Springtime in STL + Boyle/Odom Visit

Well you may have noticed I've been a little absent this week, or maybe you haven't, which is okay too. We've been very very busy 'round these parts. Mimi, Aunt Amanda, Noah & Gavin came to visit us last weekend. It was lovely. It is so fun to watch the cousins together, especially since the boys are big enough to play with each other. I don't have any pictures of me, Scott, or Amanda, but we really were there. Promise.

On Friday, we attempted to go to the Botanical Gardens. But since it was National Garden Day (or something like that) and admission was free, the place was packed. So we headed for Plan B, which was Tower Grove Park around the corner. It was equally as beautiful!!

Mimi and her boys...

These painted butterflies were so fun! Believe me, I tried to get a picture with them looking at the camera, but no dice.

Sweet Noah...he is getting to be so grown-up! A great playmate for Nate. Thankfully he can stand Nate's bossiness. Most of the time:)

Mimi really wanted a picture with all of her grandkids. I had to promise Mr. Wizard's ice cream, but the kids did a pretty good job. Some of the pictures looked like this...

But most of them looked like this...

I thought this one was pretty good too...

The typical pajama picture...Lila didn't mind being held by her brother and cousins.

On Sunday, we headed to Grant's Farm for the first time this season. It didn't disappoint.

Sweet Gavin...he spent most of the weekend trying to keep up with the big boys. And he did a pretty good job!

Lila took a little snooze at Grant's Farm, but woke up to enjoy some of it. I'm sure we will be going back so there will be plenty of time for her to look around!

It was a wonderful weekend and we were all sad to see it go. Looking forward to the next time when we are all together!!
