Family Pictures 2013

I'm so far behind on my blog (again). I wanted to post some of the family pictures we took in Idaho before I forget. :) Hoping to update my blog soon!

Katelyn Wray took our photos again. I love them so much!

Meet Me in St. Louis

Dallas' cousin Bracken and his family are our nearest family, since they live 8 hours away in Arkansas. :) St. Louis is about half way for both of us, so we met up their for Labor Day weekend.

We were late getting up there because of Dallas' work, but we caught the tail end of a Rams game. I'm so ticked I forgot to get a picture of our family!

 Bracken and Katie were nice enough to watch the kiddos for us so we could go to the St. Louis temple on our 5th anniversary. 

This is what I said on Facebook, "Five years ago I was sealed to the most amazing man in the Idaho Falls Temple. Today we were able to spend the day at the St. Louis Temple. I'm so thankful I get to spend forever with him. He has held my hand through childbirth, kissed my bald head during chemotherapy, supported me through multiple surgeries, and comforted me through a computer screen when we were 7000 miles apart. He has made me smile through my tears and multiplied my happiness. He has seen me at my worst but always thought the best of me. He has always supported my dreams and helps me see my own potential. He brings out the best in me and makes me want to be a better person. I love you forever Dallas!"

 The St. Louis Zoo was awesome! All the animals were so close and, even better, it was FREE!

Bracken and Maverick

The (other) Abrams

Amaya was freaking out in the penguin house because it stunk so bad. Later she told me it was her favorite part. Figures.

Oaklie didn't seem to mind the smell

She is the queen of photo bombs! All the world's a modeling shoot.

This is probably my favorite picture of Dallas ever. 

The kiddos

I took this picture. It's definitely Christmas card material, huh?

What Oaklie came to see, the bears.

This huge butterfly's wings were the most gorgeous blue on the inside, but I wasn't able to catch a picture of it.

Union Station in St. Louis

This fish were all trying to get fed. I so wanted to go buy a net and just start scooping them up.

Don't drop the baby!

Inside the St. Louis arch is a little tram that takes you to the top. We went up in these little pods. 

Checking out the view from the top.

We had a great trip and can't wait to see Bracken and Katie over Thanksgiving!
