3,2,1!

Ry and Uncle Patrick ready to launch the rocket!

Juls thinks it's pretty cool too. She ran and caught this one on the way down.

A boy and his toy.

Love!

Blastoff

Ryan had a memorable afternoon learning to blow things up with the rocket and launcher Uncle Patrick and Aunt Crystal gave him for Christmas.

Happy Birthday To Me!

It was a full birthday day. I dropped the kids off at Kids Bible Camp in the morning and headed to the OB and got to hear our sweet baby girl's heartbeat.  Then Jeff and I went for a fancy-schmancy lunch at my favorite sandwich shop, Jimmy John's (I'm a high maintenance girl, ha!).  Then I picked up the kids, we spent the afternoon together, and headed to the KBK carnival in the evening for fun and games (hot!).  Jeff then headed to his softball game, and the kids and I couldn't head home until we stopped in The Cupcakery for some celebratory cupcakes!  

Always surprising us by her food choices and mature taste buds, Juls chooses the lemon cupcake...

Baby Colin

Colin Anderson Rudd meets his brothers.  

Isn't he super precious?

Daddy love.

Ryan and Julia are in love with their newest nephew already!

Girlfriend Lunch

I've got some of the BEST girlfriends! Here are some of "the notorious 9" crew at a Peel lunch.

Amanda, Kel, Em and I pose with Ryan as he shows us some moves. =)

Happy 4th of July

We had a fun 4th hanging with family at the pool and then spending the rest of the day cheering on the Cardinals. (Thanks, Mr. Busch for the tickets!)

The munchkins pretending to be statues...one of their favorite pastimes these days. I can't figure out WHERE they ever got this idea from!?!

Happy 4th of July!
