Historic Old Courthouse

This morning after my weekly Yoga Under the Arch activity I decided to go check out the Old Courthouse across the street. Inside the restored Courthouse there was this glass/plastic model (I didn't touch it so I'm not sure what its made of) that I though was pretty cool. 

On display through the end of August were beautiful paintings by Bryan Haynes. The set is called TREES/WATER/SKY- A Walk Through Missouri. I took a couple snaps of my favorites. I love the color of the trees. Wow...seriously. 

This one had beautiful detail. I really liked all of his art, the paintings told the story of expanding Missouri & how men took over the Indians' land & built a city in their place. 

I climbed the old spiral staircase to the 2nd & 3rd...& small 4th floor. 

On the 2nd floor was the courtroom the Dred Scott case was held in. The detail in the pillars, stairs, judges seat & everything was gorgeous!

An old car on display

My favorite part of the Courthouse was the ceiling. There were paintings & beautifully carved crown molding & the colors were exquisite!

Next week I'll be going to a few more museums! I have to squeeze them all in before we have to go back to Utah. 

Superhero Dash

I apologize for not posting this sooner, this event happened the first week of June & I've just been slackin', getting my tan on at the pool. 

Our company does competitions for the wives in each office. May is always introducing the wives in the office & we came up with this

June is charity month. I saw a flyer for a race (which almost always are for a charity) to run for our gift of charity & knew it was the one. (Check out superman's photobomb!!)

 It was a superhero dash! We were going to get capes & besides the 5k, there was also a 1 mike walk/stroll that the mommas in the office could do! It was perfect!

 Unfortunately due to flooding the race had to be moved to another spot instead of running along the Missori river, which would have been beautiful, but it was great nonetheless. 

When the race started we let go of our balloons & took off!

It was a pretty big turn out! 

Kandice & I ran the race together, while everyone else did the stroll!

Here was our group! We're missing some girls but what do you think of our cool shirts!?!?

It was a fun first race. I'm ready & excited for my next one!

Baby Kai

Almost a month ago this precious spirit was born to Shelby & Jordan Ellett. When Shelby asked me to take a few newborn pictures I was a little nervous because I've never taken newborn pictures, or even been around a newborn for that matter. But it was a fun learning experience & I think they turned out pretty cute. Here are some of my faves :)

Sunday

I LOVE Sundays! Brady has been gone tons this summer already & I miss him like crazy! So Sundays are super special because they are his only days off. 

(I swear I'm wearing this shirt in every post, in reality I've worn it 3 times, I've just been in a photo mood every time)

Brady & I took a nice little walk around our complex before playing some Spikeball! If you've never heard of Spikeball go look it up RIGHT NOW because its the funniest, most addicting game ever! 

Then we had a dessert party later on & I got to hang out with this cutie

Ms. Anistyn Trost

Sundays are also great because we are able to go to church & be uplifted & edified!

Life

I have been really slacking lately with this little blog here so I'll catch everyone up on my life & the crazy things I do on a daily basis...

For Father's Day Brady sends me a picture & tells me that he saw this & HAD to get it for my dad! Happy Father's Day daddio!

I still go to yoga every Saturday morning

I have mastered the headstand. I could chill in this position for quite sometime...prob until all the blood rushes to my head & I turn blue...

Meet my instructor Marty

I got to go swimming with my man one morning before he went out for the day!

It was a blast!

Found these CUTE shoes at the outlet mall. Guess what brand they are..your never going to guess..give up already......Crocks!! They were so comfy, but I couldn't talk my self into spending $40 on them. No way Jose. 

But I DID buy these & another pair BOGO free in my new fav store!! It's called earthbound trading co. LOOoVed everything in there!!
