Missouri

Jason and I were really looking forward to going to Missouri. We were so excited for Karli to see Alana, her cousin, and to see all the family out there. Bummer was, the trip did not go as planned. We left on a SUPER chaotic day. Karli had a fever and it turned out she had an ear infection. Her pediatrician almost didn't let her go. Thankfully he gave her some ear drops for the flight which made it bearable. I was so stressed out getting on the flight from a day of running all over the place getting prescriptions going to a couple different doctors and packing all while having a very fussy child. We were excited that Karli was probably going to sleep most of the plane ride, uhhh not so much. She was up 90% of the ride wanting to run. When we got there we were so excited to see my mother in law and Joya, my sister inlaw. That made the car ride nice because we were to happy to see them. We had a 2 hour car ride from St. Louis to Columbia. The next day was great spending time with the family, however Karli was not herself. Thursday Jason got a fever and a really bad cold. He had to miss the bachelor party. He was SO bummed! Friday we drove to Kansas City, 2 1/2 hour drive. That day I got sick. Karli would not stop crying that day. I broke out in tears. I felt awful, she felt awful. We were so bummed because it is so rare when we get to go to Missouri we want to make the most of the trip and we were sick :(
Heres some pictures from the wedding in Kansas city.

Karli and the groom Zach. Not quite sure what to say about this picture

Karli and Patrick. She loved him!

The day after the wedding we headed back to Columbia to spend more time with the family. Karli really enjoyed her time with Grandpa. They colored and played piano.

Karli and "nana" (as Karli says)

We got Alana an ironing board for her birthday. Joya taught her how to iron

Alana has the cutest personality! She loved wearing this scarf/shirt thing

 The next day we headed back to St. louis to see Gigi and Joya and Alana. Gigi gave her some adorable gifts. Including this doll that she now calls her baby. She LOVES that baby.

Joya made us a YUMMY lunch!

Me and my two favorite little girls

All in all we were happy to see everyone. Wish we could have been well so we could have fully enjoyed every moment. But anytime Karli gets to spend with her family is much needed!
