Saint Louis vacay part 2

The arch is heavily under construction- so we got to visit the courthouse- where a makeshift museum has been set up

I spy j and cavan way up high

Emmy being puzzled over the buffalo chips...

My life- 

The pioneer children

The kids were being so goofy and I love the expressions on each face in each pic

The courthouse-- gorgeous 

My phone died and this was the only sculpture I got pics of-- but there were a ton of cool ones- and it was all hands on-  some with fountains- a camera and tv to watch yourself dance to the music- it was too fun

Meet me Saint Louie! Louie! Part 1

We started our summer trip off right with free Krispy Kreme report card donies! 

Road trip!!!

We got to the hotel- drury Inn- psa: go there. Free amazing hot breakfast- wait for it... And  DINNER- We literally bought 3 meals total- between that- the fab rooms and the pool- we could have literally gone to the next exit over and had a blast

The kids were over the moon- they adored every detail of the hotel- every detail

Memorial Day fun at the lake!

Cavan tried a floatie for the first time and loved it

Ellie (though she claims she drowned later that day) was bound and determined  to teach him to swim

The lake was very full to point of being flooded

The toads were u lucky enough to be caught

Sunglasses babes

The Liffereth clan played and cooked and ate with us-- here is the mudpit cook out

Cavan spilled a pitcher of salsa all over his daddy

And himself 

Eating at the picnic table was so exciting 

Our newest pet was caught and joined they family- Minty Leopard Gecko Frederick

fun times!

Cavanaugh jay phone picks post

I had to make sure all of these made it to the blog-- because someday, I'm going to print it.

One of cavan's favorite places to be is in this little hammock under his chair-- he likes to sit there, play with toys, find old food to eat... And that little baby pointer finger melts me.

Double fisting the suckers. 

Cavan is our worst sleeper yet-- he is crazy active and whiny while sleeping. On the upside, we've got some fun sleeping pictures and stories already!

His profile is baby sleep perfection 

Cavanaugh always wakes up rosy and dewy-- one of my favorite things about babies in general- and especially him

His favorite place to be is playing in the toilet. Here he is raging at me that I closed it before he could get to it. 

The token- "fell asleep in his high chair pic" everyone has one-- or at least should have one. 

His rotten little teeth peeked through at like 8-9 months- by far the earliest in our family. 

Again-- the beauty of a sleeping baby is beyond compare. 

uncle Dave brought back some toys for us from his Asia trip. Cavan LOVED his-- here he is offering it up to Buddha. 

This little Emmy girl of mine

Ems is a bit of a puppy... She loves the wind in her hair

She is looses teeth chewing on things

She is busy

Lovable and cuddly

She is a best friend 

She doesn't know where she ends... At all. 

And she is about the best around-- I love this girl so so much!
