Father's Day

On Father's Day, daddy got tickets for the Cardinals game. It was Aiden's first game and he did pretty well. The kids both got a Fredbird Bobblehead which was the highlight of their day. Sophie was disappointed that Albert was not playing, but kept the crowd laughing as she cheered for "Soy Sauce" (that is to say, Troy Glaus.) She has her little pet names for all the players. It was a hot afternoon and although our seats were about 8 rows back, out from first base, that also meant that we were sitting in the hot sunshine. By the 5th inning we had been through $40 of bottled water and the kids were getting a little restless, so we decided to head home. We finished the game in the comfort of our air-conditioned living room! Go Cards!

Summer Fun

We've been having lots of fun this summer. We recently got a new kiddie pool that the kids love to play in. I have been spending lots of time "lounging by the pool"! Aiden fell on the sidewalk and scraped his chin yesterday and we are so thankful that he didn't split it back open. The doctor that stitched it up in November said that his chin would be very likely to split back open if he hits it again.
Daddy got and ice cream maker from the kids for father's day and a bbq smoker from me. I think he is excited to try his smoking abilities!!! We enjoyed home made ice cream for father's day last night!

Train Ride

This last weekend was a real treat for Aiden. Daddy planned an afternoon trip to ride a real miniature steam engine. The steam engine was located in Wildwood, MO near the Meramack river. The ride was 2 miles long and took about 45 minutes. The track went along the river through the woods. The conductor blew the whistle several times and even came by and punched our boarding passes. Aiden loved the train and is still talking about it. He got up this morning and said, "I ride choo-choo-train!" Sissy, Mommy and Daddy also had a great time!

Memorial Day Weekend

We all had a lot of fun going home for Memorial Day weekend. We got to spend more time with all of our family than ususal! Sophie and Aiden enjoyed the zoo with their cousins. Aiden loved the gorillas and was knocking at the window at them...Sophie wouldn't leave my side! The kids were also excited to go swimming with Grammy, Grandpa Joe, Cooper and Tanner! Hurray for grandparents! We also got to see all of our extended family at a 60th wedding anniversary celebration for Grandma and Grandpa Klassen. 60 years....now that's something to brag about!
