, ha ha)!!

Family Time at the Lake of the Ozarks

We had a great long weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks. The White Family was able to get away and enjoy some time together. We did miss little Amelia, who was being taken care of by Pamaw. We started off the weekend with a trip to Big Surf Waterpark and again the kids had a blast! We rode go-carts, bumper cars, the kids fished, played in the pool and saw a show at the Main Street Music Hall. We also had time to just chill out and enjoy the views from our condo. I have so many pics that I want to put on here so I might have to make the next blog just some more pics. We had so much fun and look forward to doing it again next year!

Tee-Ball

It is summer time, so that means it is hot and tee-ball time! Anna wanted to play this year and so far seems to like it. She does a good job "getting ready" in the field and hits the ball off the tee really well. She is funny to watch when she runs because she holds on to her helmet so it won't fall off. She is having fun and that is what it is all about!

4th of July Fun

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We started it off by taking the kids to the O'Fallon parade. We had fun watching all the floats and feeling the patriotism by all the people. The kids got enough candy to fill our candy basket (that is already full)!

We went to Aaron and Sarah's to swim on Sunday and had a great time as always. Our evening was cut short a little due to Anna having some diarrhea (sorry too much info I know). We ended up heading home and watching some fireworks from our driveway.

Happy Birthday America!!
