Trip to St. Louis

We recently took a trip to St. Louis, just the four of us. It is so rare for us to have a weekend with nothing going on. Once your kids hit school age say goodbye to all those weekends. It is either sports, birthday parties, or some kind of school event.

While we were in St. Louis we got to visit some of our "old friends". I call them old friends because when we first meet them Skyler was the only kid and now their is like 8 of them. When we first meet them they were all just happy married couples (with no kids) that were sweet enough to include us and Skyler. I have a feeling that if Skyler would have been anything like Jaylie they probably would not have kept on inviting us.:) Anyway, I'm happy to report that they are still "happy married couples" just with children. We had a great time. Thanks Nicole for having us all over.

This is Bennett. The kids decided to have an American Idol show for us. It was so cute. Nicole's two boys could be back up for Chris Daughtry.
Here is a picture of all the kids, minus Lucy and Jack Henry. Jack Henry was already asleep and Lucy hates getting her picture taken. You will see below that we ended up making her get in the picture. Mike and Melissa's son Ryder would have also been in the picture, but Melissa and Ryder didn't get to come because Ryder was sick. (We really missed seeing you guys.) Also...notice Jaylie's dog in her lap. I'm not kidding no matter where we are that girl can find a dog.

Here is another future American Idol star.
Oh, here is the picture with Lucy. Isn't she happy that we threw her in the picture?
Ok, so here is a good picture ofLucy. She is so adorable. I had to get one without her crying.
Here is Norah playing a little guitar.
This is Luke and Bennett. They are brothers and they were wrestling. It took Jaylie about 2 seconds to get in on that action.
