My wife.....err....husband?!
While watching the saloon show at Silver Dollar City, Chris was called upon to come on stage. It was the funniest thing when he came out from the back onto stage....Adriana yelled out "My daddy's a girl" and started laughing so hard!

Noah the Musical!
One of the nights we were down in Brason we decided to go see the show Noah the Musical. After searching online I was able to score cheap tickets saving us all $100 total and they were great seats! The show was AMAZING! I would definitely recommend it to anyone, even if your not a religious family. They wouldn't allow anyone to take photos during the show so unfortunately I don't have any but I did take a few from the outside.
Here is the Sight and Sound building that the show was in. It was a beautiful building!
The kids in front of the building.
The kids by the fountain on the outside of the building.
The kids with the Noah's Arc statue.
I think they are done with mommy's picture taking.
A scene from inside the building.
All the kids enjoyed the show and Adriana got a little emotional during certain parts. A definite family must see! I can't say enough about it!

Visit with Kevin and Jenny!
While we were down in Branson we took one day and made a trip down to Tulsa, OK to visit my little brother, sister in law, and their little baby girl, Jessica! She is the sweetest little thing ever! I don't think I even heard her cry once, they are sooooo lucky! It made me miss having a little one around our house.......ummmmm Chris! Just kidding. But she is just perfect and so tiny, you forget so fast how little they are! So here are some pictures of the little princess!
Adriana and her baby girl cousin!
And of course Aunt Jenny with the kids!
We miss you guys so much already and we can't wait to see you again at Thanksgiving! Give baby Jessica lots of kisses from her Aunt Meme!

We're back!
We are finally back from vacation! We spent 12 days down in Branson and had a blast! I have about 800 pictures to go through so it might take me a bit and I will probably break the pictures up into different sections to make it easier. Stay tuned to see the good times!

4th of July!
I meant to get this post up before vacation, but it just didn't happen. This year for fourth of July weekend we did our annual parade at St. Charles with lots of our friends on the 3rd. We were joined by my brother and sister in law and their three kids, Pete and his two kids, Summer and her two kids, and a friend of John and Maria's and their kids. So we had LOTS of kids with us and it was so much fun!
After the parade we headed to pick up our camper at Uncle Roy's house and get it home to get it ready for vacation.
We then headed back down to St. Charles riverfront for all the festivities. We let the kids ride a few of the rides.
Surprisingly the kids didn't throw a fit when we told them they only got to ride two rides each, Chris said its because they are so used to being deprived of everything....I think they just wanted to be good for momma ;-)
Next we set up a blanket with lots of snacks and got ready to watch the fireworks show.
Here are the silly Weber boys!
And all of the crazy Weber kids! Yes, this is my kids on sugar....haha!
Watching the fireworks show!
And one pictures of the awesome show!
On the actual 4th of July I had to work (which I do every year) so I just came home for a late dinner and sat out on the deck with the kids and watched all the fireworks our neighbors set off. Its great because our neighborhood goes CRAZY with blowing their money as I like to call it.
It was a great weekend and lots of fun was had by all!

A day at the Zoo!
Last week was such an awesome week for the weather after having a very hot streak so we took advantage of our membership and headed to one of our favorite spots....the zoo! It was a perfect day for weather which made it a little busy but still lots of fun!
These pictures aren't the best because they were from my camera phone. Yes, I did remember my camera this time but forgot to check the battery before leaving and wouldn't it be my luck that it was dead :(
Here is the kids brushing the goats at the children's zoo.
We stopped by just in time to catch the beginning of the animal show.
And of course a day is never complete without a train ride!
