So the last few weeks went by fast!! Kyle's Birthday was the 17th and it was super fun! We went to the Cheesecake Factory with the team on the 16th and celebrated Kyle and Brenden's Birthdays, then Sunday we had a family party. German chocolate cake was yummy!! Kyle got a fishing pole from me and a few other packages from family, Thanks!!

Kyle and I both gave talks in church, scary! Teaching the CTR 8&9 has been fun! The kids are so smart and silly it makes class wonderful! The ward is awesome and so welcoming. I got another calling to be a temple attender. Probably the best calling ever. I am called to attend the temple once a week for as long as I can. Starting that one tomorrow :)

While Kyle has been out selling, I have made friends with a few of the other wifes, Chalise and Lexi, both wonderful! We have fun girls days on my day off and swim parties at the pool on other days. They introduced me to a book called Unbroken. Probably the most intense read I have experienced yet. It's the story of a WWII veteran, true story! It is crazy and I definitley reccommend reading it if you get the chance!

We went cliff jumping Saturday down in Meramec State Park. The river was perfect temperature and the cliff wasn't too high. Probably about 15 to 20 feet, thankfully, since the water was only 7-8 feet deep. Lexi found a spider that is the size of the base of a gatorade bottle, no joke! It is huge!! A few floaters down the river helped us catch it and now it is a pet... yuck!

Our 6th month anniversary is coming up on Friday and Kyle decided to take the day off from work to explore St. Louis with me, I believe 6 flags is in the mix. What a wonderful hubby!!

Allison and Ken are moving back to Idaho!! WAHOO!! I'm so excited for that!! Miss them so much!! The fam will finally be back together!!

That's all for now! Until next time!!

Last week was fun and exciting! Max and I went with Aunt Sebra and cousins Dezon, Myles, and Selena to the City Museum! It was so fun!! For those who don't know, it's an old building in downtown St. Louis that has been reconstructed into the ultimate play zone! They have taken scrap pieces of all sorts and shaped into hundreds of tunnels and slides! Floors are interconnected it is crazy! Part of it is outside and part inside. The outside part has 2 old airplanes and a bus that hangs over the roof, it's pretty amazing!! Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures, I only got one. If I can get some from Sebra I will load some! There was also yummy hot wings and lots of swimming last week. The Alterra company BBQ was fun, we swam in the river and burried Keith  in the sand. I had a baby leech on my leg and it was yucky!! It's raining today so not much playing will be done but cinnamon rolls are definitely on the schedule! Here are some pictures from some of our adventures so far!


So these were taken on our first visit to the Arch.



These were Max's favorite attractions at the zoo :)


Kyle and I at the Cardinal's game






All of these were taken on our second visit to the Arch when we went to the tip top!




This is me in one of those airplanes I was talking about at the City Museum.

Welcome to our new Gagnon Family Blog!! I'm excited to start sharing our adventures as Kyle and I begin our new life together!

We are having a great time in St. Louis! While Kyle is out selling, I'm partying with Max, our 5 year old cousin! We have been to the zoo which is so big it makes me feel like I'm in a theme park and the Science Center. We spend lots of time at the pool and have a few days a week with the other cousins Dezon, Myles, and Selena. Kyle and I have been able to go to the top of the Gateway Arch. It was so cool!! As soon as I can figure out how to get my pictures from my phone onto my computer I will put some up! We also went to a Cardinal's baseball game. It was also pretty cool. The game wasn't too exciting but the stadium was awesome! Hopefully as the summer continues there will be a lot more to tell!
