Fun at the Park with the Jensen Family

Today after visiting the Cemetary we headed over to Faust Park to meet up with some friends from our old ward. We met Mitch and Trish shortly after Matt and I were married in 1997. At the time they only had their 4 month old daughter. Now they have 4 beautiful children, 1 daughter followed by 3 sons. It was fun catching up with them. Here are some pictures from the park.

A Visit to the Cemetary

Today we took the kids to visit Papa's grave. My mom bought a beautiful mum to place on it. We try to visit his grave whenever we visit St. Louis. He is truly missed!

Carving Pumpkins 2008

Today we spent the afternoon cleaning and carving our recently purchased pumpkins. I think we did a pretty good job considering we are rookies!






Here are the finished products.

Park Day in Chesterfield, Missouri - Park I

Today while Brinley was napping at Grandma's we decided to take the boys over to a local park. It was a real fun time. Enjoy the pictures.

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Today we took the kids to Rombach's Pumpkin Patch. This is a farm in St. Louis that has been in existance for many, many years. Since it was a Wednesday, there was absolutely nothing to do but wander around and look at piles and piles of over priced pumpkins. On the weekends they have hayrides and other fun activities. We took a few photos then drove across the street to Wal-Mart and bought our pumpkins there. Is that bad???






You will notice a picture of Brinley with a very muddy behind. This is what you get when you have your hubby in charge. He allowed her to go thru the corn maze by herself. Apparently there was a mud puddle inside. Ooops!

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Our neighbors just bought a treasure at a local yard sale. They call it the "Monkey Bike". Ethan has become a little obsessed with the bike. Here is some footage of Ethan riding it.
