Happy 5th Anniversary!!

1/2 a dozen roses B. J. sent to me at work on Friday.


Today is our 5th wedding anniversary. Time has flown by and who would imagine we would have such a beautiful little girl. Here's to many more years together.

Family Trip to St. Louis

Attack of the goats!!

Nice goat!!


Riding the merry go round at the zoo.

We took a family trip to St. Louis last weekend. We got up early Sat. morning and headed to Grant's Farm. Then we ventured to the St. Louis Zoo. Most of the animals were hiding at the zoo because of the heat, but it was a fun trip. We spent the night at the Drury Inn down by Union Station, then set out Sun morning for Bass Pro. Back to Leonard after that. Emme enjoyed playing with the goats. Both Grant's Farm and the zoo had goats to pet and Emme LOVED IT!! I think Daddy is thinking of buying her a goat.

Loves to swim

1,2,3,4...

Dumping water on her head.


Hot baby!!

Shakin' her booty!!


Emme loves to swim. We only have a small pool for her right now, but that works for her. Daddy doesn't really like the bikini, but she looks so cute!!

The Turtle Sandbox

Playing on the teeter totter

Or horsey has Emme calls it.

Emme has really enjoyed playing in the sand (when the weather cooperates). This seems to be her favorite pastime especially when she ends up with sand in her hair, her diaper and her eyes.

Planting Flowers

Emme and Daddy


Getting dirty!!


Look at my pretty pink tools!

Bored with the flowers, moving on to the sandbox!

Emme was a big help when B. J. and I were planting flowers this year. She even has her own tools.

Maybe an architect...or maybe a construction worker!

Emme has grown quite fond of her mega blocks. Her favorite part is knocking down the towers.
