Our first week in Missouri we came across the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile! Our boys were delighted! Christian started working at Plaza Dental Group and has been very pleased. We moved into our house sight unseen and are so grateful it is in a great area! Our neighbors have already brought us treats for Halloween and have been so nice!
My mom and Andre came down for a quick visit! They timed it perfectly with the changing leaves!
It was so fun to see them!
Aren't they beautiful?
They only got to stay for a day, but we made the most of it!
The next weekend, Tyson and I headed up to Great Falls to see his cousin Eli get baptized. It was a blast!
Airports are so much less stressful with just one kid!
We lived it up!
I don't have any pictures of the baptism, but it was so beautiful! Addie played her tiny viola, Laura's dear friend made a million pies, my Dad and Kelly as well as Mom and Andre all came up to be there and Eli was as sweet and thoughtful as usual. I just love that kid! It made me want to be at every baptism in the world. The spirit is so strong and it was so sweet to be there!
On our way home, we stopped at the science center in St. Louis which is huge and free!
The boys have been champions coming with me to the store every day it seems! I don't know where we're going to fit the fourth kid!
Halloween was so much fun. The ward put on a little party and the boys had no idea they could be anything we didn't already have costumes for. It was a blast!
I love this little Superman! On Halloween night we went trick or treating with Christian's boss and his family. It was so much fun! There was an entire house made into Harry Potter world complete with a little boy doing magic tricks, Butter Beer, and hologram pictures in their house. It was amazing! (Darcy would have been in heaven!)
Here we are with our Halloween grub--yummy mummies (thanks to Crystal Wilde!) and fruit and veggies! The boys had fun wrapping their own dinner!
I love this quote in our library play place!
We went to the Runge Nature center which is about 45 minutes away but free and so cool!
Here is the goods from Halloween night! These boys were in heaven as I have been too exhausted to say how much candy is appropriate! Free for all Candy time!!
We went to Orange leaf after going to the temple. It is Neal's favorite new phrase :)
We have been exploring parks but Austin has not been satisfied. He asks every day if we can go back to Kentucky or Montana. Poor kid! We'll keep trying, dude!
Life isn't so bad!
Neal may be a little OCD--but at least he's happy about it!
We found out we'll be having another BOY in March! The boys could not be more thrilled! They all wanted another brother because, as Tyson put it, "That way, if we had to pool our money to get something at the store, we would all want the same thing, whereas if we had a girl, she might want a princess doll or something instead of a light saber." He cracks me up!
We had the Gillims stop over on their way to Kristin's house for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun to see them! We later met up with them in Kansas City and went to the temple and to Bass Pro Shop. They are the best friends! And little Madds is so cute!!
Neal and his Daddy! We were also so lucky to have Renee and Jared Nimtz for Thanksgiving (how do I not have a picture?!) We just love them and they drove all through the night to stay for one day and see us. I miss them and it was so good to be together again!
For Austin's birthday, all he wanted was to play with his friends at the park and have bacon and popcorn for dinner with banana pie. He got all he wanted! Although his day at the park was only fifteen minutes long due to the cold and having to pick Tyson up from school. He is such a trooper!
I can't believe what a big boy he is now! He can read proficiently and loves to make people laugh! He is so honest and forgiving. We are so lucky he's in our family!
