Fun Times

Isn't he a stud?!

Eli on 4th of July

We just got back after spending a very fun but very exhausting 8 days in Gulf Shores, Alabama. If you've never been to that part of the US you are missing out on the most beautiful white beaches. They are really doing well after being hit by several hurricanes over the last few years. Alister was fearless in the ocean, Eli on the otherhand stayed away from the ocean completely. Oh well, maybe next year. We had a baby pool on the beach with ocean water so he still got to play and cool off. We spent the week with Jeff's mom and dad and his sister and her family. All I have to say is being back in St. Louis is making me go through some major beach withdrawl!

Alister Turns 4!

Alister was a lucky boy this year. He got to have 2 birthday parties this year with family. One in St. Louis and the other in Gulf Shores. His favorite presents were a red digger for the backyard sand box that is really cool (I must say so myself) from mommy and daddy, a cash register from mimi and poppa that really scans items and Bendaroos (if you watch Noggin I'm sure you've seen the commercials) from Grammy and pops.

In gulf Shores (hence the non shirt wearing birthday boy!)

Of course, a construction cake!
