May

May went by fast!  Owen finished up his soccer league and Elsie continued taking gymnastics.  We celebrated Mother's Day and went to Worlds of Fun.  We also took the kids to Grandma and Grandpa Casanova's house while Sarah and I went to St. Louis.  Seems like we've had something going on every weekend.  What a busy month!

Elsie and Owen were both in the same height range at Worlds of Fun so they could both ride the same rides this year.  That was great, because last year Owen was frustrated because he couldn't ride some of them.

Owen said his favorite ride was the train.  :)

Last weekend Sarah and I went to St. Louis to meet up with friends.  The guys were to play golf at a very nice country club and the ladies were going to enjoy a day out on the town.  On the way through Boonville we dropped the kids off with Grandma and Grandpa Cas.  They had lots of fun things planned.  There was a petting zoo at Orscheln AND they were going to a wedding reception out in the country at a friends house.  As you can see, they had a great time!

They even got to ride a camel!  

It seems like a long time ago, but Mother's Day was only a few weeks ago.  To celebrate we opened presents at our house in the morning and then went over to Grandma and Grandpa Cox's house for a great lunch!

Elsie is really great at making homemade cards.

When we were in Boonville for Easter, Elsie and Owen helped Grandma and Aunt Marilyn make these cute flower pots with their hand prints of them for a cute Mother's Day surprise.

June is looking busy as well.  We've got swim lessons for both kid starting in a couple of weeks, we are going to ride Thomas The Train again, and Sarah is taking a trip to Herman with her friends.  It just never slows down!

See ya,
Ryan, Sarah, Elsie, and Owen
