STL Weekend

At the beginning of June we went down to STL with my cousins and their son, Jackson.

First stop - the Zoo!!

The monkey exhibit was awesome.

Kristen and I were repulsed by all the birds, but the boys loved feeding the ducks at lunch. 

Check out the baby Joey in the pouch! 

Looking at the "puppy" - aka Jaguar

I love this picture. So happy to cool off!!

Picking out his lion. 

Such a happy boy! Until Sunday - but that's another story. 

After the zoo we went back to the hotel for a bit. We had joining rooms, and the boys loved bouncing back and forth between the two. 

The next day we went to the Magic House. That place is super cool. The adults even had a lot of fun! 

Pure joy!

HATED IT!

We wore the boys out!! 

It was a fun mini vacation. Who cares if half of us came back with a virus and don't want to go back to the house of germs anytime soon. We still had fun! No, the Magic House isn't to blame - but that's what we're blaming it on. Can't wait to plan our vacation next year. 

Sometimes...

Sometimes I dust by just blowing the dust off things and then calling that clean. I just "dusted" my whole room, and I feel pretty satisfied with this method. If someone really enjoys dusting, please come over.

Aaron loves to clean. He likes to vacuum, wash dishes, and sweep. And he sometimes gets on board the laundry train, and helps me throw the clothes into the dryer. Sometimes I count Aaron's sweeping and vacuuming as actual cleaning, and call my cleaning complete for the week day. I'm just proud I'm raising a boy who likes to clean - at least for now.

We've been busy!

We've been so busy this past month! Here's what we've been up to. Ok, so here's what Aaron's been up to since I know you really only care about him ;-)

We got some Mommy and Me pictures done with my best friend and her son. This made me so happy since I'm rarely in any photos with my son. And it was a bonus to get some pictures of the boys together where Aaron isn't crying. I also got some great pictures with my own mom. It was the perfect day, and the pictures turned out great!

We've played outside a lot. Got the gardens planted. Aaron likes to help water. He also loves playing in his water table.

We went to the Farmer's Market with my friend Megan, and her daughter Lyla. Or should I sayAaron's girlfriend, Lyla. Seriously, could this girl get any cuter!? Aaron is a lucky man! We had a ton of fun, and can't wait to go with them again.

We went to a delicious fish fry at my grandparents' house. Aaron loved the fish! And loved playing in the yard with GiGi.

And we got to see my girlfriend, Allison. Aaron loves Ali. We miss her so much, and beg her to move back home all the time. I had to throw that in here because I know she reads this blog. Love you, girl! But seriously, move back. You can see how upset Aaron is about it in this picture.

It was a busy month of May/early June. We're loving the nice weather and outside time. Stay tuned to read about our mini family vacay to STL. We had so much fun, and are currently still recovering from it.

Hope you're enjoying this Spring!
