Where do I begin???

So since I have not been posting very regular I am really behind in sharing pictures. We were in Missouri at the beginning of the month for a week. Matt was out of town for some training and I drove down with the kids and met him there. I was able to meet up with some friends that I knew when we lived down there in college and it was great visiting. We spent some time at Grandma and Papa's new house boat. It is in such a beautiful area (even though we had to go into Arkansas to get there:)). The kids loved it there too. They did some fishing and shot rocks with a sling shot they bought at a place called Wild Bill's. They fed a turtle a hot dog and he seemed to really like it. Carter set his fishing pole down on the back of the boat with the hook/bait still in the water and a fish bit and took the pole with it. So he lost his first fishing pole. :(


Carter loved helping Papa in the yard or in the garden. They worked hard together.

Papa and Grandma both took a day off of work and we went to a fun place in Branson that Cousin Beth works at. They rode on Go Karts, Bumper Boats and Carter even rode a little ferris wheel all by himself.










Carter went and got Papa's M&M's out of the fridge for a little snack and spilled them all over!

Riley and Carter on Riley's actual birthday with the cake that I made her.


The last day we were there we celebrated Riley's birthday with our family in Missouri. This was the second birthday party of her month long birthday celebration (as we like to call it).





Carter and Riley in the car on the way home at the end of the week. The kids are AWESOME in the car. They are easy to travel with. Unfortunately they do not sleep very often even when they should be so tired, but they stay entertained.
