STL: Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Dad!

I wrapped up my visit to St. Louis celebrating Father's Day. I went to Mass in the morning with Dad and Francine, followed by a delicious breakfast at Schneithorts. After some down time at Dad's, I ventured over to my grandma's for a few hours, then came back over to dad's for a steak dinner! Dad, I am glad I got to spend the day with you!

At Grandma's...

The day before Father's Day was my late grandpa's birthday. We decided to honor his fatherhood and birthday on Father's Day. We certainly celebrated. The afternoon consisted of catching up, water balloon fight, cards, and of course a dance party. Some of my younger cousins tried to teach the family the Hannah Montana Hoedown Throwdown.

Sorry I didn't get every one's pictures posted, we are just that big of a family :)

Water Balloon Toss turned Water Balloon Fight!

Happy Father's Day to you too, Tom!

STL: Aunt Germaine and Uncle Peck's 50th

During my time in St. Louis, I got to celebrate my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary in Kelso, MO. We attended a Mass in honor of them, which was packed and then went to a reception with an evening of pictures, dancing, and of course dumplings! Happy Anniversary Aunt Germaine and Uncle Peck! I am glad I got to celebrate with you and the rest of the family!

The happy couple!

During my time in St. Louis, I was blessed to be in town at the same time that Ami and Lori were with their kiddos, Ashley, Nathan, and Rylie. Here's just a glimpse at these precious ones!

Rylie

Rylie helped catch a fish in the backyard!

Rylie had previously celebrated her 3rd birthday at Chuck-E-Cheese, however she didn't get to see Chuck-E. So this time, he came and gave her a big hug. She was so excited!

Rylie, Ashley, and cousin Tess or are they mice?

Ashley!

Ice Cream

What's the best way to get rid of sugar energy, well go running right after eating ice cream of course! Ashley and Nathan are quite the natural runners!

Magic House!

Oh and you must check out their talent!
