Springfield, MO trip

One last trip before Roman arrives! We flew out of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport by our house. Turns out, it was cheaper to fly and it is only 10 minutes away! Plus, parking was a breeze and only $5 per day! The only downfall is that the airline we used (Allegiant Air) only flies to select cities.

While in MO we visited Chad's friends from high school again. Cindy and Jason Smith (and all their family) were so kind to us and the pancakes we had on Sunday morning before church were delicious (as always!). Cindy's parents even had some cute kitties for me to play with. Too bad Chad wouldn't let me take one home. :( Cindy's mom was so sweet to me...on top of being so kind and welcoming she made me a diaper cake! It was adorable. There was even a little hand-made knitted bottle holder..beyond cute! I couldn't fit it in my luggage so they said they would ship it to us! After another yummy home-made meal (red, beans and rice), the guys went golfing...I heard it was a blast, despite the cold! And to top the day off, we all met at Cindy's house for another great meal and some apple pie! What a great day it was! Then we visited Steve and Carrie Brown. They too welcomed us into their home for some yummy burgers and entertainment from their daughter, Kira. She would run around chasing the cat. If she was successful in catching him, she would try to put him a cupboard...then laugh and laugh and laugh! Good times! We even got to see their newest addition...their son, Cody who is 4 months old and a hefty, healthy 20lbs (almost)!

We were able to stop by the ranch and roam around a bit. We even saw a huge 10 point deer (a deer with 10 antlers)! It was amazing! Overall, the weather was gorgeous and the company was delightful! Thanks to all of them.
