Missouri Botanical Garden - LEGOS!

I love the exhibits that Missouri Botanical Gardens brings in every year.  It's always so fun.  I love just going to the garden and walking around.  It's so peaceful.  My favorite part has always been the Climatron, which is where they were hosting the Lego exhibit this year.  Double Fun!  We found a cake too!

Jackson is my silly one.  He always says his whole name is Jackson In A Tree Haarmann.  I have NO clue where that came from.  However, here is Jackson In A Tree Haarmann - in a tree!  

Here are some of the Lego exhibits.  The Bald Eagle has 42,198 Legos.

  The Lily has 32,514 Legos.

The Tractor has 20,903 Legos.

This Mosaic has 24,330 Legos and 2 cute models!

Memorial Day Weekend!

We always have such a great time at the lake.  It was a little too chilly to go swimming the first day we were there, so we did some races in the driveway.  Here are some monkey's hopping like bunnies!  Man they have energy!

 I'm not positive, but I think Trevor had a fun weekend.  ;)  He enjoyed swimming and taking his first boat ride!  Plus, check out those comfy overalls - you can't wear those things and NOT have fun.  ;0 

 He likes to give kisses to everyone.

 Check out this crew on the boat!

 

The Budster

I think this picture is hilarious.  All the kids are a little timid around fish still, and Owen goes right for it.  He's the brave one of the bunch!

 A few of the kids actually got in the lake - it didn't last very long though - it was chilly!

 We did get to enjoy time at the pool though!

More Cakes!

We got lots of cakes this weekend!  I was trying to come up with some creative ideas for pictures.  So, we brought plastic spoons and pretended to eat the cake at Lafayette Park.  Then, at Ameren, we ate baby cakes in front of the big cake.  Hope we didn't hurt the cakes feelings!  

 I think this cake might be my favorite so far.  This was at the Peabody Opera House.

 This one was fun too.  It's at the St. Louis Blues Museum.

 Kiener Plaza

 Dylan played photographer for this one.  (Christ Church Cathedral)

And Jackson played photographer for this one!  Both of them did a great job! (Broadway Oyster Bar)

 We got a family shot at Busch Stadium! 

  I'm so excited that the boys are enjoying the scavenger hunt so far.  It's fun to see them race to the cakes with me!

Go Cards!

We ventured out to the Cards game today.  What a perfect day for it!  We got free ice cream before the game, and we got to meet the North Star Penguin!  Dylan and Jackson each got a red wooden bat too!  We also ran into lots of friends (Hi Maddy & Hi Aiden!) which Dylan thought was so cool.   

 

Trevor's 1 year pictures

Finally found some time to upload Trevor's one year pictures!  He sure had fun...until we busted out that cake!  He's so handsome!

STL is 250!

A scavenger hunt across St. Louis, that involves me taking pictures???  I have a new project.  I love this game.  The boys are playing along so far.  Every time we pull up somewhere they say "Oh, it's another birthday cake."  So, they might not be as enthusiastic as I am about it, but they smile for the camera, and that's what makes me happy.  :)  Here's some of my favorites so far.  I'm finding that I really enjoy the bright, colorful ones.  :)  The top left is the Frank Lloyd Wright house - it is very colorful, but doesn't have a whole lot of meaning.  The top right is Manchester City Hall.

 Maritz - I love it when Trevor gets in the action too!  He usually sleeps right through the stops.  

 Saint Rose in St. Charles.  I love the simplicity of this one.  And the colors.  :)

 Jackson said this is his favorite cake so far.  It's at Shaw Nature Reserve.  If you look closely you can see lots of animals on it.  An eagle, a frog, a turtle...that's why it's his favorite!

Next weekend we're going to a Cardinals game.  I'm so excited about the possibilities - there are lots of cakes downtown!!!
