Exhausted.

This picture cracks me up because you can just see the sheer exhaustion on both of their faces!!  I've been dowloading pics off my camera like a crazy person this weekend and forgot I took photos when we went to the annual St. Louis Balloon Glow a few weeks ago.  You go the night before the hot air balloon races to see the balloons up close, on the ground, and firing up their flames in the dark.  It's pretty awesome.  And I wanted to stay for the fireworks this year because our 4th of July fireworks were cancelled due to the extreme heat and draught.  So here they are, 10pm (note my kids go to bed very early - this is 3 hours after AJ's bedtime), wondering to each other if mom has any idea what time it is!!

A day at the zoo with Auntie Kristen.

 I got stuck brushing goats - yey!  Note sarcasm.

 Apparently Isaac loves giant insects?!

 Audrey's favorite - the hippos.

 Isaac's favorite - the elephants.  He scored a stuffed one from Auntie Kristen.  He also scored a first row seat to this giant elephant taking a giant poo.  He could not have been more thrilled.

Good thing Aunite Kristen was there to help feed the sting rays.  You wouldn't catch me dead putting my hand in that water.

 Um - Ike trying to look like the ostrich next to him??

 Batboy.

Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Brown

What a wedding!!  Brad and Angela tied the knot last weekend on the most perfectly gorgeous fall day ever!  It was a wonderful celebration of 2 wonderful people and we were honored to be a part of it all!  Some photos in no particular order (because for some reason I can't seem to move them around!):

 Ring bearer and flower girl getting their groove on at the rehearsal dinner!

 The Browns!

 Isaac on the wedding party bus - he thought he was big stuff.  And why wouldn't he wear pirate socks?!

 My sissies.

 Audrey and Grandma

 Dancing machines.

 Brad, Ang and their only nieces.

 My sisters and brother in law came to be on kid duty since Jeff and I were both in the wedding party.  Thank God for them or we wouldn't have pulled it all off!

 Does it get much cuter than this?!

 Best man and ring bearer getting ready.

 Isaac and his BFF Megan tearing it up on the dance floor.  I'll be sure to put this pic in their wedding photo montage in 20 years.

Isaac and our friend Justin being crazy.

Me and my girl.

Thanks for including us Brad and Angela!!  We love you!

Time Flies

We took this picture a year ago this weekend.  My how quickly life is flying by and how much they've changed in that year!  Hoping to snag a professional pic of them this weekend at Brad and Angela's wedding!

Starting to feel like fall!

After the hottest summer on record in STL, its been nice the last couple weeks to finally get outside and play!  We hibernated indoors most the summer - unless we were swimming or playing with water.
