Apple Picking
































On Sunday we went to Eckert's Farm to pick honeycrisp apples. They were delicious! Matthew sampled a few, okay....a little more than a few. After picking (and eating) we enjoyed some yummy frozen custard. Brevyn slept through most of the trip. Can't wait until he needs to sit on his daddy's shoulders to reach the good ones. Lots of fun.




Journey To The Top












We took Brevyn and his Grandmas to the top of the Gateway Arch in St Louis. We showed Brevyn the Cardinal's Stadium, where we hope he will one day hit homeruns. The Grandmas were excited to see the muddy Mississippi River. Overall, a good time.



Old Towne St Charles









We went shopping in Old Towne St Charles over the weekend. Little man doesn't seem to mind it at all. The little shops all have interesting things inside. Shopping was right up Grandma Judy's alley. Lots of fun.

Taking a dip










The weather was nice, so we decided to take a dip in the pool. It wasn't as warm as his first time, but still fantastic. Plus, it gave me an excuse to have him wear his little swim trunks and shirt. The Grandmas enjoyed cooling off with Brevyn.

Crown Candy Kitchen













As part of the Grandma's visit, we spent a day out on the town. Enjoying Pappy's Smokehouse for lunch and then Crown Candy Kitchen for a little afternoon treat. Gram LOVES her ice cream (as we are sure some of you know). She was tempted to do the milkshake challenge. We can't wait for Brevyn to have a face full of ice cream some day soon.


Great-Grandma Time






Matt's mom and grandma are here to visit. Leaving lots of kisses all over Mr. Brevyn. Great Grandma loves to hold the little guy.

Daddy's Emergency Apron


This one is for Aunt Janice. Matt decided to break out his EMERGENCY apron. I think Daddy's Bottle is a little out of control. We will have to keep this around. Maybe put it in a little glass case on the wall with a little hammer. Love Brevyn's face, he looks a little worried by the situation.

Dr. Dewey

On Wednesday, we went to see my doctor. It was a great visit and kind of funny. The nurses all knew who he was. They called him the "Bastille Baby." I guess Dr. Dewey came back to the office after his birth and was telling everyone the "interesting" story of his birth. One for the books I guess.

"BOYZ" in the bed





"We be the BOYZ," seems to be a commonly heard phrase in our house at the moment. Matt loves his litte man. Tonight I came down the hall to find them lounging in the bed, spending their quality time together. Love them both.

Blackberry picking and a picnic

















































This weekend was full of fun. On Saturday we went to Eckert's Farm to go blackberry picking. It was a lot of fun. The blackberries were so ripe. They also had peaches for sale. But the picking had just ended. We made an awesome cobbler with them. On Sunday, we went for a walk with the dogs at McNair Park and had a little picnic too. He got his first real feel of the grass and had some good tummy time. He is getting so good at holding his head up high. Before we know it, he will be crawling and walking.
