Fun Times

We have already made some fun memories for 2009. 

It is always an adventure to feed Ray

The first weekend of the year we traveled to Pittsburgh for a family funeral. Here's what Ray looked like as we where leaving the house for the 10 plus hour car ride:
You can't really tell but the poor kid had a 24 hour stomach flu when we left...I don't recommend having a kid throw up during a car ride...it isn't fun AT ALL!
We did get to stop and see the Columbus, Ohio Temple:
This is the reflection of the temple in the Dodge Charger we rented for the trip...BJ and I don't recommend to buy this car...ask us if you need to know specifics

We finally made it! It was fun to see where BJ's parents lived, met, and became members of the church...it was cool to see the rivers and bridges and all of BJ's relatives.


Over all, the last 100 miles where the toughest, they always are, because Ray didn't want to be in the car another minute!
So the next week we decided to do something closer to home. We went to the Science Center here in St. Louis. Grace, David, Emily, Rob, and all the boys were there. 



We even got to build the Arch!

I think the boys favorite part was knocking it down. 

Really cool ball thing:

I special thanks to Gamma and Boppy for watching all five of the boys while all the parents got to relax at the Temple and go out to dinner! 

Every January in St. Louis Bald Eagles come through the area, it is a big celebration called Eagle Days. You go out to the river and can see tons of Eagles flying around. We mostly saw just stupid Seagulls. It took us back to our days in Utah with all the Gulls.
