Just the Girls!

Aidan was out of town and so we headed to the zoo for some fun...just us girls! If you go the first hour...everything is free! It was a pretty nice day and wasn't too hot! There was an overcast so I knew Belle would be okay and it was super early in the morning so besides beating the heat it we also didn't have to fight any crowds! I had a great day with my girls! Lily LOVED the goats! She petted them and brushed them...she couldn't get enough!

Lily pets a guinea pig at the Children's zoo!!

The goat was so tame...thank goodness!

Lily also enjoyed a free carousel ride!

Aidan's Big Trip!

Aidan went to Nana and Pa Pa's house for 4 days. He had a blast. It was his turn to go and visit by himself (this is a pretty big deal in our house...he wants to make sure he gets lots more turns!) Aidan went swimming at my Aunt Mary's pool, went to the Discovery Playhouse (which is kinda like the Magic House), went to the Missouri Conservation Center, went to the club with Pa Pa, rode on the tractor with Pa Pa and got a new Buzz Lightyear toy and a new pair of shoes for school! He had so much fun! Thanks mom and dad for everything! HE is still talking about it!

Sleeping Beauty!

July 24th was Matty's birthday! He played golf and then our old neighbor's came over to hang out! The kids sung "Happy Birthday" and we went to the store and picked out some yummy Gilly's cupcakes!
