Mary Poppins

WOW!! It is a FANTASTIC show. Mom, Marsha, Steve and I all headed to the FOX to see Mary Poppins. I loved it and am still singing the songs..."Just a Spoon Full of Sugar" "Step In Time"....that was probably my favorite scene. I also loved "Supercalifragilistexpialidocious" It was a GREAT day!!

Mom doesn't remember the last time she was at the FOX. Possibly in the 80's. We had a great day!! Thanks Steve for being the photographer.

A New School Year

Shayne started 7th grade today. So far, so good. He likes his classes and teachers!! Woo Hoo!! Praying for a repeat of last year....awesome grades!!! and a good attitude (most of the time )!

THE BOYS

Some of the most special ladies in my life. I've laughed, hurt, cried and prayed with these ladies several times a month for many years. I love you all....even those of you not in my picture.

4th of July Fun

We did our "traditional" events of the 4th. Bridgeton parade, family BBQ and watching fireworks. Unfortunately it was a bit rainy but we got all 3 events accomplished!! Shayne watched the parade in the hatch of the car. We had fun watching with our little friend Calvin, Tricia, Marsha and Caitlin. Calvin had the best shirt on, it says "My Daddy is my Hero"

Our New Toy

weekend full of family fun

The whole "Kerper" gang was together for the weekend minus Heath who had to work. We had a great time. Enjoyed all the great grandkids. Spent a day at the Magic House which everyone enjoyed. Had LOTS of great food!! And just had a great time visiting and enjoying each other. Wish we all lived closer to each other and could do this more often. Loved being with everyone....I have an AWESOME family!!

Fisher Cave

While we were camping at Meramec State Park we toured one of the many caves there. It was beautiful inside. I don't think I can line my words up with the pictures I took b/c I did it in some strange fashion?? So, the group pictures is the gang waiting to go in. There is a picture of Uncle Mike, Sam and Tori. Another picture of Shayne and his buddy Adrian checking things out inside the cave. It was fun experience...we even saw some orange cave salamanders. Things bot pretty muddy Saturday morning but dried up rather quickly except for Mike and Tina's rug and campsite. The kids caught tadpoles,minnow and hellbenders at the stream near our sight. Overall, it was a great weekend. After the rain cleared out the weather was perfect.
