This is my first real smile caught on film so we thought we would post it for everyone to enjoy!!!

Cahokia Mounds

These mounds are from 900 to 1200 A.D. On some of the mounds people lived, like this one behind us. And others were burial mounds. On mound had one man and 300 women in it. He had his work cut out for him. HAHA

We really enjoyed visiting the mounds. The mound that we are standing on is the kings home. It was a pretty big mound. The top was flat and very big. Well, there is not much known about the cahokias, so I cannot tell you to much more.

Here we are at the end of the road trip

So here we are at the St. Louis Arch.

Allyn, Beckie, Dana, and Heather at the base of the arch. It was a very windy and rainy day.

Okay, so this is a fun little story. This is the POD that we had to ride up and down in. It was very little. And as it moved so did you, right off the sits. We were sliding around especially if you had a dress on. (which I did) They were very hot also.

Downtown St. Louis. Pretty

Dana and Allyn. This is at the top of the Arch. It was just a long hallway, filled with lots of people and windows.

This is my surprise Birthday Party. And Jared got me Rock Band for my birthday present. It was sweet.











We are changing in a hospital parking lot. We didn't want drive all the way to St. Louis in our Sunday clothes, so that was the alternative. We were getting ready to go to the temple.















Here is the St. Louis Temple. It was so pretty. We all enjoyed it. Get this we went on July 2 and 3 which was Wednesday and Thursday. And I went into labor the next Tuesday. HAHA cutting it close.

So this is back tracking a little. This was in the middle of June. Jared and myself plus Blake and Heather went to the church sites in Independence.

















I thought this picture was funny. It was so HOT this day that the boys thought of sitting in the fountain. Don't worry they didn't.









The person on the end (that is not me) is Heathers little sister, Becca.
