Plain ole' summer fun

Not too much has been going on in the Diggs house so far this summer. We have been spending time at the pool and Payton has joined her first t-ball team. We are hoping that this will help bring her out of her shell a bit. I think it has already. She really enjoys it and better yet, she is not too bad at it. We were suppose to have her first game last night but it got rained out. Hopefully next week will be better. Not sure what else lies ahead for us this summer. Payton will be turning 6 in July and then will be heading to first grade in the fall. We are just going to enjoy the summer and relax! Here are some pics on how we spend our free time. Enjoy!

This is Avery for you! We have some sidewalk paint and she wanted to paint, so I say sure. Got a bowl with some water and all her brushes. Leave her for a second and this is what I come back to......did you mean fingerpaint Avery??? An artist in the future...who knows

Here is the lawnmower that Stan just had to have last summer. No we do not live on a farm, an acre or even half an acre. But look how much we get out of it, or at least Avery does. He always has to take her for a ride after he cuts the grass.

Our trip to St Louis

Over Memorial Day the family headed to St Louis for a mini vacation. All of Stan's family lives there so obviously we travel there often but we seem to never take advantage of all the sight-seeing. His mother got Stan and I tickets to the Cardinals game that Saturday. They were actually playing the Royals. We had seats 11 rows behind 3rd base. They were pretty amazing. We had a great time. Then we headed back and just hung out and had dinner. On Sunday we ventured to the famous St Louis Zoo with the girls. They had a blast. We were there about 6 hours and I think we saw everything. It did rain on us a little but it cleared up and turned out to be a pretty day. Stan played some golf, I went to the casino--not a big winner, and we had a big cookout on Memorial Day. All in all it was a great get away and the girls had a great time. It was nice to actually stay there for more than 2 days and enjoy some of the attractions St Louis has to offer. We are going to try and do this at least once a year for sure!


Not my favorite picture, but he is my favorite! We really did have a great time!




The monkeys and the chimps were probably a family favorite
