I'm back

I finally figured out how to load photos to my apple computer!  Hooray. We are back in business and not a moment to soon as Boyd begins Kindergarten September 2.  I'll do my best to catch everyone up on the last few months and hope to be better about lugging my camera around again.  I got lazy and started relying on my phone. So here goes the recap on the last four months in pictures.

Lots of outside time this spring and summer riding bikes, planting flowers, playing in the sprinkler, playing in the pool, water balloons, exploring, digging in the construction dirt piles, soccer, baseball,  and more 

 A late Spring visit from our good pal Noah or Leonardo.

 When indoors there is always lots of costume time.

 Some beautiful June birthday cards for his cousins.  Best work to date.

 End of the year field trip to Braehead Farms.  A favorite place of Boyd and mine.  We visited several times this summer to pick berries and vegetables and play in their amazing barnyard.

 Our neighborhood is safe.

 Checking out the map to see where the call is coming from and to make a plan.

 June visit to St. Louis. Sprinkler time.

 Going back in time with toys.

 Trying on every piece of jewelry from Great Grandma. He thought the broach was a belt buckle.

 A visit from Aunt Emily, Uncle Gabe and Miles added to the fun.

 Reminding Boyd of the toss game he used to play as a baby

 Loving on Aunt Emily

 Sisters with their wild boys.

 Partners in crime.

 Puzzles with grandma.

 Vehicle day in Missouri always a treat for the boys.

 Loving on Great Grandma Ramsey

 New York City trip.  Boyd rules the town.

 Empire State building.

 Exciting treat...all the NYPD.  They recruited Boyd.

 Mom: Do you need a compass in Space? Boyd: No, remember the footprints.  They don't go away so you can just follow them back.

 Spider walking the walls.

 Army mission with Grandpa after their Florida trip.
