Lake of the Ozarks

Eric's parents have a condo in the Ozarks (Missouri) and we try to get there often. It's 3 hours from Edwardsville, so not super close, but not too far. The kids love going!! 

Cardinals Games

Beach Pics

Caroline Is 5

For 6 months Caroline had been asking when she would be 5. She could not wait. We had her party a week before her birthday since we would be at the beach on May 5th. 

The YMCA is across the street from our neighborhood and we are there all the time. They have an amazing gymnastics room, so that is where we had Caros fifth birthday party. It was totally unnecessary to have a theme, but we did. Of course! Minnie Mouse! We had 25 kids come and she had a blast!! 

All the rest of the party pics are on my camera, so I'll have to update this soon with more pics of the actual party. 

She had her first mani and pedi as a birthday treat before the beach!!

I am Wayyyyy behind on posting

I have had every intention on blogging about some important events in our lives: Cole turning 3, Easter, Caroline turning 5, our annual beach trip, Cardinals games and summer weekends at the lake. 

My laptop will no longer get internet connection and that's where all my pictures are stored. Yes, I could fairly easily transfer them to our main computer, but that hasn't happened yet. So for now the pics on my phone will have to suffice. 

Coles birthday:

We had a construction theme party, but at the last minute rented a pirate ship bounce house that could hold like 100 people. We only had 6 kids but it was a blast!!

Easter:
