on to florida

After driving to Iowa and dropping off the fur kids (Morgan and Sylvie) we drove back to St. Louis and were on our way to Florida to spend some time with Ryan's family before he leaves. We stayed at Jax Beach this time and got to catch some waves and lots of smiles:)

dug ourselves a big ol hole
chased a few birds
built a few castles (kinda) everytime we'd make one he'd knock it down:)

Ryan and Cole. It was soo humid, my lense was fogged up!

IOWA

We loaded up the truck and moved to Iowa for about 10 days-ofcourse we were in and out the whole time. It was hot as crap in Iowa too, ofcourse! We filled up the lil pool with freezing cold hose water!

Cole has no patience (wonder where he gets that from) so we didn't have time to get his swim trunks on.
thanks to Mom and Dad for housing our circus!

loves him some books

Indoor activities

It's been pretty hot here in the Natural State. We've had to stay indoors a lot.

Markers are always a good idea:)
he loved them ofcourse

Happy Anniversary to Nicole and Nate!!
