Phelps Phan

I will definitely admit to being a Michael Phelps fan and watching the Olympics nightly. We usually watch some with Jackson before he goes to bed at night. The other day the TV was on and there was a picture of Michael Phelps on the screen. Jackson looks at me and says, "Mommy, there's your man, Michael Phelps." I guess he must think I am a little obsessed. Now, when we go to the pool, he wants to be Michael Phelps and race the length of the pool. Here are some photo of our Phelps wanna be at the pool...

Drew is having a ball!

Drew had a ball today at Monkey's Treehouse. Despite the fact that he did not have a morning nap, he did great! I thought he would sleep in the car on the way, and he thought he would rather watch Jackson. He ended up falling asleep while I was holding him, which was so sweet. I could not resist sharing these pictures...

St. Louis Arch

On Sunday, we headed to the St. Louis Arch and rode up to the top to take a look. Here is Jackson testing out the tram that would take us.

St. Louis Cardinals Game

On Saturday, Andy and I took Jackson to St. Louis to see the Cardinals play the Phillies. (BTW...Drew stayed with my mom and dad in Columbia and had a blast!) Jackson was so excited to go to the "big game." It was fan photo night at the game, so we got to go on the field before the game.

Jackson had so much fun at the game. He got a Cardinals batting helmet. Below is a family picture (Jackson did not want his picture made so he is demonstrating his pouty face).

All of us on the field before the game (we were some of the very few people not in red or some type of Cardinals gear...hey, at least, I didn't wear a Cubs shirt)
