House Guests!!!

I remember back in my young days of HS when I thought that if two people loved each other it didn't really matter what their families were like. After experiences & revelations I realized that for me...that is SO not true. Luckily, I love Kyle's family just as much as mine and enjoy any time that we get to hang out with them. Last weekend Mike, Valinda, and Kevin all flew in from TX and David, Misty, and Ryan (uncle, aunt, cousin) drove in from OK. We had a great time with them...the time just went by WAY too fast. We also did some things in St.Louis we had never done before! (toured the brewery...went up in the arch...) I thought I'd post some pics of our adventures.
The best part of the brewery was seeing the horses & dalmations: (plus the dalmation loved us because we smelled like JoJo & Mariah) P.S. The brewery was soooo amazing clean everywhere!!

I thought it was neat you could see the bottom of the arch from the top.

Busch Stadium from the arch.

Us all squeezing into the little egg-like tram. (Kyle took the pic but he actually fit in there too!) Apparently Ryan and I had the same "special" chocolate gravy that morning.


Thanks to the help of some really great guys (Greg James, Kyle, Jeff Klee) my boxes were completed for our living room wall. They did an awesome job and they worked VERY hard to get them up before the guests came in!! I know previously I said I was going to nail boards to make them....but when I went to get help from Greg about what I needed to do...HE LAUGHED AT ME. Can you believe that? He told me to just let him handle it. So thanks guys!!

Well I must say the boxes look much better than the paper on the wall and the candles look great. Did you end up staining or painting the wood. Glad you had a great time with Kyle's family. I love that Ryan has his jeans tucked into his boots, he was definitely a "foreigner" in St. Louis

The wall decor looks great! You did a great job.
Glad you got to spend time with Kyle's family, now we just wish you could spend time with yours. We miss you bunches. We got to see your parents and Brooke for several hours yesterday and sure did miss you and Kyle.
When will you get to come home to Texas? We need to see our Em!
Love ya!
