So Olivia turned 4, it was a lively birthday party with 4 missionaries, 3 were being transferred out so wanted to come say goodbye and take pics, one RM who came to visit us while he was here from California dating the most stunning woman ever created (I told you he would be snapped up too quick, yeah, YOU know who I'm talking to!), and our favorite friend Bryant. 6 bachelors (that's code for very big boys) and 4 rowdy kids plus the rest of us makes for a very tight fit in our tiny little house. Just the way our kids like it, and I didn't hurt a single one!

Duane turned 38 on Sunday.

It's amazing the change in him already!Gas prices dropped to an amazing low, for a day...And Duane is pretty sure Katie has been sneaking into the Nyquil!

We also managed to go to the St Louis Science Center where Duane took these cool pics!

As you can see, this very tiny room is actually built on a slant which my kids just thought was a fun slide room, but since your brain automatically assumes that all rooms are built at a right angle, this is what you see.
