Catching Up . . .

Here's a slice of what we've been up to lately:

Here are Abby and Katie petting the beautiful Clydesdales at Grant's Farm.


Alex is getting so big and loves to pull himself up next to things (especially the poor gerbil's cage). His other hobby is crawling up the stairs as fast as he can, then slamming the gate at the top behind him. (He knows he only has a few minutes to explore his sisters' rooms before getting caught!)

We enjoyed having Adrian and Natalie Dayton and their son, Taylor, visit us from New York for a few days! Adrian and Luke grew up together and have been friends for years. (In fact, Luke's and my first date involved flooding the kitchen of Adrian's BYU apartment . . . but that's another story. I think Adrian has forgiven me!)

It was fun to show them some of the sights of St. Louis. Here we are visiting the zoo.

Taylor, Abby, and Katie had a lot of fun together!

Pops and Grannie Boyer visited for two days! They took a Church history tour with some friends that just happened to end in St. Louis (lucky us!). It was so great to see them, even if it was a quick visit.


Katie has started Joy School with three of her friends from church: Aurora, Chloe, and Charlotte. The other moms and I take turns teaching in our homes, and the girls love the chance to get together! Here are three of them making gingerbread cookies at our house.

Life is busy but good!

I'll say you're little guy is getting big - holy cow! He seems like a good mix of both his mom and dad in looks. Looks like you're doing well and enjoying your St. Louis adventure. Take Care!
