June was another fun month! We started the month out with a trip to the Magic House with friends, we went for a hike at Castlewood State Park, we did a little neighborhood scavenger hunt, started work on the basement family room and spent many evenings outside playing. Avery got her first haircut, Jake and Avery went on a Daddy/Daughter date night and we did some bird watching in the backyard.

 We spent a fun day at the community pool, celebrated Father's Day at Busch Stadium, the kids started another gymnastics class and we saw Big Foot smash some cars. We also had our church picnic and enjoyed more evenings outside playing!

It was a great month full of Summer fun and we're already off to a good start with July!

Five on Friday

 

Happy Friday!

Today I'm linking up with Christina, April and Natasha for Five on Friday!

 Avery's new favorite toy is her Doc McStuffins stethoscope, aka her "check-up". You rarely see her without it around her neck these days! She calls the doctors bag her "doc stussins" which is really cute too! I really want to find her a Doc McStuffins doctors coat to dress up in. She would LOVE it!!

This past Saturday, we took the kids to see Big Foot at a local car dealership. They had old cars set up for him to crush! The first thing Avery said when she saw him was, "it's Blaze"! Ha. 

 For our Fellowship Sunday at Church this past Sunday, I made these adorable 4th of July themed kabobs. I just used watermelon cut into the shape of stars using a small star shaped cookie cutter, angel food cake cut into cubes and blue-berries. :-)

I've had several cute photo sessions lately. I'd love to share a few of them in the next few weeks. Here's a little sneak peek of one of the most adorable photo sessions I've ever had the opportunity to do. Meet Page. This was her 2 year old session and it was at an ice cream parlor!! Such a cute idea for a photo session for a 2 year old.

Finally, Happy 4th of July! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend celebrating America!!

Annual 4th of July Pictures

The first 4th of July that Avery was born, I got the kids dressed up in their 4th of July outfits and took them up to the park to take a few pictures of them together. This has since become a little tradition of mine, so I couldn't let this year go by without their yearly 4th of July photo!

For comparison sake, here are all 3 of our Fourth of July pictures so far!

And here are a few more from our little backyard mini session this year.

This past Saturday, I took the kids to our community pool. It was the first time we've been there since moving and we had so much fun. The kids really loved it!

We signed Avery up for a second 6-week gymnastics class and we also signed Jackson up for a tumbling class. They both love it and have so much fun!

My mom has several bird feeders out in our back yard and we are really enjoying watching the birds come to them. Earlier this week we had 6 yellow canary finches in our back yard at one time. They are SO cute!!

Speaking of our yard, we have been pleasantly surprised by all of the flowers that have come up in our yard this year, especially these hydrangeas. They are so pretty!

Happy Weekend everyone!! We have a birthday party to go to tonight, I have a baby shower and 1 year twins photo session tomorrow and then Sunday is our church picnic!! Should be a busy but fun weekend!

Father's Day 2016

This year, we spent Father's Day at the Cardinals Game. Jackson's T-Ball league had their Affton Day at the Ballpark, so we got discounted tickets, free lunch and we were able to walk the field. 

It was hot, but thankfully our seats were in the shade, so that made it nice. There was a breeze and I think we all had a pretty good time. The kids weren't really all that into the game, but they enjoyed being at the big stadium and had a lot of fun.

They had a camera on the field as we were walking around and you could see yourself on the big screen!

Jackson on the big screen!

The Cardinals happened to be playing the Rangers this day (which is what Jackson's team name is, but of course, we were still rooting for our Cardinals).

Rangers Dug-Out

Cardinals Dug-Out

After walking in the parade around the field, we headed up to get lunch, find our seats and enjoy the game.

We took a quick family selfie before leaving. The cardinals ended up losing, but it was fun anyways.

After the game we headed home to relax. Jake helped Jackson put some legos together that he had been wanting Daddy to help him with. Daddy of the year right here!

Later that evening, we went to the grocery store to get some stuff to make dinner and we stopped by the redbox to rent a movie for the kids. We rented The Charlie Brown Movie and it was really cute! It was a great Father's Day!
