Bad blogger

I have been such a bad blogger! So much has happened in recent months, so much to catch up on... let's see... Khloe's 8th birthday, my 30th birthday, Kait's 10th birthday, Drew's 6th birthday, our Recommitment ceremony, vacation and back to school. Stay tuned for updates while I locate pictures!

I guess I'll work my way backwards. I haven't downloaded 1st day of school pics yet, so let's start with vacation.

Our final destination was Branson. We left Monday and stopped in St. Louis for a Cardnials game. I forgot my camera that night!
Then we went to the Merrimac State Park for some camping activities.
We went on a 5 mile float down the Merrimac River. That was so fun!
The water and the surroundings were beautiful!!

This was on a nature hike. There were caves that you could stop at along the way, but the kids would not go in!

Roasting S'Mores in your bathing suit! You don't see that everyday!

This was our campsite. It was hot, but we survived. I was proud of myself for making it through my first campout that wasn't in my backyard. It was a lot of fun!

We met my parents, two of my brothers and Tim's girlfriend Amy in Branson. We stayed at the same condo complex. It was really nice traveling with them. I think we all had a great time!
This is everyone at dinner.

Everyone waving from the boat.
My parents rented a pontoon and we rented a speed boat and
then were able to share the boats all day.
Those that wanted to take it easy hung out on the pontoon while the boys tore up the lake!!

Drew and Grandma & Grandpa tubing!

I will start working on the Recommitment Ceremony. Stay tuned!

Great pics. I didn't realize you were meeting your dad and Penny down in branson!! The float thing sounds fun. We have talked about going on a float trip but never have. Looks like you had lots of fun!
