Fun times in St Louis!

Today we headed to St Louis to watch Dayno in the Naga World Tournament!  It was alot of fun to watch him wrestle!  We were all cheering him on, even Kerrigan yelled Day a couple times!!!  He placed 2nd and got a nice big medal!! LOTS of fun!

Ready to cheer on Bubby!!

Ready for his match!

Then we headed to the hotel where we were staying and ordered pizza, swam and got to visit!  The girls loved the pool, you could swim under a wall and go from inside to outside!   They love to swim!

pizza party!

Daddy, Mommy and the girls all snuggled in the big bed and watched Barbie movies and ate popcorn the rest of the evening!!!  What a fun relaxing time!!  Felt like a little vacation in the middle of the work week:)

THEIR FAVORITE PART OF THE HOTEL!!

Kerrigan needs your help!

Hi this is Kerrigan and I've stolen Momma's blog today to ask for a favor! My Aunties and friends need your help!    I'm a Taiwan Xi En baby, that's  the orphanage in Taiwan that helped me find my Mommy and Daddy!   The government of Taiwan has decided that Taiwan Xi En (TXE) can no longer do adoptions until they have a rather large sum of money in an escrow account!    What's the big deal you say?  Well what if they had decided this a year earlier... I wouldn't be here having an amazing life with my Mommy, Daddy, brothers and sisters.... No I would be "stuck" an orphan, all  because the government won't let TXE process adoptions.   Don't get me wrong the love I had at TXE was amazing my Aunties are the best....but there is nothing in the world like having a family to call your own!

How can you help?  They have a huge fundraising campaign going on right now called Project 117! 

http://www.project117.org/

They have t shirts, bracelets and my favorite the calendar....because I'm in IT!!!... Oh ya along with my other cute friends from TXE!    They are also collecting change in baby bottles... Everyone has some spare change right?  ;).   If you would like a baby bottle to fill up yourself let my Momma know and she will get it for you!  

Every dollar helps out and gets us closer to the goal and closer to bringing together families like mine;) 

If you can donate $1 or more please go to.

If you have any questions I would love to answer them...but Mommy says I speak Kerriganese and I'm hard to understand...so maybe ask my Mom or Dad they would love to tell you all about TXE the good they do and why we need to help them bring more families together!!! 

Did you see all my friends in this picture.....these sweet babies are at TXE right now!  They all want what every child wants....a family!  With your help we can raise the funds the government wants and be able to process adoptions again!!!  Then ALL these cuties will have Forever Families, just like Me, Ava and Gabi!  

Feel free to email or Facebook my  Mom and she will help you help these sweet babies!

Family Fun Thursday.....baby reveal;)

Thursdays here are family fun day!  We are all home and Keagan and Megan try to come out.  Tonight we had our first Bon Fire of the season!   Lovely weather for it!  Girls played on the swings,  slide and trampoline.  We found a litter of kitties under the slide of the play castle...ahhhh country living....Never know what your gonna find next!  Tonight was also the night we got to find out if we were getting a new niece or nephew!! Kim and Maddy made a card and mailed it.  Kim had Sherry bake cupcakes with  colored centers and we got to all find out together!  We have 4 kiddos and this was our first gender reveal party!  I have to admit it was fun!  Hopefully many more gender reveal parties in our future....grandkids and nieces and nephews that is;)   Family is such a blessing...we are blessed beyond measure!

We found kitties!  LOVE country living!

Love that toothless grin!!

Momma and her Girls!

Did I forget to mention I can't tell whether I'm getting a niece or nephew;). Sorry!!!  Hee Hee!!

Lunch with my girl!

Today Ava invited me to have lunch with her at school!  It was so cute. She was smiling as big as could be while showing me off to her friends and telling me how the lunch line works...you get a fork and then a napkin..and so on;). So cute!  If only they would always be that glad to see their Momma!  They grow up way to fast!!
