Trip to Missouri

We had such a fun time in Missouri! It is so much fun when we get our family together! The boys did great traveling, and just had a blast with their cousins, aunts, uncles and Grandma & Grandpa of course! A few days after we came home Derek said to me one morning: "Last night I had a dream that we were in Missouri and me and Eli were playing!"

We really love going to the Discovery Center!
Blowing giant bubbles!

Derek and Eli had fun playing in the water in the backyard! We thought this picture was so cute & funny because of the contrast in their skin! Derek gets so tan in the summer!
Eli is so cute and funny! He has the cutest little voice and is so sweet! Derek had so much fun playing with him!
They had this beach ball that they were playing with, and Derek and Ryan were throwing it back and forth. One time Derek threw it to Ryan and said: "Take that ya dirty old man!" It was hilarious! He didn't say it in a rude way or anything - he was just joking around! And we have absolutely no idea where he heard that phrase....
Just playing!
It was so much fun to meet Lexi! What a cutie!! She is such a sweet little girl! And look what a good helper she is - helping her momma with the camera!
With Auntie Alli!!
We saw these fun patriotic strawberries in the Family Fun magazine! I thought they would look very cool - but boy was I surprised that they were also super yummy!! I wasn't sure about sprinkles on strawberries, but it was a good combo!! We will definitely make these again!
Fun family picture! ....I love that you can see the slobber on my shoulder, haha! (that is from Cooper J. - just in case you didn't know! haha!)
I love these two pictures!! Scooter was outside doing pops- jumping So High!! He's such a fun kiddo!!

More pops with Alli!
We loved being together with our family in Missouri! Everyone else had some great pictures - and they are so nice to share pics! I definitely have more to post!
