WE also went and visited Sara and Jake in PA. It was so much fun to go and see them! We went to the Hershey factory and to Gettysburgh. We had a fun day and the kids were worn out.

WE also went to Cooperstown, NY to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Nate loved it and was able to see lots of cool stuff. I on the other hand was outside with Ryan most of the time he was quite the handfull those two days. I think he was teething as he always seems to be so he was really cranky.

We took a road trip to Pittsburgh in September. We watched two Cardinal games and checked out Pittsburgh. I thought the city was beautiful. I loved all the water and bridges. The games were great and we had good seats and company. Neal, Stacy, Mike, Joe, Rick, Laura, Todd, Terriann, and Wes were all there too. Ryan and Wes had lots of fun playing together and at one point we had to separate them cause they were being so loud, if that is possible at a baseball game.

Fun times with daddy! He was helping Nate water the plants one night while I was off to Irina's baby shower.

We went to the St. Louis Zoo after Stacy's wedding. Ryan loved all the animals. The zoo was really nice not to big not to small.

My sister Stacy got married this August too. It was fun to see her with her with her new sweetheart. They make a very cut couple.

Last trip to the lake for the summer. We had lots of fun this year going to the lake. We didn't go much but when we did we loved it and had lots of fun relaxing, skiing, and playing in the water.

Cardinal and Baseball are definetely apart of Ryan's vocabulary. He loves baseball. I guess cause he has watched it since he was born. He's been to three St. Louis Cardinal games and three or four Springfield Cardinal games. Oh ya, not to mention a ton of Softball games since both Nate and I played this last year. He already has a good little swing down. We got him a little glove that he loves to wear even though his hands are way to little to fit in it. Since we have been here in Hilton Head everytime it is time to go to bed he points to the bed and says baseball so he doesn't have to go to bed. It's because one night we put him on the bed for a little bit to drink him milk before he went to bed because he didn't want to go to bed yet, so now he tries to have us let him do it everynight.

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Lizzie lives in MO for the summer so Ryan was able to get to know his cousin Tucker. Ryan loved playing with Tucker even though he is a year older. They both love CARS so maybe that is why. I think Tucker was the first name of a person he said. It was a lot of fun getting to know Tucker and we missed him when he had to leave. Hopefully he will be back soon. Sara, Elizabeth , and Issac, came to visit for a couple of weeks too! He had lots of fun getting to know his cousins this summer. Lots of fun playing at grammies in the water, a trip to the lake, and right before we left MO again a trip to jump mania with Mathias, and Ashley, and Melissa.
