Things are a little crazy preparing to move. So let’s catch up a little. Ty and I took a trip to Missouri mid June to visit family and be there for my dad’s surgery. We had a great time in Columbia and Springfield.
In Columbia, we went to a fun fest and got to see a river turtle, play with some worms and dirt, and a baby gar fish (which daddy has bow fished before out of the Meramec) – they grow up to be huge fish with really sharp teeth. Bass Pro also had a booth there with DIY bird house kits. I think Ty liked that the best. And I painted it the next day and made it a Mizzou birdhouse.
He also got to sit in a real fire truck!
Balloon animals!
Mizzou birdhouse!
Dad found some old fireworks and lots of boxes of those snap popper things. Ty had a ball with these! Especially chasing after pops and throwing them at him. He went through 2 boxes in like 5 minutes.
We also got a chance to catch up with our good friends the Toth’s and their daughter Sophia. They aren’t really sure how to play together, but aren’t they cute! Can’t wait to meet Sophia’s sissy, Gianna, due in a couple weeks.
Of course, made a visit to the new and improved student union on campus. I needed to stock up on my Mizzou gear!
silly faces with mom in the hammock.

getting the mail by four wheeler! Ty thought it was really loud, but was much better when we gave him the noise cancelling headphones.
This happened everyday after nap time. He would start with clothes on….but after they got wet, off they went!
After 5 days my sister and brother in law and their kids picked us up and took us to Springfield for a couple more days before we flew home. All the cousins had a ball playing with each other and there was a lot of laughing and screaming. Ty definitely holds his own with those two. While we were there we got to see a fish hatchery down at Tablerock Dam. Ty had a ball feeding the fish. We also went to the Discovery center in downtown Springfield and the Republic city pool, both of which were awesome!
Ty climbed his first tree following after his cousins!
I think these were Ty’s two favorite toys at the Discovery center. A digger and a crane. Ty and Keagan could have stayed in this room all day!
The toilet seats reads: A sip of conflict
brothers? nope, just cousins!
This is the only picture I got of the Republic pool and of course Ty didn’t want to look at the camera because he was mad at me. Want to know why? Cause I said two cookies and one brownie was enough for this pool break. It was a really cool pool with several slides and play equipment with water guns in shallow water for the younger kids.
Getting along….for the moment.
This is at a park farm. They have animals you can look at and different things to play on – so cool! We lost our hat and sunglasses here! bummer.
Trying to get closer to the miniature donkeys.
fish hatchery…
fun times in grandpa and grandma’s backyard.
Trying to get the horsey to go higher…
…oops, bumped our nose!
We had a great time in Missouri – even though it was Vegas hot there!
We got back just in time to celebrate Jeremy’s 30th birthday! We went to Grimaldi’s for dinner and had Jeremy’s favorite kind of cake (ice cream cake) for dessert. Happy Birthday babe!
Wow! So many fun things! So glad you had a great visit!
