St Louis Zoo!

St Louis had a FABULOUS zoo. So we decided to spend our Saturday there...

Look at his LOOOONG tongue...

This guys is an orangutan...He weighs over 400 pounds and is 20 years old.

Bird pictures for Grandma Bobbie!!

The peacock was just hanging out (not in a cage) in the bird garden.

We thought this toucan looked like a stuffed animal...such vibrant colors in the beak.

i LOVE giraffes.

The male camel was all about strutting his stuff.

kyle wants a spider monkey.

for a pet.

Sea lion and seal feeding

Mama and baby iguanas..

Penguins for John!!

"John will be so disappointed if we don't see the penguins." -Kyle

This is a Puffin.

We think it looks like a duck penguin.

The hippos were huge!

The weather was gorgeous! So many of the animals were out.. it was quite enjoyable!

Home and Garden Show!

There was a home and garden show in St Louis last weekend and Kyle and I decided that we would go... It was a fun Saturday morning! There was a wine club booth... it was very fun! We got to try 3 white wines and 3 red. The most exciting part of the morning was parking in a vacant lot (for free) and hoping that we were still going to be there when we got out! Lucky for us, we were! :)

Indy!

We are only about three hours from Indy so we decided to head up one weekend and see the city and visit family. Kate and Mike were kind enough to let us stay at their BEAUTIFUL home. We got in late Friday night and left Sunday morning. Saturday morning we hung out and then made our way to Aunt Lori's. Then the five of us headed to see Brandi and Jayme's new place!

After the "Tour of Homes-Part I" Kate, Lori, and I squeezed in some shopping while Kyle and Mike stayed home to watch basketball.

Then we headed to Steve and Kim's house to meet baby Claire!

(This is were you pretend there is a picture of sweet Claire... I forgot my camera!)

Uncle Brett swung by Kate and Mike's for a drink before all the cousins met for dinner at Palomino's. We were really excited we got to see almost everyone. (We missed you Erin!)

Dinner was a blast.. as expected when you get the Sexton kids together. We went back to Kate and Mike's and talked until the wee hours of the night! Sunday morning Kate made breakfast and Aunt Lori came over to hear about the evening...

We had so much fun and hope to go back again before we move back to Oklahoma. :)

Utah...GLORIOUS!

We had a family (minus James, MC, and Caroline) ski weekend in Utah! Everyone flew into Salt Lake City on Friday night. We stayed downtown and ski three different resorts. It was a blast!

Mammy and I right after Kyle and I made it to the hotel.

YAY! Salt Lake City!

2010!

For New Year's Eve, Kyle and I went to the St Louis Blues game. It was great fun! We sat in the Edward Jone suite. The Blues were up 3-0 midway through the 2nd period and then managed to lose 4-3 in overtime. Although they did lose, Kyle and I had a great 1st NHL experience.

Personally, I think the best part of hockey are the fights.

After the hockey game, we had a few people over to our apartment. We brought in the New Year playing guitar hero, laughing, and enjoying new friends.

Home for the Holidays

Kyle and I decided that we were going to drive to Oklahoma for Christmas even though there was a blizzard. We wanted to spend Christmas with our families... with the good Lord on our side, we made it home in about 10 hours.

Kelcy and Beth came with us too! :)


So happy to be home!!!


Christmas morning was glorious!
Kyle loved sitting in front of the fireplace.

After we opened presents and had breakfast with my parents, we went to Kyle's grandma's house. We also got to see his Grandma and Grandpa Tefft. It was wonderful to see everyone!

We had such a glorious Christmas!

Kyle was dying to go bowling...so we all went on Saturday. It was a lot of fun.

We played girls against boys...and unfortunately the boys won... UGH!

I did not think we needed beer at 11:30 am, but the power of Chuck had other plans.

Love you Daddy.

The bowling crew- Jaybob we loved seeing you!!

Christmas is also Kelcy's birthday, but this year she decided to wait and have her birthday party on Saturday. We went to Playa Azul and then on to Crappy's and Scooters.

Tefft gals..

Kyle loves self portraits.

Christopher made it to Crappy's. It was wonderful seeing him and Tim.
