Uncle Cody's Artwork

This year at school Grace did a cow piece of art. I really loved it so I stashed it away thinking it would make a fun gift for our cattleman, Uncle Cody. We wanted everyone to get in on the fun so the crew painted a canvas to mount it on.

When we went to visit Jo Jo & Jake's new apartment they bravely let us work on our project.

Oh, no there is paint on Faith!

Paint on everyone.

Then Gramy helped them make it into a finished product during an overnight stay. Here is the finished product.

HCC= Holst Cattle Company

I believe it has found its home in Uncle Cody's office. Happy Birthday Uncle Cody!

A Day at the Zoo

Our playgroup spent a fun day at the St. Louis Zoo and Gramy came along- so we got AWESOME pictures. 

My Crew

 My big girl helper.

 Trying for a group photo...

 Titus loves Lala (a.k.a. Logan)

 The penguins were splashing us & faith didn't like "freezing."

 Faith with her beloved pink "tamingoes."

 Me too!

 Pushing this stroller was a GREAT workout in the heat.

 This was only the second day their Pride had been put together in their home. It was fun seeing them all together.

 Snugglin' up with the zebras.

 Finally a picture of an animal.

 Isn't she beautiful?

 Isn't she beautiful too?

 My little navigator (yes, that is a compass on her arm she insisted on bringing)

 Our first visit to the Children's Zoo.

 The kids loved playing in the water.

 Titus was enchanted with watching the otters swim.

 We have a picture of me and my siblings in this same hippo (although it was in another part of the zoo back then.)

 Eating some melty chocolate on the way home. Thanks Gramy!

Finally, a picture of our wonderful Gramy and photographer. So thankful she came along it made the drive and the day much funner for the mama.

My Sweet Ones

 Love this picture! Just a snapshot before school. But, I love Titus' eyes and how his shirt says TOUGH while his sisters are kissing him!

I'm linking up my photos here:
