Growing Up

And so it begins...

Fourth of July 2012

We had a great Forth this year.  We celebrated at my parents house with some of our friends and it was all about the kids.  I try every year to get good pictures of the kids on the Forth and I did okay this year.  (Again I have to give thanks to Nanue for the awesome outfits!!)

The twins are starting to get in on the group picture action.

Uncle Matt and his girls.

Mera had no fear of the water this year.  She would jump in and go way under, pop back up, and say, "Again!"

Georgia has become quite the fish as well.  

The kids did well with the fireworks and no one was afraid.

Pokin' some burnt out snakes.

The smoke bombs were the favorite of course.

Well, actually Mera liked the cookies the best.  

Horse Camp

I enrolled Georgia in a few different camps during the month of July and the first was horse camp.  Needless to say she loved it!  

Pillows and Blankets

St. Louis- Part 3 "Children's Museum"

The next morning we spent at The St. Louis Magic House Children's Museum and had a blast.  I don't think we even saw it all but we had to get back to the hotel for lunch and naps.  I am not going to caption all the pictures because they are self explanatory.  

St. Louis-Part 2 "The Zoo"

We took advantage of being in St. Louis and spent a morning at the zoo.  It was really neat but a little too hot for a great time.

I will say it was amazing to see the hippos and made the heat worth it.
