Its always hard to be good parents. We try to mix things up for the kids to keep life interesting. This evening, we decided to do something different with the kids. We got pizza, then picked up the kids from after care. From there we went to the Laumeier Sculpture park. Of course, we started … Continue reading “Sculpture Park Dinner – 4/23/2015”

It had been planned a few months out and had a fair number of volunteers. At the start, the group was splitting into two. First, a group of people that … Continue reading “Stream team Cleanup MacKenzie Creek – 4/18/2015”
Danelle needed some quite time in the office to study for school. I decided the best way to achieve that was to take the kids out to a park.

When I went to pick up Sonora, Kevin and Nancy were attempting to inflate the ball. Like anything in life, it isn’t as easy as it looks in the commercials! … Continue reading “Brown’s Ball – 12/13/2014”
Danelle and Sonora went over to Ryan and Ingrid’s house for the annual Christmas cookie party. This year, the party was back at Ingrid’s house (last year at our house due to new babies).

The Missouri Botanical Garden put out their annual Christmas Light and we decided to grace them with our presence. It was extremely cold outside, but it was still crowded. Corvin and I were not completely in the mood to visit that night, so we were not quite up to the Christmas spirit. I wasn’t thinking … Continue reading “Garden Glow – 11/21/2014”
