What we've been up to

It's been awhile since our last post, but its been quite busy around here! A few week ago, Kevin and I took a vacation (without Hailey). This was our first time to be away from her for more than 24 hours so we were a little nervous about going off very far. We had planned to go to the beach, but then the oil spill hit and quickly changed our plans. It was probably all for the better anyways, cause as much as I love the beach I wasn't too wild about the thought of being halfway across the country from my baby girl!

We decided to go to St Louis and had a great time. Our hotel was in the downtown area and we had a great view of the Mississippi River and the arch from our window. We went to a Cardinals game (they ended up losing that night), Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, the zoo, the arch, and the Budweiser Brewery. Unfortunately, it was extremely hot the days we were there. The weather man said St. Louis hadn't had a day over 100 degrees in 3 years, but of course the week we were there it was 100 - 102 every day! We did a lot of walking and a lot of sweating, but it was worth it. There were so many things we didn't even have time for, I look forward to going back in a few years with Hailey.








While we were gone, Hailey spent several nights at Nana and Gramps' house. She had a lot of fun. Here's a couple of the pics they sent us.

She looks like such a big girl in this one! I can't tell you how many pics my mom has taken over the years of me and my brother sitting in the same spot on the fireplace.



I just had to throw this one in! She had a great time making pig noses at Gramps and smudging up their shower doors.


It was nice getting away for a while, but we missed our girl. I can't wait until it gets a little cooler so we can take some family trips to the park and pumpkin patch.
