KC

I just wanted to post a few pictures from our trip last weekend. We went to KC to see my sister and her family. They were in town for a conference and I went to entertain my sweet niece and nephew. We also got to visit with some of my friends from high school. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of that.

You just never know...

what you will see or hear with Jace around. Just a couple quick stories for you. The other day I was driving to Taco Bueno with the kids to get some dinner (Clint was on call and still at the hospital). We see a fire truck and Jace says to me "I like red, but a pink fire truck would be my favorite!" Pink is his favorite color right now. I hate to admit it has lasted longer than all his other favorite colors. Second story. This morning we were heading to our weekly walmart trip. I walked into the garage and pushed the button to open the garage door. I turn to close the door to the house and I hear Jace screaming. I turn around and see Jace hanging on to the garage door as it is lifting him of the ground. By the time I get across the garage, Jace is 3 feet in the air. I couldn't stop laughing, but felt bad about it because Jace was crying because he was so scared. Last Story. This morning the Orkin man came to spray our house (no we don't have bugs it was a preventative thing). Jace is normally very shy. For some reason though Jace followed him around the house talking his ear off the whole time. I was amazed. You just never know what you will get with Jace around.

Labor Day

I know this is a little dated, but I had nothing else new to blog and have been meaning to get pictures of Labor day posted earlier. Clint's parents flew in for an extended weekend. The boys and I went to pick them up from the airport in St. Louis and went to the zoo for the afternoon. Here are a couple pics from the train. This was probably Jace's favorite part, except maybe the camels. After the zoo we headed back to Columbia for the night. On Friday we went to Kansas City to the Great Wolf Lodge. It was a blast. It was basically a large hotel with an indoor water park. They had an outdoor pool area too. The room was great. It was decorated like a lodge would be and had a little log cabin with bunk beds in it. Jace loved his new room as he called it. The following pictures are of Hayden swimming with his pops (Jace swimming on his own, with floaties, behind them) and Jace counting to 3 before he jumps in to his daddy.
On Monday Clint and his dad played golf why the boys and Sandra and I hung out. We had a great time and would recommend anyone going there. They have one opening up in Grapevine too sometime soon I believe.
