Meet me in St. Louis!

We took a little road trip this summer while Sam was away working.  We drove up to St. Louis to see our friends, Kara, Cole, and Gabe.  They live in Germany but were visiting family in Iowa!  So we meet them in St. Louis for some fun!

Hotels rooms are always fun!  With three boys, it's always interesting too!

Checking out the arch with some free popcorn from the hotel lobby!  What more could you want?

Cheese face!

The arch and my boy!

We took a little trip to Grant's Farms while we were there.  We rode on the carousel!  I think Austin gets this from me.  I remember begging to ride carousels.  Especially the one in the mall in Georgia.

Austin, "the goat whisperer".  I was one proud momma.  Austin was on e of the few kids (and grown-ups) that could hold their ground with these little guys.  While most were screaming and running, Austin got a goat latched onto his bottle and took him for a spin, literally!

Friends!  We sure do miss this group!

Of course, we had to go to Sweetie Pie's for Granny and Aunties!  Austin LOVES fried chicken ON the bone!  Who would have thought?!

Birthday Bash!

Your baby only turns 3 once!  This year we had Austin's birthday party at Jump Zone!
We lucked out and got the undersea room for our pirate party!

I tried my hand at a pirate cake!

Austin and 11-13 of his friends from "school" and military families!

The little pirate and his stink face

He blew out the candles all by himself this year!

Being three is hard work!

But it's so much fun!  Here's Daddy and Austin trying out the new birthday presents!  Daddy likes being 3 too!
